The film is about Chris, a black man who visits the family of his white girlfriend, Rose, for the weekend. From the moment he gets there things already seem to be bizarre. As the movie progresses, abnormalities increase. But even taking this into consideration, the actions of Chris are realistic. He makes common sense decisions that anyone would make if placed in his position. The film is clearly written with idea that if in a life or death situation, humans’ first instinct is survival and tackles issues of race and guilt. It includes elements of comedy as well. The character of Rod, a TSA officer and Chris’ friend, becomes the comic relief and ultimately the hero of the film.
After a successful first week at the box office, Get Out seems to be the movie that everyone wants to go see. If you want to be filled with suspense, a little scared, and laugh at a few jokes this is the movie to see.
