Well it's pretty typical for horror movies to have some totally weird sci fi "twist" ending. Like that one Stephen King book with the "same day different shit" thing or whatever. The real scary ending is when the main character gets sold into slavery.

Nothing you said is typical and you can use your logic either way. Typical white people win but it is not typical that black people overcome the whitey. so the ending is unique
 
Finally got around to watching it.

I enjoyed it but it really hurt it going in knowing the twist. It was like watching a Twilight Zone episode and knowing the ending. Still enjoyable but I really wish I could have went in blind.

I definitely give it credit it for being an old-school style horror movie. The music, the tension, the build-up. It's a really well made movie that didn't feel stupid or typical of Hollywood at all. It's especially impressive for being Peele's first movie.
 
Black Mirror has episodes that are better than this movie. I thought Get Out was decent. I'm a bit shocked that this movie is so loved.

Lately I've been having shoop guys make them, unfortunately I don't have the resources to make animated ones anymore.

Ya because deep down you hate yourself for liking one of the hypocritical douche bags in the last decade.

Kap is not who he tries to be and you should have your common sense checked out if you really think a guy who got benched has always been fighting for justice. This was a planned attack and blacks fell for such horrible leader.

Pick better leaders buddy because hes fake as fuck

The same types of attacks were made against people like Ali and Malcolm X. The fact that he has so many rustled only proves his effectiveness
 
How did this piece of shit movie get bumped? Let it die.
 
Based on the marketing it seemed a little heavy handed in its political message which I do not really care for in my entertainment. But the audience reactions has me a little more interested in it.
 
Just around and saw it

Decent movie. Would recommend to watch if you just want some entertainment. The main thing I have against it is that they never really explored why they went for black folks. They mentioned that they were physically stronger but it just doesn't seem plausible why they would only go for them. My interpretation of the whole movie is that Peele want's to show that seemingly nice white liberals can still harbor supremacy sentiments and they still keep black people in the "sunken room".

The political message is as simple as "even well-intentioned racism is racism".

The movie is worth a watch. I gave it an 8. I think it's one of the better horror/thrillers over the last decade. It's a got a fresh and unique story, but it was lacking in substantive material. It wasn't groundbreaking, but I've gone back to it a few times, and I immensely enjoy it.

Whatever. He is probably the fakest person you could follow. Lots of people lack common sense
 
what an over ratted piece of crap. just stole elements of a few classic horror movies and added in SJW victim culture... boring and lame

What did you expect from a liberal Hollywood filmmaker?

 
I enjoyed the movie. It was interesting, trying figure out what was going on. The audience was really annoying. Clapping and cheering at the final act. I’ve never experienced that in a movie theatre in my area. Not even for Star Wars.

Personally, I saw it as a criticism of people trying to speak on behalf of black people and using them for virtue signalling.

It brought to mind something that appeared on my Facebook wall due to a friend commenting on a post from someone I (thankfully) don’t know. He was a white man, all distraught over the fact that a black man insinuated he was racist on Facebook. He responded with a lengthy post about how much of a good “ally” he was and included many photos of him with black people to prove it. The photos looked like photo ops with clients. It was a really desperate, cringeworthy display.

When people talk about “being a good ally” and using friendships or even work relationships as their own personal proof of how tolerant they are, all I see is people treating people as their little pets to parade around, something to show off to others to prove how morally superior they are.

Anyway, I saw that message in the movie but I can also see it being taken other ways.
 
saw this forever ago but Ill comment. its alright. worth a rewatch sometime. not amazing. 7/10
