Get Out is a 2017 horror movie that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. It stars actors Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford, LaKeith Stanfield, and Rel Howery. When a boyfriend meets his girlfriend’s parents, he must stay awake or sink. Let me give you an explanation of the Get Out movie.
Couple Chris (played by Kaluuya) and Rose (Williams) have decided to take the next step in their relationship. Therefore, they are driving for the weekend to meet her parents. But he can’t help to ask, “Do they know I’m black?”
To his surprise, parents Missy (Keener) and Dean Armitage (Whitford) welcome him with open arms upon arriving at their residence. Moreover, the Armitages have already organized the weekend with their prestigious friends.
At the get-together, he notices that every guest is white, except him, the housekeepers, and Logan (Stanfield). Shockingly, his TSA friend Rod (Howery) discovers a shivering fact.
In addition, he realizes that all eyez are on him. At this point, he doesn’t know who to trust anymore. But one thing is certain: the clock is ticking. So, he either stays woke or succumbs to the “sunken place.”
Despite not being on the cast, rapper Childish Gambino provides the perfect song for the motion picture with “Redbone” from his album “Awaken My Love!” (2016). “They going to find you, gon’ catch you sleeping, now stay woke!”
“Get Out” tackles subjects such as racism, stereotypes, and hypnosis. As you watch the cinema, you can’t help but empathize with the protagonist and root for him to escape from being another statistic.
The film is the debut of filmmaker Jordan Peele. His second production “Us” (2019), was also critically acclaimed. With his third motion picture called “Candyman” (2021) out now, all eyez are on him.
