This week’s Netflix and Chill fav is Get Out. Get Out is one of those movies that instantly has you examining every aspect of what you know to be reality with a magnifying glass. It has you scrutinizing every gesture, every cue, every involuntary movement of yourself and every person around you in pursuit of any hint of ‘truth.’ Heck, it has you questioning what that even is anymore.
Get Out is a movie about main characters Chris (played by Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend, Rose (played by Allison Williams), an interracial couple, who have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating. Chris accompanies Allison for a weekend getaway upstate with Allison’s parents, Missy and Dean. After observing the family’s overly accommodating behavior Chis misreads it as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship. However, as a series of increasingly disturbing events unfold Chris discovers that a lot more is going on than meets the eye.
Get Out is creatively ingenius and superbly written. The plot is disturbingly relatable and in many ways quite reflective of what you may unknowingly ponder in the recesses of your mind.
Get Out goes well beyond the superficial thoughts and digs deep into the subconcious to challenge truth, intentions and deeply woven desires that in many ways craft the collective consciousness of today’s modern world. It’s surpasses what is playing out on the screen and forces viewers to look in the mirror with more than just their physical eyes.
Ultimately, Get Out is definitely one for the all time favorite collection. The plot construction of Get Out is brilliantly thought-provoking. With a story line that’s more real than what you know to be fact, it somehow has you questioning every aspect of your existence. By the time the credits roll you’ll even question whether the thoughts that you have are even your own. Is what you know actually the product of your experiences? Is what you see really what you see? In the event that none of this is real, how do you get out?
