AAA Movie Review: Get Out (2017), American Horror but Also Comedy Movie

"Get Out" was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in the United States in 2017. This black comedy, which is a clever combination of racial issues and horror elements, has caused the revelry of foreign media and a large wave of domestic movie. Because I am a person who is extremely mindful of spoilers, I have been restrained not to read any part of the commentary related to the plot before watching the movie. So what interests me more is the "reverse" attribute of the film.

In terms of production costs, the investment of 5 million U.S. dollars is very small money, compared to the production of hundreds of millions of Hollywood movies. In order to save money, the crew also change the shooting location that was originally scheduled to be in Los Angeles, and replace it to Alabama with the more favorable tax policy. Judging from the actors, there is no big super stars in this movie. Daniel Kaluuya's famous work is the slutty youth drama "Skins", which he played in a particularly small role and served as a screenwriter for several episodes. After that, he also joined in various dramas and movies. The most famous role is estimated to be the black brother in the first season of "Black Mirror" in order to listen to the song and kick the big brother off.

And the heroine who seems to be like Jennifer Connelly is Allison Williams, who starred in the HBO young version of the "Sex and the City" drama "Girls", is a TV star, but there is also no famous film work that she joined. No matter how you look at it, this film is not quite like any chance of winning. However, after the release of "Get Out", not only did it succeed in counterattack with small cost, but it also got a box office of US$170 million in the United States, and its reputation was also good. The freshness of rotten tomatoes once reached 100%, even today. With 99% freshness, such a large contrast and such eye-catching transcripts, many domestic audiences are full of curiosity and expectation for this film. However they have no choice of channels in China, so they have to wait.

Although the white people in the film sneered at Hitler’s white supreme racism and praised the physical advantages of black people, they actually regarded them as inferior groups in their hearts, even because of the perfect “shell” of black people. The most fascinating part of the film is the use of a lot of detail, in a relaxed tone, just right to portray and satirize this mutated racial discrimination. Of course, it is precisely because of the theme that the focus is clearly related to the ethnic characteristics of the United States, so that the film has a certain threshold for non-US audience.However, the film's degree of attention to various details is really worth watching.
