Review of Get Out (2017) by Jaxsrj10 — 19 Jan 2018

I went into this movie with high expectations and was thoroughly disappointed. This was the most overrated piece of junk I have ever scene. Hmmm let me guess a movie written by a black film maker where predictably the hero is black, the white people are all evil and everyone is supposed to completely ignore the onesidedness of any attempt at social commentary.

But beyond that the movie just wasn't very funny, very interesting or very scary. The only reason critics are praising this is to not get called a racist and to avoid being swept away by the wave of "Oscars so white.

" It would be refreshing AND TRULY SURPRISING for a black film maker to make a movie, any movie, where the central theme wasn't racism, now THAT would be noteworthy. I won't hold me breath. Until black film makers embrace the fact that they are more than just spokesman for the black race as a whole, that they can convey ideas beyond "being black" they will never produce anything that we won't see coming a mile away.
