Get Out

Racist idiocy is taken to its ludicrous point of no return in Jordan Peele's terrifying Get Out, wherein which science-fiction theorizes immortality, and horror practically applies it.

Intergenerationally.

An African American is seduced by a Caucasian beauty, and after months of seemingly harmless courtship, is invited to her country home.

Little does he know that the logic underlying his initial misgivings is in fact fuelling her emotional duplicity.

Fundamentally speaking.

For what was formerly dismissed and despised by the reprehensible has been transformed into an object of veneration, or what was once loathed is now admired, even coveted in the corporeal sense.

He soon finds himself designated somnambulistic person of interest, over a cup of late evening tea, and left plunged deep below the subconscious surface.

Floating in limbo.

His closest friend immediately grasps his peril, employing relevant pop cultural analyses to comprehend, but can assist not, from his digs in the heart of the city.

As a result, only improvised ingenuity can psychologically save him, physically speaking, as the operating table is prepped, and shackles retain fear enraged.

Perfidy.

Misjudging friendship.

A mind-boggling manifestation of the Machiavellian macabre, Get Out succeeds where so many horror films fail.

Its absurd plot is rationally realized through a dramatic commitment that is neither forced nor exaggerated.

It doesn't rely on the supernatural and therefore resonates with harrowing plausibility.

More than a weekend was spent writing the script, and the resultant social commentary is less shocking, until the truth emerges.

And clues are presented and analyzed, deductive aids invoked, as the awkward sleuths eternal, confronting dismissive ridicule through haunting contemplation.

It's nice to see so much time and care put into the creation of thought provoking horror.

The social commentary isn't as ridiculous as it seems, in fact it's quite reasonable, mad jealousy taken to the extreme, the insane application of unscientific conjecture.

I always thought you see a lot of African Americans on professional sports teams because institutional racism keeps their communities poor, and when you're poor you have a lot more time to focus on sport, if you aren't working, and more drive to be the best, because you aren't growing up surrounded by luxurious distractions and potential opportunities.

That's the logical explanation anyways.

As upsetting as such a point remains.
