Jordan Peele's GET OUT (Wins an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay)

[Kirin]

I'm with you man. Lately the blizzard of snowflake white male conservatives trying to paint themselves as victims of anti-white or anti-male plots because of the most harmless things, like people giving positive movie reviews or the gender of the new Star Wars lead or a pro athlete kneeling, has really gotten out of hand. They have certainly overtaken the left as far as SJWism goes, they just have a different definition of social justice.

I'm surprised folks are so offended by the racial message of this flick, since it was alluding to more liberal New England "don't worry I voted for Obama" crowd being the actual villans and didn't go after conservative culture or anything close to that.

Get Out was great. It's been a long time since I've seen a horror movie where I was that invested in certain characters "Getting Out" and others getting what they deserve. Well shot too, decent of amount of easter eggs and subtle nods to the theme in the art direction, wardrobe, good attention to details. Not just your paint by numbers horror flick directing.

IMO anyone saying this was a TERRIBLE flick has really strong feelings on race and is over-focused on that. It was well paced, a good balance of campy and suspense, had good acting and was well directed. Which is more than you can say about 95% of horror flicks in the last few years.

LOL at "lately". Same shit has been rampant for decades; it's why guys like nixon and reagan had so much success pandering to that base. Their messages of "law and order" and trickle down economics really resonated with the "oppressed" whites in this country who want to see minorities put back in their place and off of welfare which is killing this country.

I'm going to write a sequel, use this thread as the script and title it Get Over It.

Does the black guy die first in this movie?

Everybody gets along and audiences on both sides of the political spectrum will be pissed.

Edit. I forgot I said I was using the thread as a script. Dammit a plothole!

give me a fucking break. it was terribly over hyped and did not deserve the praise it got. but cut it the fuck out with the complete over exaggerations. one of the worst films youve ever seen? have you seen 10 movies in your whole life?

I loved this movie.

I loved this movie.

Thought it was a solid thriller 7/10 after first watch. Even better on the second watch when I understood it was partly a statement against liberals fetishizing blackness. 8/10.

It was? Wasn’t Skeleton Key about possessing people so you can stay alive forever inside someone else? Get out was about hypnotizing people to make them your slave.

Get Out was about

transferring the minds of old or disabled white people into young black bodies. Skeleton key was about transferring old or disabled people into young bodies but via voodoo.

Only real difference is the voodoo thing and the addition of the black thing.

 

[Sir Galahad]

I liked it. I just wish Allison Williams showed her tittays.

 

[Halifax]

Biggest plot hole is how this piece of shit got good reviews. Honestly one of the worst films I've seen

Who is that in your avatar?

So anything that addresses any kind of racism is "shoving it down your throats," even if it was merely used as the vehicle to drive the plot forward?

It was more than a plot device. The movie was a satire about race relations. It is key to understanding the movie.

I loved it, and am surprised so many people completely missed the point.

 

[Ares Black]

It's a garbage movie. Get over it.

It was one of the best movies of the year. You just missed the point. Possible racist detected.

 

[Ares Black]

I was wondering that too. But didn't he just through the restraints? I can't remember how he actually got out oof the chair. But I thought it was just that he busted through the restraints. Either way, that was a good movie. I really enjoyed it. It was weird, creepy, kind of funny, and a little scary. I'm sure everyone on sherdog will go through it with a fine tooth comb to pick out anything they could possibly use to criticize it. And I'm sure those same people think Die Hard is a masterpiece of American cinema.

Die Hard IS a masterpiece of American cinema.

While the plot is just like Skeleton Key, Get Out is actually watchable.

Liberal Hollywood will never give credit to a brilliant film because of the underlying theme. @Der Eisbär

I knew it!
Never watched it because its the first thing i thought of. Might still watch it, but it seemed an obvious bite off of SK

Gotta show some respect to whites brother

It's ridiculous comparing Skeleton Key to Get Out. The only similarity is they're both filmed in the South.

The core plot is the same. People swapping bodies through nefarious means. However Skeleton Key is a garbage movie. If there is someone out there who's seen both and likes SK more, I don't want to talk about movies with that person.
Get Out is also the unofficial sequel to Being John Malkovich.
