Get Out
Get Out is a great example of a thriller. The movie constantly gets the audience to be suspicious of what they are seeing and does a great job of putting us in the same shoes as Chris.
One of the movies best features is it's suspense, which rivals that of Hitchcock, especially through how Chris, a black man, is surrounded by white people throughout the whole movie, people who look down on him and treat him as an object, a thing, touching and saying whatever they want to him, placing Chris in a hostile environment where anything could happen to him and where he has no support, except for his girlfriend, Rose.
We as the audience know that the Armitage family are going to be the villains and we suspect them, yet one of the thrills of the movie is whether or not Rose is in on it, or if she's just an innocent bystander.
Where the movie gets especially suspenseful is when the Armitage family invites more guests, further trapping Chris in this environment surrounded by people who are very different from him and view him as such.
The other black people present in the movie do an excellent job at conveying that there is something wrong with them to audience, which can not only be found in the way they act, but also in how they talk, such as how Georgina refers to a phone as a "cellular device".
The film is a great commentary on racism and discrimination, with the white people in the movie viewing what they do to black people as "giving them a purpose" and "joining something greater", phrases and ideas which have been used by oppressors to justify acts such as slavery.
Peeles work in comedy also shines through in Rod, balancing the suspense and thrill of the movie with some light-hearted lines.
This movie is an excellent lesson in creating suspense and thrilling the audience, while also having an interesting and satisfying plot to follow it.
