Get Out

 "Get Out" is a 2017 horror film directed by Jordan Peele that tells the story of Chris Washington, a young Black man who spends the weekend with his white girlfriend's family. Chris discovers a dark secret lurking beneath the surface of the seemingly idyllic and wealthy white suburb as the weekend progresses. Through the concept of the "sunken place," a hypnotic state in which Chris finds himself, the film explores the subconscious ways in which racism operates in our society. 

    Peele also questions the concept of racism, as portrayed by Rose's family. The film's presentation of this theme encourages viewers to confront their own biases and complicity in the perpetuation of systemic racism. "Get Out" is both a thought-provoking social commentary and a masterful work of horror filmmaking that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Of its powerful message and ability to tap into our deepest fears and anxieties about race, it is a film that demands to be seen and discussed. I really enjoyed watching this movie and I liked the twists and suspenseful sequences. Overall one of my favorite movies I have seen this year so far.

Narrative

    The "Narrative" chapter in "Moving Pictures" discusses how storytelling is important in movies. It's been that way for a long time since people started painting on cave walls. The chapter talks about how stories usually have a main character who has to face some kind of problem or challenge, and then they figure out how to solve it. That's what makes the story exciting and keeps people watching. 

    The chapter also says that it's important to have characters that people can relate to and care about. That way, the audience gets more invested in the story and wants to see what happens next. Another thing the chapter talks about is how conflicts and obstacles can make a story more exciting. If there's nothing at stake, then the story can be pretty boring. The chapter also mentions that there are different ways to tell a story, like with flashbacks or by starting at the end and then going back in time. And because technology keeps getting better, filmmakers have more options for how to tell a story and make it look cool.

    Overall, the "Narrative" chapter is all about how important it is to tell a good story in a movie. If you want to make a movie that people will enjoy and remember, then you need to pay attention to things like characters, conflicts, and the way you tell the story.
