Get Out [Blu-ray]

Spoiler alert! And you DO NOT WANT spoilers before you see this FILM!!! So walk away now and watch it! ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* I loved this film because it was a great scary mystery thriller. The Black guy got center stage -- a first in many arenas. Daniel Kaluuya is magnificent in his role of reasonable, unsuspecting, turned worried boyfriend. I am overjoyed to see a film like this that addresses our continuing racial issues. Daniel's character Chris has our complete empathy throughout the film--which is why, in the end, we are so scared when the flashing lights of the cop car show up--we are afraid for him. We know what the headlines usually say---and we know it doesn't usually go well for the Black Person. However, may I just say this? The whole other creepy element, the Robin Cook "Coma" movie like stuff? That's not really about racism, that's just simple [grotesque] physical exploitation, and it did not read KKK to me. So I was left a little confused by this film. The first half of the story is clearly about our difficult social issues with black and white cultures and racism, but the other part of this film is more just the horror of some humans exploiting others, as we saw in "Coma". That alternate ending stuff? That broke my heart, because it rang too true to the daily news. I like the movie ending, where Chris rides away. How many times have you ever seen a movie where the black guy, abused and tortured, rides off into the proverbial sunset? Like never. Let's face it, often the black man is the villain in so many of our films. Time to start writing the endings we would like to see in REAL LIFE. Great film! Many questions raised, many options opened, much hope for a change. This film did not disappoint one bit, though it certainly didn't go as expected!

I was actually hesitant to see this movie, because I thought it was jumping on the back of the "Black Lives Matter" movement. I wouldn't go as far as to say that I'm pro or against it; I definitely believe racism is an ongoing issue. However, I have personally witnessed incidences that have been turned into a discriminatory issue when none had existed. A lot of the time, procedure is being adhered to and followed correctly, but things go wrong, and it doesn't mean that the person involved is being racist. So yeah, I'm not blind to racism, but I'm also going to be objective and not passionately throw myself into an unjust situation without completely understanding it. That being said, I loved this movie. There was subtext about racism, but it was not overt, nor was it presented unfairly. I actually appreciated the director's objective approach to it. I'm surprised people actually saw it differently, because I can get irritated if I'm preached to from an emotional standpoint. I'm a "just the facts" sort of person - but I also lived in NYC, near Harlem, and I've observed close friends being treated differently, so denying its existence completely is naive. Extreme viewpoints are an immediate turn off for me (no one is racist/everyone is racist), which was why I enjoyed this movie, because it presented its case almost entirely via the events and how they unfolded for the main protagonist. The racism was not entirely negative (well, the result is negative, but the process was not what I originally thought it would be). As far as people saying that it's predictable - no, it really isn't. I'm glad that the director acknowledged in his commentary that the world is getting better. I'm also relieved he didn't go with the alternate ending. Either way, this movie is worth watching. Every bit of backstory is revealed for a reason. This movie gives you a real story, with just enough humor to keep it light and enjoyable.

Beautiful cinematography, that is crisp and clear. Acting by all actors is very good, worthy of A-list standards. The make-up, sets, period wardrobe, and props are very good and well thought out, right down to every detail. A great story which has a proper ending that answers (most) questions. High quality (CG) effects. My personal thoughts about this movie: I was a little surprised at how well it was directed. The movie was hardcore, bloody, filled with some gore and carnage. The movie does give you room to think and contemplate…what if? Many areas of suspense. Great character development. The premise: A twisted spin on the late movie (Guess who is coming to Dinner-Sidney Poitier-1967). In this version, a white girl entraps black men and brings them home to a community cult that kidnaps, and performs brain transplants of a white individual into a black host, selected by community cult auctioning similar to slave trades back in the 1600s. Creepy with cult like tendencies. This movie does factually demonstrate latent racism as experienced by most if not (all) black people in society today, which is the creepiest fact of the entire movie in my opinion. I love the (positive) representation of (TSA) in this movie! Everything about TSA Officers is correct in this movie, so if you travel a lot, don’t be smarting off to TSA Officers at the airports, because they really are trained government investigators. Overall, a very strange and twisted movie that will entertain you, and leave you contemplating...what if? The Facts: 1. Running Time Approx. 1 hrs. 44 min. 2. Sound: DTS-5.1 3. Picture: Widescreen 4. There are (no) dry or boring areas in this movie. 5. A mixture of drama, horror and some action. 6. Demonstrates latent racism. 7. Cult like tendency. 8. Great Character development. 9. Great storyline that answers all questions and has a proper ending. Thank you, hope this helps!

MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!! MUST WATCH!!!!!!! MUST WATCH!!!!!!! VERY DEEP MOVIE!!!!! WATCH MORE THAN ONE TIME TO GET THE FULL SCOPE OF THE MESSAGES BEING CONVEYED!!!!!

This was a fantastically well-put-together film with excellent acting, especially by Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams and Lil Rel Howery and Catherine Keener and others. The story was well told, as was the story of black fear and mistrust of whites and the incessant and idiotic culture that whites have allowed to persist and thrive in this country. While the horror is of course diabolical and unrealistic (as horror is in film), it made the point well about how terrorizing and traumatizing and continually destructive and unfair much of the black experience is in the United States - it drove home the point fairly and helpfully about how controlling white culture must feel to many people of color, how unfeeling and inhuman it is at times, and how messed up and unstoppable it feels. I like how this movie makes us think and discuss. It's not a silly horror movie - it's a thoughtful horror/suspense/thriller with a clear challenge and provocation to its audience to look at society and talk honestly about the racism, ignorance, arrogance, and folly that continues to infect our thinking, identity, and relationships with one another across cultural identities. Thank you, Jordan Peele and everyone that made this film. You're pushing us all to be better human beings.

One of my favorite movies and go to's every since it first hit the theater.

Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and Rose (Allison Williams) are the perfect couple. They’re in love and ready for the next big step: meeting Rose’s parents for the weekend. Chris has nothing to worry about. He’s a successful photographer, lives in a beautiful loft in the city, and has an adorable pet dog. What parent wouldn’t love him? There’s a problem: he’s African American… on his way to meeting two middle-aged Caucasians. Rose isn’t worried. Her parents are new-age and progressive. They’re lame and embarrassing, but they’re not bad people. It’s all good! Something is off the moment Chris enters the Armitage’s country home though. Almost every word that comes out of Dean’s mouth (Bradley Whitford) has racist undertones, and his wife Missy (Catherine Keener) is preoccupied with Chris’s smoking habit. She suggests hypnotism — part of her psychological practice — but he declines. There’s a weekend party that Rose knew nothing about, and all the guests are old people who seem a little too fascinated with Chris. And of course, there are the cringy “I love Tiger Woods“ type of conversations. Then there’s the “help.” They’re all African American, all strange-looking, with an almost ethereal quality to them. Chris is uncomfortable, and that’s an understatement. He has every reason to feel uneasy. Something IS off at the Armitage house, and he’s about to find out just how bad it’s about to get for him. I want to give nothing away. If you haven’t seen this film, then you’re better off going in with no preconceived notions. All I can tell you is that this is one of the creepiest and most symbolic horror films I have seen in recent date! It’s the kind of horror that sneaks up on you as if from nowhere. It doesn’t contain gore, random jump-scares, or other tried-and-true horror tropes (OK, there are some tropes, but only the good ones). It triggers you to the core, making you squirm with all the built-up tension. To be honest, this is more of a Psychological Thriller than a full-on horror, and it’ll resonate to those who loved THE SHINING, THE STEPFORD WIVES or THE SIXTH SENSE. The acting is spot on, the tension almost tangible. So much symbolism and plot subliminals. This is a “thinker’s thriller,” one that would make you want to watch repeatedly. I love Jordan Peele. I’m a huge fan since his MAD TV days. He and Keegan are so talented, but I always had a softness for Peele. While Keegan-Michael Key is the bigger “showman” of the two, Jordan Peele is the more creative one. He’s so versatile! He seems to enjoy thought-provoking material, and I can’t wait to watch his other movies. US is on my to-watch list. Now that I’m visiting family and friends during the holidays, I can kick back and watch stuff out of enjoyment, and not just as work. I can sit back, visit people, wear my “guest room clothes,” most of which is too big on me now (woo-hoo!), and enjoy binge-watching the way it should be! Downsides? I wanted more light comic moments from Chris’s best friend, Rod (Lil Rel Howery). Such an awesome character! Five super-delicious Minty-Sweet Mocha lattes!

Get Out is a 2017 suspense-thriller with a little bit of horror movie mixed in that was written and directed by Jordan Peele (in his directorial debut). It stars Daniel Kaluuya as Chris Washington, a photographer from New York who is in an interracial relationship with Allison William's character, Rose Armitage. Rose convinces Chris to travel to upstate NY to meet her parents, played by Bradley Whitford and Catherine Kenner. While surrounded by many wealthy white people, Chris notices the strange behavior of the handful of black people in town, which becomes more and more bizarre. Chris suspects something strange is going on and enlists the help of his best friend, Rod, played by Lil Rel Howery, to figure out the possible conspiracy. The A/V quality of the blu-ray is very good. Although there is not a ton of CGI in the movie, what is there looks seamless with the practical sets, and the cinematography looks wonderful. The bonus features include a very good commentary track on the movie by Peele, who offers a lot of insight into the process of making the movie. Then there are 23 minutes of deleted and extended scenes, an alternate ending, a nine-minute making-of featurette, and a four-minute Q&A session with Peele. Overall, the movie is very good and very original. It definitely borrows from some horror movie themes, but it is not derivative of anything else that has been made lately. Basically, it is a horror movie in which racism and oppression are the monster. It is well-written and very well-acted and is definitely worth checking out.

Excellent film... On passe un bon moment, jusqu'à la fin.

Muy contento con esta compra. Llegó con slipcover, cosa que es moneda al aire si llega con él o no. Audios y subtítulos en español, sirve el Blu-ray y DVD, pues la copia digital no es válida en México. Y en general una buena adición a mi colección!

Parfaitement Parfait ! Perfecto Perfect :)

Darkly humorous, disturbing, brilliantly acted, scripted and directed. Enjoyable, tense, thought-provoking. Reminds me a little of a film from the 70s called "Nothing but the Night" which, whilst it had a great cast (Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Diana Dors, Keith Barron, Fulton McKay and a very young Gwyneth Strong, playing a lead role with astonishing maturity) was maybe not as slick as this ( but I guess the main differences being 40 years and about 40 million dollars - quote/unquote). Get Out is an excellent, witty and original take on humanity's ubiquitous search for immortality an the horrific lengths some might be persuaded to go to to find it., Makes you ask yourself a few questions too. Brilliant stuff.
