Review of Get Out (2017) by Walter P — 14 Jul 2017
Its about time somebody makes a movie where the premise is to achieve an extended happier life through a Frankenstein approach of white brain transplantation "because they are smarter" into black bodies "because they are stronger"? Ah, to drink from the black fountain of youth. Rose is the young, attractive, white college coed acts as the seducer of black folks into a sordid scheme of kidnaping, hypnosis and brain transplantation organ-ized and operated by her hypnotist mom, Missy, and surgeon dad, Dean. A scheme that is run for the benefit of Missy and Dean's aging, rich, white liberal friends and neighbors.
The story is suspenseful and terrifying enough as her boyfriend, Chris, figures out what is going on and tries to Get Out of the ever increasingly dangerous situation. Unfortunately, the big reveal near the end made it preposterous. I rolled along with the fruit-loopy humor, cliché racism, ludicrous surgical premise, and terror, deciding to enjoy it rather than poke at its glaring holes or be offended. This movie is way over-rated but is still plenty of non-PC fun.
Word of caution: sure you can date white women from rich families, but just don't lose your head over it .
