Welcome to this Wisecrack Edition on The Philosophy of Get Out. There are few films as clever in their depiction of racial tensions in America as Jordan Peele’s social thriller Get Out. While most movies that focus on race take aim at those who overtly try to disenfranchise minorities, Get Out does something unique: it explores how the demeanor of white liberals who have supposedly “moved beyond racism” may not be as authentic as they may think. By drawing on black thinkers and philosophers, we explore how Get Out is a masterful depiction of the black condition in 20th Century America.

“I would’ve voted Obama for a third term” is the new “some of my best friends are black”
Especially since Obama was a terrible people that killed millions of people around the world…
To me, this movie shows that as little as someones problems are as Jordan Peele, he will still write about them because its all he knows....HIS problems are most important and should be center stage. And he deals with liberal white ppl all day.
Its just sad.
@@comradesky5931 yet and still it was his way of tryin to convince chris hes friendly towards black ppl
.hmm
Obama did nothing for blacks. Trump has been way better. Lowest black unemployment in history.
I voted for Obama once. Once was enough.
This is why diversity needs to be normalized. Not glorified or vilified. Just normal.
DaiSei The 24th , I'm glad to say I grew up in an environment where diversity IS (for the most part ) normalised heck I don't think I've ever met people like the ones in the movie so I guess you could say it's happening already ?! At least we're I live
libby Williams it helps if you live in a diverse environment, because you get exposed to different people in person. Otherwise, you would have to resort to partial ideas, which are prone to exotificatiion.
I'm glad that i have met empathetic people from every race.
DaiSei The 24th , yeh your right , man I haven't met anybody with such a smart world view in the comment section for a LONG time , you really made my day 😊
libby Williams I could say the same to you, sir. You continue to be awesome.
So long as we have to check which race we are on a job application. It will be never normalized.
"It's not about respecting humans, it's about collecting them." That gave me chills.
Read Revelation 16:13,14
So under these circumstances Pokemon could be a commentary on race?
Google seal of approval
@@joeyisatlas7123 not rely, if people actually bothered to pay attention to pokemon lore they'd see that's it's mostly a codependency between people and pokemon. I mean medical care is virtually free, people can literally 3d print food and poaching is rather rare since most pokemon are tough as shit or poachers are so damn incompetent that even a 12 year old with a pikachu can kick their asses.
It made me laugh.
That scene at 4:04... just realized the people at the party weren't looking at his clothes... they were inspecting how well the transformation went.
I did to! This is one of those movies where you have to rewatch it and things become like 10x more fucked up.
Henry Burby
Makes you think... is he really an asian man or just have the body of one?
VZA u eat poop
the COAGULA procedure went well, there is a chinese version coming up - chinese family do it to a tibetean guy? robotic chinese +meditative tibetean=modern avatar?
I think this is a reflection of black exceptionalism. How if your a "upstanding black man" who can assimilate into white culture it comes across as "fascinating" and "inspiring" to some who are white.
Sarah didn't want Chris to give the cop his ID because that would put him in the system (he's in the area) if a missing person report is filed.
i didn't even consider or think about this, great observation! for me it was just a typical, not-so-important scene to show that she plays the socially aware, protective girlfriend while he just tries to stay out of trouble
This happened to my dad. I got into a 5 car accident-being a car who was hit from behind thus shoved into the car in front of me while being stopped at a light. My dad came to the scene to help me because I called him, and the police wanted his ID and social security number. He wasn't even a passenger in the wreck! I couldn't believe it, but my dad just calmly gave the police all of his information. Black men know what's up. I just thought, "The police must have instructions to get as much information as possible from any Black men they see so they can compile it into their files-and identify them as criminals later." IDK
Sarah or Rose?
Rose I think
yeah all police are racist black and latino ones too nothing to do with ridiculously high crime rates among poor blacks must be racism
legit the last scene when the cop car was probably the most scary part of the movie
Easily one of the most terrifying parts. Another scary part was when she used a colonial symbol of power, her tea in her “good China” as a tool to make him relive his most traumatic experience in a way that put him completely at her mercy. Despite being intelligent, on his guard and more physically dangerous, a single colonial tool tossed him in a cage
yeah unfortunately thats the harsh reality black ppl face in america. but we all sighed in relief when it was just his friend that pulled up
Lmao. Give me a break
That's the brilliance of Peele's social thrillers. He can evoke _dread_ rather than just _fear_ . If anybody's got suggestions to similar directors/producers pls let me know
Yeah right
if u aren’t racist, you shouldn’t have to prove that you aren’t racist
Well it's the person who is accusing someone else of being racist that should prove he/she is racist.
Proving someone is a racist should be factual. Instead, nowadays the discussion revolves around a frame of mind. Nobody should care how anyone thinks unless it's about a marriage or close relationship - maybe not even then. Policing thoughts is scarier than any "ism", possibly the worst ism of all.
@@alexandragamingronyno2275 Yeah its borderline Big Brother from the 1984 novel
PURRRRR
I find that the vast majority of people are not racist , but there is a significant percentage of people that are AFRAID of black people. Whether or not the fear is justified the effect is the same, black people get treated as an “other”. However when there is no perceived threat, most people treat black people the same as any other race. I can’t imagine a normal white woman crossing the street to get away from a black cop or a black man in a business suit. That’s just my observation, and I don’t know everything.
"I'm not racist, I love black people! Some of my best friends are black!"
Nice

Hey Wisecrack I just watched Get Out and
I just realized something amazing about the blind man. He basically is a representation of the concept of color blindness that is popular among white liberals. He is blind to the fact that Andre is black, he doesn't see color and views himself as better than the others because of this. He even goes on about how ignorant the other party guests are about Andre's blackness. And he at first seems to treat Andre as just a person rather than a black stereotype.
However, when it is revealed that the blind man is going to be using Andre's body it is shocking cause he seemed legit. And he says that he isn't racist at all and doesn't care about Andre being black. He doesn't fully consider why only black people are being used like this and completely ignores any historical or socio-cultural context of the treatment of blacks. He uses his blindness as a convenient way of ignoring something that is definitely a race issue. (humans rights issue too)
There in lies the problem with colorblindness, in saying you are blind to color you effectively ignore racism and racial bias. It is a way of not dealing with another culture, by just putting the label of "just people" on it and to simply ignore distinct elements of another's person. It assumes that we live in a post-race society and that race doesn't matter anymore. This allows people to turn a blind eye to things that while not KKK skinhead racist but the more covert racially biased problems that still plague modern society.
Shawn Ray The character's name is Chris, not Andre. Also, I saw that too.
Omg I never realised that! You’re so right
Amazing conclusion. Kudos man.
When I say I'm blind to color, I DON'T automatically ignore racism or racial bias. There is no logic proof for this argument. Another culture? Color is not culture.
The thing is: if you stop reflecting yourself and what you changed to be not racist is enough you are often wrong with that assumption and think enough has been done.
Was it that what you meant?
@@yogitard2243 Maybe not you specifically, but claiming to be colorblind ignores the fact racism works on a subconscious level too. You may not want to be racist, but just might not be familiar enough with the psychological or sociological intricacies of the phenomenon. It´s like saying "all lives matter" - a truism ignoring the specific point of "black lives matter" - people of color are being marginalized to the point, where their lives do not matter (as much/at all). What seems intuitively adequate might not live up to the societal complexities of human interaction. "Culture" has become synonymous for "race" in right wing circles to seem less conspicuous, when stating their talking points.
Man that ending though I was so fucked up thinking he was about to get shot by police. Great movie and video
I was freaking out on that scene! But TS-motherfuckin-A handled it.
Dacbatex47 That's one of the more interesting parts of the social commentary actually. It's so ingrained in our minds that once we see the police car, the universal prediction is that he's going to get arrested, Peele used our own perception of real life against us and I love it XD
The original ending is him getting arrested for all the deaths. Can't explain to the cops that you were under hypnosis and they were puppeteering black bodies. Shows that the black man will always lose in the end.
irukaio Either way both are scary lol
I think it would have been better if he would have died in the end by cops. I really like the movie Night of the Living Dead, because it has a bad ending, if Get Out had a similar ending it would have been better in my opinion. A bad ending would have us talking about it and have us thinking.
Everyone needs a Rod in their life.
This was the insight I gained from this film.

A weird fat funny black guy? Nah
He's like the non-rat version of Big Smoke.

Decayed Knight 19 no a brother who always watches out for you
As a Black person yall did this video justice
Get to the kitchen!
The good news has once again come to you today. You can inherit the kingdom of God even if you are a sinner.. after all we are all sinners in God's standards of justice and holyness (he says that if a man looks at a woman with lust he has already committed adulterly with her in his heart NO MAN IS THAT PURE😅).....All you have to do is to honestly humbly pray repent turn away from sins (read the10 commandments) and trust that Jesus for his love❤❤ for you he left his throne in heaven and came to the world he was humbled humiliated betrayed beaten and killed for your sake to pay the fine of your sins and mine so that we won't spend our eternity in hell but with him in heaven...this might be the last time you read the gospel...Look around🔥🔥 be smart..the end is nigh🔥 ..He is coming back soooon not as the sacrificed lamb of God🐑..but as King of Kings🤴 the judge of the whole world..Your soul is on the line😭😭. Eternity is a long time
@@wailer27 what??
@@wailer27 eat shit bud
I hate when folks try to be overly nice and then get mad when you just want to be treated like everyone else. It's like you can't win either way
womp womp 👏👏That fuckin part
womp womp u can't, that's the problem with today's society
womp womp yeszs
black and white fallacy.
you can always just neither be overly nice nor overly mean. how about be normal.
I agree but sometimes
People are sometimes raised by there parents to be racist, and then when they try there best not to be, they end up being overly nice
i loved how Chris constantly outsmarted them all the while the entire movie kept talking about Chris' physical aspects not taking into consideration hes actually really smart
Jodie in 'Daria' really exemplifies this so well, she has a line about why she can't be 'antisocial' like Daria because she is the only black representation in the area and has the pressure to be seen as 'The Queen of the Negros". It was actually really woke and a normalisation of their experience as human beings rather than tropes. Especially for the 90s.
Especially that scene where she is irritated at being prom queen and she knows it’s cause she’s the token black, and then she sees the black little girl waving at her from the crowd and feels it’s her duty to play the part to inspire her, even if it’s not genuine.
Daria is honestly so underrated! They touched many important topics, it's sad to see people dismiss simply because it's a "cartoon"
I remember seeing that episode back then, and very recently saw it and had one of those "ohhhh" moments when her line hit me.
I love that episode
This was a brilliant film that made me cringe every five minutes. I have heard each and every one of the patronizing comments at least 20 times in conversations at parties.
Get to the kitchen, love
how was it brilliant? can you please explain?
@@nictimus24 if you gotta ask, you'll never know
@@freebreadfriday That's a terrible mindset
@@nictimus24 are you mentally challenged?
I feel weird having a white guy perfectly describe the black experience. Thank you.
fifthstr lol yes it's weird but proof that the other 80% are deflecting when they claim to not understand
Whites understand white racism .they ACT like they dont because they want to keep white racism going.
@@drakesims1579 I don't understand white racism. How am I supposed to understand something that has no logic? Where did you get that idea?
so you are the racist here... okay
Drake racism is made up its all bull shit a way to divide people put them into boxes I love the fact people say I'm racist and a part of it well hate to admit it if you believe in racism then your more of a easy target to manipulate we need them bro got to sacrifice some to save the many
Chris's girlfriend didn't make a scene with the police officer because he was black.
She did it because she didn't want the cop seeing his I.D.
Jack Timothy you missed the point. shes white so if she causes a scene there arent likely to be dangerous or deadly consequences. however chris is black so he avoids conflict with the officer because he doesnt want to end up like the hundreds of innocent black men killed by officers for petty reasons or no reason at all.
Mickey Wynn OR maybe he just wanted to show him his ID because he had nothing to hide and didnt want to stay there all day.
+Jack Timothy-That is an excellent observation actually. She wasn't doing it because of the injustice and outright bigotry society has for her boyfriend. . . She did it because she didn't want to leave a trail that Chris was in the area in the first place. It was. . .inconvenient for her, to say the least, to have the police realize Chris was there in the first place when after this weekend, he was going to "mysteriously" disappear. And she probably was smart enough to realize that Rod would've instantly realized something was wrong when Chris never came back after the weekend and tried to get the police involved. The less "paper trail" that was involved with getting Chris over to her family's house in the weekend, the better the process would be for her family over the weekend. ..
It's a very smart manipulation tactic that Rose probably used on Walter and Georgina. Much like Chris, they might have been loners that had very few close friends and had a hard time opening up to people-a fact Rose deliberately played up to isolate them further, squeeze them out of contact from others and making them believe she was their only friend they could rely on. Unlike Rose's brother, who kidnapped black people off the street, Rose was smarter to know she had to be more careful over how she led her "catch" to the house. Instead of a big stick, basically, Rose used "bread and butter" tactics to lead others to her house. . .and to her, not only was her method much less violent, but it also didn't damage the bodies as much as what her brother was doing.
Mickey Wynn no, that point is just the surface, he's referring to the fact that if he shows his id, it'll be easier to find his whereabouts in a missing persons case.
@Gucci Anton Obvious troll is obvious.
Sarah didn’t stand up for Chris to the cop she was covering her own ass. She didn’t want a paper trail so no one missed him if he went missing.
Her name was Rose. Where did you get Sarah from?
Zoey Wickliff lol not sure I made this comment a year ago 😣 I just realized I put the wrong name haha.
That’s a good point.
Her names Rose 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How do you know the cop was not in on the act? considering everyone else in the town is.
After recently rewatching the film, I'm surprised that you didn't mention what Dean said about wanting to get rid of all deer.
The sunken place convo is actually extremely interesting and relevant. Because not only do we have to view ourselves through someone else eyes, we have to basically dumb down and give the straining and false and polite (survivable, quiet, agreeable even when we want to disagree, ) versions of ourselves to 'pass' the test. It really has to do with survivability. I have always had two versions of of how I talk and interact. Both are fun and friendly and a part of myself but it the one referenced here usually comes out when I'm uncomfortable. It's calculated, stressful, and sometimes hurtful. But also imagine if you lose opportunities and trust from people by not being that way. By being yourself and referencing your culture in everyday things ( how you talk, how you look) It feels like that. I've often found that one is for protection and surviving in this kind of society. So it's interesting to see that reflected in this. Not a new philosophy though. Just something we've been living. Insightful into Get Out. Makes me want to see it even more.
100% with you about that duality and survivability; your lived experience takes precedence here. The imagery used for the Sunken Place reminded me of personal experiences of disassociation.
Adrian Miles Yes! Agreed, I thought so as well. I mean a big part of this sort of situation is that I and many other people do dissociate to deal with parts of this. I mean, it may be me and mental illness but.... But yesss totally agreed.

That just sounds like the normal human experience. Everyone wears different masks in different settings. A big part of adolescence is learning about what you are when those masks are down. I think it's a consequence of biology and not really anything that could ever be eliminated. It's practically a reflex to reflect the people we're around at the moment to some degree.
Dustin Rodriguez it's not remotely biology to have to dampen who you are because of race... both emotionally and practically almost physically. Based on understanding that depending on how my 'blackness' (culture, vernacular, skin color, regardless of my academic career, myths on black skin and bodies) is perceived, it'll determine how I'm treated. Has nothing to do with biology and thats definitely a skip in logic. I mean a really gross one to skip over my and millions of other people's experience to be like 'nope, you don't know what you're talking about.. we're all feeling it' ( the subtext is always that we think we're special and it's like... none of this is good? None of this is healthy? It's literally having to worry that my identity will cause me to go through loops and bounds that other non black people don't actually deal with? That's not a human experience.!The only human factor of this at all is that we experience life differently all together. No one is saying that through being black, that's the only way you go through life having to mask who you truly are. Two different conversations
3:13 Negrophilia. That's a new one. I think I've had a couple of Negrophilia moments: One day, not so long ago, I was at the bus stop and an old white man passed by me - oh by the I'm black - anyway, he saw me, smiled and gave me a fist bump. Now I had no problem with this, it was clearly an act of kindness and I thought it was pretty funny. I just couldn't figure out why he used a fist bump to say "hello".
Deka Red or "what up, my brother from another mother" like any black person says that genuinely hah
gandalf thegilf, I've only known white, 45 year old, rec basketball coaches that say that haha
It's weird; after thinking about it, I actually have quite a few friends who are Negrophilliacs(?). For example, I feel like they go out of their way to defend somewhat questionable acts committed by African Americans or say how shitty white people are just to show how not racist they are. It's funny though, in my mind, you shouldn't have to act like that to show how non racist you are. If anything I feel like it comes off as guilty. Just treat every human being the same.
Humans are weird.
Ayylmao I wouldn’t say that white people that express what is defined as negrophilia are being put to blame, like you’re suggesting. Blame leads us nowhere, and instead of victimizing yourself, you should consider that, sometimes, even the best of intentions (which no one is questioning) may lead to bad consequences if we over-simplify our view of the world. I’d say that awareness is the key to take a good intention and make the best out of it. So now that you’re aware that negrophilia exists and may cause black people to feel more rejected than the opposite, you should rethink your behavior and keep up the good intention.
KingZulu1231 why Not? I cannot stand the mindset of most black people in my school, because they act Like Shit and think it is okey because mrdia told them, they are opressed never the less... They try to find racisim in daily Things, that for white people are Just normal an No one would even think about racisim....
But despite all this, i enjoy HipHop african food etc. Because Just because people can act Like shit doesnt make their culture shitty...
as a hispanic woman, my favorite microaggression is the ethnic fetishism. "it's hot when you speak spanish", "call me papi in that accent".
yeah if we could stop treating poc as tools for sexual exploration, that'd be great.
Or being referred to some kind of food or animal
I'm from Jamaica and people treat me(whenever I speak to a foreigner)like I'm some piece of exotic fruit😂
Giggle Box Both my parents are from Spain but I was raised in México, when I lived in Denmark everyone called me exotic hahaha, dude back home everyone called me whitie, it’s a matter of perspective.
"I had it when people appreciate me for my differences" Stop whining
Prometheus it’s not appreciating you for your differences, it’s fetishizing those differences. It’s never “ oh it’s pretty cool you have an accent” it’s “ oh that accent is so sexy”. We as Americans do that to people from England, Australia, New Zealand just because they speak like us but with a slight twist.
Feeling awkward in a predominantly white space, been there several times before.

@Kvothe Windrunner You white people give off those vibes that makes the body cringe, even though we cannot read your thoughts we can feel your energy hence we feel akward in your presence.
@@mendumbilase1508 Fun fact; I too feel uncomfortable when I go far out of my comfort zone. This isn't about "race" ( Americans really need to stop being so obsessed with that ), its about culture and familiarity among other things.
@@Arcaryon Well you both can argue all you like its nothing hard to understand why we blacks feel that way among you.
We have Asians and Latinos, its only among them that alwardness due to difference occurs. Among whites we have a history and a presence that validifies that feeling. If it was just mere ignorance I don't thing Black Lives Matter would have existed.
My heart dropped at the end of the movie when the police car showed up. I was like damn he did all this to escape and now he's about to go to jail. The icing of the cake for me was when she started screaming for help. I actually felt fear for him.
Please don't take the next part as racist or sexist but there is nothing scarier than being put in a situation where a woman is screaming bloody murder. Especially a white woman. The fact that Chris was practically fighting for his life before the police car showed up would've been forgotten. Because the police would've saw a white woman being overwhelmed by a black man. This movie was so impactful and I walked out the movie theater scared, looking at my surroundings being weary of white people. I was paranoid but the fear that the movie instills in a black person is real.
Just to clarify, the movie made me paranoid when I finished watching it. Not in anyway saying that white people are all like that.
Hey no need to try to feel "not racist". What you said is a real issue, and if white people have a problem with it, well then its cuz rhey don't wanna accept its true. (Im white myself btw)
My first thought after the film was, 'there's no way that was the original ending'. It seemed SO much like he was going to go to prison.
Actually, I watched a video that said that yes, that was actually the original ending, that he went to jail/got shot, but it was changed to a brighter one because of the black person shootings and arrests going on at the time. Either they were afraid the movie's ending would be too controversial or they wanted to give the audience a little hope or both... or something.
I think the ending was good in the movie. because everybody thougtht the same: oh shiiit he ist goin to jail.......and then his friend showed up.... so the first thougth was oh shit he can`t do nothing about the Police state system as a black man. Why everybody was feeling like this?. because it is reality. And the End reveales that.........bazuuuum @@nkbujvytcygvujno6006
Oh no. I thought the same thing. My friends and I went to the movies to see this when it came out. There was a good amount of all kinds of people in the theater, Black,White, Latino, etc. when it came to the ending, everyone was silent and holding our breaths when the police car pulled up. But we all saw it was Rod, everyone literally clapped in cheered in relief.
We all felt that fear for him and Get Out has been one my favorite movie experiences ever because of this. Everyone was so into it and was wondering how the plot would resolve. And for Chris to actually get away and not get arrested like the reality of the social/racial issues in the U.S. now that we as a society are strangely used to, is a relief for a happy ending at least in the movie world.
it's not jordan peele who's obsessed with race and "blackness", it's everybody else
True
Yup, he even makes several stabs at the myth that black men act more suburban when they are in interracial relationships, but parts of their personality show through when a light is shown on it. Or a flash of light in this instance.
Well you don't see "everybody else" making cringey race-baiting movies, do you?
+YGC. Komrade drops mic
YGC. Komrade you can't even tell what's race baiting about it.
Guys I just discovered a hell of a provision: A little after the beginning when rod is on the phone with rose, he tells her joking: Hey Rose, you know that you picked the wrong guy, right?. This phrase is a omen for what's
coming next.
"Negrophilia" I've never heard of this before.
When I first watched the trailer I thought oh no, whites everywhere are going to be pissed. And they were for a second. And then that 100% rotten tomatoes score came out. And more white people said "it was because it was about black people and no one wanted to be called racist so they all gave good scores" I finally went to go see it. I'm so so glad I did. This is a fantastic film. I've never seen anything like it.
that's racist
Define racist.^ I thought the exact same thing. People were very pissed about "Dear White People" even though I've finally seen it and not at all racist.
I'm glad you chose to see the movie for yourself b4 judging it.
Artliker1234 This film, and other media like it makes feel like a shit bag for stuff I have no control over. I'm a white German guy that seems to oppres others without by virtue of my existence. I don't know anymore.
Viared I'm sorry you feel that way but it just sounds like you're choosing to be a victim and guilty when you know there's no reason to be. Which I've noticed a lot of people enjoy doing. The movie doesn't attack white people at all, it plays on reality. This really is how western society is set up. It's just fact
Man, this is insane. As a person who was born and grew up in an African country where everyone was 'black', the two-ness Dubois describes is completely foreign to me, yet I see that the internal struggles 'black' people who grew up or live in predominantly 'white' nations is real. Sometimes I wish I can just set free the imprisoned mind of my racial brethren from the sunken plan but the reality is just so deep.
There is a simple solution: If black people are so oppressed in white societies that they literally have a fracturing of perception/consciousness, then they should go live in predominantly black societies where this won't happen.
adam how pathetic are you. dont even have the word to desccribe you right jow
Adam Johnson “That’s segregation” telling people to go away and leave to predominately black areas
Brianna Bombshell So?
Or... I'm not being racist at all because I'd be dismissive of anyone who had a problem they could easily solve and they constantly complain about something for which there is an easy solution. All of the black people who don't mind living among white people can stay. All of the black people who feel completely alienated and oppressed by white people where no legal racism exists should move to a non-white society. Because whether we are nice to you or mean to you, it's all about racism.
Likewise, a white person who does not want to live among black people could probably solve his problems by separating himself from black people. Self-segregation is desirable and happens as a result of personal freedom. Nothing wrong with that. What is stupid is to hold up integration like it's some undisputed virtue that must be attained at the expense of people's happiness.
So, I say again: if white people are so awful, go live in a predominantly black society.
I'm a white male with a black woman, and we have a kid together.
We've had discussions along the lines of some themes of the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but she did.
She asked me if I was with her because I would have a thing for black women. I said no, I love her as a whole. She could look different, if her mind stayed the same, it'd be all the same. As long as she'd be a woman, though, lol.
So she also told me what was nice about me is that I wasn't pretending to like black people by being "that white fanboy" that tries to be all cliché, speaking ghetto, dressing rapper style, listening only to hip hop and other black styles or being ridiculously offended on behalf of "my black Bros and sis" every time the word "black" is said, playing the apologetic white hero douche. I just never thought like that.
If I like a rap song, maybe it's because it is indeed good (Kendrick Lamar, he's amazing) ? Shouldn't be it ok I wasn't amazed by black panther just because I found it generic as a superhero movie that was decent, but not the super masterpiece ? Don't you think a black guy singing in a metal band is just because he likes it and doesn't try to be liked by whites ?
I'm going to teach my baby girl to be an outstanding human, and take no crap from anyone based on her origins.
Never be reduced by others to your origin or colour. Even in a positive way. We humans are all more than what we perceive from each other.
My brother in law is a tall beefy black guy, and he likes anime and some french white folk music. Does he care not fitting the "black tough male" archetype ? Of course not ! Who cares ?

When Chris,his girlfriend and her family was outside drinking tea, Georgina accidentally waste some tea. Missy Armitage seem to be annoyed by this. Georgina is really Marianne Armitage , Missy's mother-in-law. This interaction could represent the tension that many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have for one another.
J Jones could be. I believe it’s because the mother and the woman whose body is being occupied are not on the same wavelength. The scene where Chris and Georgina are in the bedroom and he tells her he gets nervous when there’s a lot of white people around and Georgina’s chilling “no, no, no” while crying is the black woman getting so close to getting out of the sunken place. Everyone else needed to “see the light” ( in the form of the camera flash) to get out, but she , the “strong black woman” almost made out without any help. At the end of the movie, when Chris is escaping the house, he sees Georgina. I believe the black woman wants Chris to help her and take her with him. As soon as she gets in the car and Chris makes a remark, she grabs the wheel like she doesn’t want Chris to take her away from the house. There is an internal battle going on here between the grandmother and the woman’s body she’s occupying. Georgina is fighting!!
Why didn't he mention the song in the beginning by Childish Gambino "'Redbone"' in which he's singing to ''stay woke''
Honestly, there are so many parts of this movie to dissect, people may need to make hour long discussion videos
The hidden message is trying to wake black people up from Democratic enslavement of the mind.

wow. i remember introducing my best friend to my mom. my mom was struggling because she never had met a black woman before but, thank god my mom managed to not embarrass herself or to make my friend uncomfortable. i, on the other hand, was sitting on edge the whole time thinking "mom, pleasepleaseplease dont say this and that!"
The breakdown of this movie was insane. I have no words besides “wow”.
It was a good movie but its that type of movie, that stays in the back of your mind.

Rose preventing the cop from seeing Chris's ID probably served an additional purpose: To make it harder for the law to build a missing person case.
In the scene where Rose gets pulled over, she's not wanting to cause a scene, or even defend Chris. What she's actually doing is making sure that his license doesn't get documented, which, if it does, would give away the fact that they were heading out of town. Rose was just trying to cover her tracks.
That was the first time for me to watch one of your videos but I have one thing to say. Pls keep it up brother, do your thing. The way you broke down how we black folks feel in a rather white dominated society almost felt like you are black. I almost had to cry when I watched this video. Thank you man, I don't think that white people will understand after watching this but it is good to know that at least one knows. Thank you, God bless you!
you dont have to be black to analyze a movie
@Madam Meouff Real comrades have anime pfp
I think it also shows that white people know exactly what they’re doing and I don’t like to pretend like they don’t understand
The only thing whiter than people playing hacky sack is buying that blue apron food lol

I'm black and my family been on blue apron for a couple weeks now it's healthier and easier tbh
I do plan to try it with family, don't have time to cook any more. FYI we black too
you win the comment section
I thought the Whitest thing was making fun of other races/countries while being drunk on beer and shouting "USA! USA! USA!", but I could be wrong.
"with you're natural gifts and our determination, we could both be part of something greater. Something perfect"
Holy shit. what the fuck!?
Why don't you go ahead and watch the movie

I have a black friend and I was with them at a party. And I noticed how much racist micro aggression was thrown at him where ppl would tell him that they don't find black guys attractive and how his gold chain is thuggish. I was frozen with anger. This shit is real and he has to stay silent to not "ruin" the fun of the party.
Thats so fucking sad. I hope they trip down flights of stairs.
So the scene where the cop pulls them over is interesting to say the least. Consider that there are four characters in this scene. There's the cop, Chris, Chris' girlfriend (who she shows) and the psychopath (who she really is and what her motivations are). The cop appears to be suspicious of Chris, and considering that he didn't do anything out of place, the most likely answer is that the cop is cautious of black people. Whether this is the reason he asked for the ID we'll never know, but that's how it will appear to Chris and Chris' girlfriend. Chris is willing to hand over his ID because he has been taught "Follow the cops orders. Don't make any sudden moves. Don't raise your voice.". The psychopath realizes that the officer, upon seeing his ID might cause trouble down the line decides to act. This is where she plays the character of the rebellious white girl. She can defy the officer and raise her voice because she doesn't fear cops. She doesn't hear stories on a regular basis of white women being shot by cops for "looking intimidating". It appears as though her motivation is to protect her boyfriend from harassment, but in retrospect, we realize it may be that she doesn't want a paper trail.
This was amazingly well done.
bruh!! He did his homework on this movie and the message behind it. I'm so glad the "Two-ness" of black people was mentioned here. It's not just an American phenomena but a global one that all black people (trying to make it in a white world) face.

This movie sucked ass. It was just a rip off from the skeleton key.
When I was dating my first girlfriend who was a White South African who moved to Canada, when I met her parents, I too went through the barrage of talks about how they were dead-set against apartheid and how they loved Mandela and how a Zulu priest blessed them and on and on and on. They tried hard to show me they weren't like the 'other White South Africans' and that they really liked me. Like in the movie, my ex's older brother was really weird, patronizing and distant towards me. He would forget my name every damn time we met like the idiotic tool he was. Ironically, the relationship fell apart because my ex cheated on me with another Black man who was more of a thug and player. Supposedly, I was too boring and predictable. I guess I wasn't the 'right type' of Black man for her. Now, a decade and a half later, I'm happily together with my Jamaican wifey, we have our daughter and we live a nice middle-class life. My ex (from what I was told by a mutual friend) is a single mother (shocker - bad ass daddy left her with a kid) who has health issues and lives off of government assistance. The choices we make...
Here in south africa we call those types "the chicken runners" they all voted for Mandela in 1994 but when they realized it actually meant living under black rule they thought that the sky was about to fall and all fled abroad
Get out of Africa if u don't like black rule...thats democracy...go back to holland or norway
Glad you made the right choice brother. No one will ever get you like your own.
This is definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen. And absolutely one the best movies made in the last few years.
Dylan Lane alright... stop
That “not making a scene point” is big facts. I don’t wanna be the “angry black woman” and also don’t wanna constantly be the voice of all black people.

This movie was fantastic. It will be studied in film schools in the future. Favorite of the year so far
I really liked that fight scene towards the end.
Coulda done without the scare chords though.
I don't even see how it was part of the horror genre
Matt Maynard That's what horror is? I thought horror was, like, jump scares and legitimately spooky things. Because if so, then I watch a lot of horror movies unknowingly
Matt Maynard I would like more spoon feeding, daddyofthree
I think it's called a social horror. Horror is generally anything that can give the sense of fear. His horror would be the enslavement of the only thing you have until you die, your body. Imagine being silenced and people talk for you about everything, and anything you do to resist is nullvoid. You might as well be dead or even a zombie, but with the conscious mind of seeing everything you are doing without any control of it. The main social aspect of that would be, not only is it happening to others as well as has happened many times, but your standing, accomplishments, meaning, purpose, voice, actions, become nothing.
You are possessed while someone kills everything you work for. It's not deathly horrific, but horrific on the existential side. Like how Cthulhu is the analogy that the universe doesn't care about life or anything in it, this is more the same thing but from a social standpoint, where everything you work for and who you work for choose to make you meaningless.
I've never read the book the invisible man, but I heard it's about a person who is ignored by society. It would be like that, except instead of being an untouchable and people just stay out of your way, people are taking it upon themselves to make you meaningless rather than giving no meaning to you, who can grant things meaning regardless if you are ignored. You are being made into a ghost who can't interact with the world and must watch as another replace you generally killing you but you can't even die with dignity.
I tend to be wordy. Sorry.
tl;dr
Generally Peter Parker during Superior Spiderman. Feels like Prometheus or Sisyphus.
At the beginning, in his dream Chris turns the teddy bear to face the other way, when he wakes up shirtless.
The bear is turned the other way, even when he thought he was dreaming.
Watching these scenes again I realize that some truths were hidden in plain sights: the husband showing his transformation, the granfather running during the night, the woman expecting a transformation for her old husband, the auction itself. What a great movie, needs to be watched twice!
That W.E.B. DuBoise stuff was deep, and so true. I wasn't expecting that from Wisecrack. Good job.
"The only thing whiter is playing Hackey sack at a fish concert" lmao!!!!
This is one of the best analysis videos I’ve seen for “Get Out”, like the enthusiastic voice too.
I still do not get why Chris kept on asking Rose for the keys after having discovered all those photos.
Right? Just start running 😳
Probably still trying to convince himself that it's not true
Same thing happened with his mom's death
You'd be surprised at how some people cling to a sliver of hope. Even faced with the evidence up front, believing in that bad person, that what they just saw isn't true...
I think it was similar to what NevahLose said. He wanted to trust she wasn't like that, I mean after everything she said in the beginning...
cognitive dissonance.

I went to Korea with my black friend once like 2 years ago and a lot of the people we walked into wanted her picture and would like secretly take photos or videos of her. It was really weird and reminded me of this movie lol. I'm not trying to make any stereotypes about Korea though because not everyone acted that way towards her.

I sort of get the double consciousness thing, I'm white, so obviously not even close to the same way black people experience it, but I'm autistic. There's the me I pretend to be when I'm around neurotypicals, the me I think they want, the me that blends in, then there's the real me, who sticks out and gets funny looks and gets avoided. In my teenage years this was a big struggle, not knowing which was the real me, which I should strive to be, should I blend or should I embrace myself? Was being true to myself worth all the negative attention? Was fitting in worth the self hatred of my cowardice? As an adult I'm much better now, I'm me and I couldn't care less who doesn't approve. But this movie brought back a lot of painful memories. My heart goes out to all who feel this way, regardless of colour or anything else, not being able to be you and be appreciated for being you is so terrible, we all deserve better.
Keep up the good work!
Your commentary was awesome. Well done!!
Chris taking the letter opener to the hand is SOOO badass, look at his facial expression!
The Title itself, "Get Out" doesn't just mean to leave the estate. It could also mean Get Out of the sunken place. I love all the metaphors to b drawn from the movie. whether they were intended or not.
Can you please do something on "Black Mirror" !
Creative Name A series on Black Mirror would be fantastic!!
Creative Name I concur, that would be incredible

A quick clarification regarding W. E. B Dubois's name: although most people pronounce Dubois as Doo-Bwa, W. E. B Dubois pronounced his last name as Doo-Boys. Wisecrack got it right y'all.
Wow this was extremely accurate, well thought out and hit the bases and meanings of the film beautifully. EXCELLENT job! Hands down the best explanation if get out on CZcams.
Finally, I actually dropped tears. I respect your work and appreciate it man.
As a part Native (not of the US) and part European woman I have two personalities. When I'm around fellow Natives I'm more relaxed, I know I'm accepted there. When I'm around fellow Europeans I change into someone who they can liken to because being my other self is uncomfortable for them, something I learned as a teenager being around my white friends' parents in particular. At the same time I know it doesn't matter how much I sound, act, dress like them I'll never be one of them. This duality makes you a little bonkers if you allow that sense of not being accepted to overwhelm you. Holding on to your true self in an environment where you're almost always outnumbered gets the better of some people. The Sunken Place is such a brilliant way to express this. I sometimes wonder, if my true self tends to lean towards my Native culture (even though I grew up in a predominantly white area) because I was always told that's who I am, by my would be colonisers. I was never white, not even part white, I was just a Native. I wonder what kind of person I'd be if that influence had never existed.
To me, the movie made the point that paying attention to someone's race is always bad. Regardless of your intention, to glorify or the damn race, it always leads to bad stuff. Instead race should be ignored for more substantial indicators, like character, goals, ideas, and opinions that are independent of race, to form a truly humanizing bond with any human being.
finally a really good comment
You hit the nail on the head my dude. 👍
I agree, you should ignore race and spend some time in the downtown Chicago or Detroit late at night. Just walk around whitey. Don't pay attention to that group of black guys following you around. That's just racist.

That was an amazing video, as a black man in America, you were describing things I always had in my head but never took seriously because I thought it was just me being paranoid. The quotes from Dubois completely spoke to me. Keep doing your thing man, it's good work you're doing.
Holy crap. Just discovered this channel with this video and I didn't know the movie (which I already liked) was so deep. Thanks for shedding light on all of this!! Now I've got a TON of your videos to get through which feels great!
ive watched this movie about 6 times in the last few weeks because im writing an essay on it, and only now did i realize when chris was in the chair and the camera was panning up from behind the camera, you see a dartboard, a white light switch and a black thermometer. throughout the movie peele makes special effort to point out symettry in framing, yet in this scene you can see that the whitie switch is WAY closer to the dart board than the thermometer. and what is the center of a dartboard also called? bullseye AKA perfect. Im personally convinced this is more intentional than just random luck, but GOD this movie is a masterclass in subtlety and symbolism!
This is all well and good, but one thing still bugs me: Why would the family be so strange and awkward to Chris when they know it's awkward and make him want to leave if they've done this ("meeting the boyfriend") several times before? Allison William's character seems to be a good enough actress to make them fall for it, so the family can act natural, too. Wouldn't they want Chris to stick around and trust the family rather than him immediately being suspicious of them?
I wondered that. I reckon it's because she was a better actor generally and also because she stayed with these men for months, where her brother just dragged men off the road, so she had more practice.
room mate that's exactly what they're trying to do. This movie is seriously part satire and almost all of the white people in this movie are caricatures of how white afluent liberals towards black people. This video doesn't necessarily come right out and talk about the satirical element of this movie, but they did a pretty good job of effectively explaining the point so I'm not sure what you didn't get.
In real life this is exactly how white liberals behave. They're racist and they don't even realise it.
I think she got her good acting from her mom. It was the men in the family that couldn't keep up the act, as well as most of the guests, but Missy, Rose and the art dealer absolutely nailed it.
i don't think they ever realized it came off as suspicious? i mean think about it. at what point does chris actually let them know that he feels really uncomfortable? plus they'd been successful with the other boyfriends so it's likely they even think behaving like that actually works lol

I felt like Chris' obsession with not having helped his mom while he continued to watch TV was a metaphor for all the people of potential power in society who watch from the sidelines. People who could help those in the 'sunken place' but would rather have cheap entertainment than step in. Chris is torn up over it as should those unhelpful citizens.
MAAAAAAN!!!! i swear i love your social commentary about this movie and how you objectively talked about the racial/socioeconomic issues that plague this country without getting defensive and talking about your own feelings. and you really hit the nail on the head when you mentioned how we as black ppl in america sometimes feel like we *HAVE* to be less "black" to make the white people we're surrounded by more comfortable as we don't want to feed into the negative stereotypes that *WE KNOW* exist in the minds of a lot of white people. Generally speaking of course.....
i loved how "Get Out" (to me) proved that we DO NOT exist in a post racial word free of racism & prejudice. and i really hope that people really caught that...
God Bless Jordan Peele--movie is so good. And it was truly terrifying at times. Also this video was great.

European history is literally constant war between various religious and ethnic tribes. What the heck are you talking about?
North America is only different inasmuch as the clashes were between Europeans (whites), natives, Mexicans, and blacks.
i dont believe this issue is exclusive to america. not to say that it applies perfectly to other places but i struggle to believe that there is any place on earth that is "perfect", or doesnt have to deal with these/similar issues. this wasnt the BlacKKKlansman or something, it wasnt about blatant racism; as said in this video, the movie was saying something about white liberals. this movie was saying(among other things) how white people sometimes try too hard to treat black people like normal and end up just treating them like they were special or strong or something. Call me ignorant but i dont think other places dont have similar issues.
of course, other countries have inherently different history, background and levels of diversity, so it makes sense that other places' problems arent comparable to americas' issues.
please reply, i believe this topic needs to be more thoroughly discussed and i would love to learn more about other people's lives.

Did he just pronounce Dubois "duh boys"?
Jacob Bodnovits haha how would you pronounce it?
Dubois tells that pronouncing it "Do-bwah" or any other francophone pronounciation should be rejected. He purposely calls himself "duh boys" in order to reject white society's changing of black names. For example, he notes that dubois was a name given by former white slave masters, or at least white society - purposely mispronouncing it is his way of rejecting whiteness.
@@cornpuffs9621 I had never heard it pronounced that way. My professors all pronounce it Doo-bwah

I also think Rod coming for him is a parallel to chris not going out and looking for his mom? He says no one was looking when she could have been saved. If rod didn’t care, the alternate ending would have been more of the situation I think.
Hey Wisecrack, you should do the hidden meaning or philosophy of Pleasantville. It's a great film with an even deeper meaning about the conflict between new and old values.
This is easily one of your best video breakdowns.
This was really, really well done. You're brilliant!
Glad thus video didn't attempt to write off anything in the movie as parody or satire. Went nuts when people kept saying Get Out was a fantastic satire and was a horror comedy, and yet couldn't ever explain why they thought that other than the fact that they laughed during the movie.
