Get Out (2017)

Dis slowly creeping to the top as one of my fave indie horror experiences since It Follows (2014). It's witty, it's funny and despite being a comical horror movie it's eerier than most contemprorary horror films. Liberal racism meets Stepford Wives.

The only objection is the conclusion which I find sort of tears down the very foundation of the premise and undermines the political aspect of the film. It also pleads guilty to the one unforgivable sin of horror movies - it overexplains when no further explanation is necesserily needed. Still, this film is already iconic and I predict a cult following.

Is that serious?

I avoided this movie because I don't like being subected to patronizing political shit.

Is it really that interesting ?

Would you say the same about say "Dead Man Walking"?

Yes it's intresting.. unless you're a self-proclaimed liberal and figured that makes you untouchable

Haven't seen dmw.

I wouldn't classify myself on the political spectrum, but I just assumed this movie had a simplistic message about racism and it can be annoying to watch.

It's a pretty fresh angle on racism in the sense that it needed to be put out there - every once in a while comes a movie that makes you wonder "howcome no one did this before"? It comes from someplace genuine which is rare: A lot of well-intended, humanitarian Oscar-winners have failed at that. But now I've overhyped it.

Bottom line it conveys the messege with a sense of humor and not with a sledge hammer.. and that aside, it's actually a horror movie and that in mind is all you need to bring with you when you go see it.

how come you are sometimes so smart, and see the essence, and then make these ridiculous threads? i get it was trolling. or i didn't get. i'm seriously confused. don't have to explain me, and i doubt you would but... anyway... get out is awesome.

If you think I'm so damn smart and 'see the essence', usually.. you don't think that maybe, just maybe, there could be some validity to what I'm saying or trying to get across even when you don't think you agree..semantically?

Was nikki trolling too then or did I dream that? She basically said the same thing in her own words, as did a few other (female) members..
