Jordan Peele to Get Out!

[BeserkerHilf]

Well he's not wrong.

 

[Boom]

Armond White gave it a negative review?

So the film is still at 100% then.

 

[The Shape]

Ah, yes. The ingenious Little Man.

 

[Boom]

Yes. If only Get Out was more like Norbit.

 

[scarlet-witch]

"ingenious Little Man?"

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[kguillou]

Coming from someone who will watch and love just about anything the Wayans bros do, that statement is absolutely preposterous.

 

[tzarinna]

I came across a meme last night on facebook that ruined the movie for me, ****er.

 

[LoganGambit87]

153 reviews and poor little armond only negative review

 

[DeadStroke]

When does the UK review this movie?

Really interested if guys like Mark Kermode will like it.

And par for the Hollywood course, studios will scramble to find avant garde young black comedic directors.

With Allisons character

Spoiler

I went from thinking that she was in on it, to she had no idea what was going on, to she to was hypnotized by her parents. I kind of wish the later had happened. When she was trying to find the keys it totally felt like she was lost

Spoiler

I kinda had the feeling she was in on it all when the protagonist found all those pictures of her in the closet. Earlier in the movie she mentioned that he was the first black guy she'd dated. It ran through my mind that she'd been hypnotized into bringing them home, but I was certain she was in on it when she couldn't find the damn keys.

I usually don't subscribe to the "they're just being contrarian for the sake of it, or to get a rise out of people." But Armond White has done this so many times with so many films, that I think that that's probably exactly what it is in his case.

 

[Incarnadine]

They must have wrote that using the early estimates. When the weekend actuals came out it really did $33,377,060 in 3 days.

 

[LoganGambit87]

well it looks like its official armond white is the only critic to give this a negative review

You don't say?

I hate to be on the same side as Armond White lol but I didn't particularly enjoy it.

First the positive, strong performances and well directed. Peele really was able to create tension and mood. I found it to be a little too mean spirited and seemed to lose it's satirical wit in the third act. I mean people in the audience were cheering each time one of the Armitages were killed. While I was rooting for the protagonist to get out of the house, I didn't quite understand that type of response. It sort of reminded me of when Dave Chapelle canceled his show because someone laughed too hard one of his racial jokes.

I also felt that some of what it was doing was a little bit too on the nose and sometimes it seemed muddled. For instance, the blind man isn't racist but still takes advantage of his position in this cult to subjugate these black men who are being taken and used.

As someone who is White and Latino I always find it odd that we often look and discuss race as a dichotomy between white and black in this country. Which is why I was hesitant in seeing this movie because I was worried that it would look at it through that type of lens.

The blind man is among the.most succinct point in the film. You don't have to be hateful to benefit from. The subjugation and consumption of black bodies and talent.

Oh, I got it but the fact that he was literally blind was a little much.

 

[terry78]

Latinos and Asians can "pass" with either race depending on how they were brought up. It's like racial purgatory. The mindset is, you either act white, act black, or like a foreigner. I am not even being facetious.

No, it's much more complex than that.

Really? They treated these men and woman like cattle(ie a slave auction.)

If he'd just got out of there, he'd basically been leaving them to simply find another person to be their cattle.

The last time I remember seeing an audience response like that was QT's Death Proof where Stuntman Mike, someone who treated women as inferior, got what was coming to him when the women beat him to a pulp.

To a lot of people it isn't.

I think that the word people are looking for is "cathartic." It was cathartic.
