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.
