Get Out (2017)
Written and directed by Jordan Peele in his directorial debut, this psychological horror film is about a young African-American man named Chris Washington, whose weekend visit to his white girlfriend’s family leads him to become ensnared in a horrific conspiracy.
Daniel Kaluuya plays the lead, while Allison Williams plays Chris’ girlfriend Rose Armitage. The supporting cast includes: Bradley Whitford as neurosurgeon Dean Armitage, Catherine Keener as psychiatrist Missy Armitage, Caleb Landry Jones as Rose’s brother Jeremy Armitage, Stephen Root as art dealer Jim Hudson and Lil Rel Howery as Chris’ best friend/TSA officer Rod Williams.
Daniel Kaluuya (whose breakthrough performance garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Actor) is arguably the most visceral actor in recent years given that he conveys a slew of emotions that complement his character’s justifiable uneasiness to white hospitality. Allison Willams (in her film debut) is a mind-boggling representation of a character whose supposed normalcy masks her underlying sociopathic qualities. Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener not only do an excellent job at employing and foreshadowing the technique of deception, but you wouldn’t expect to see them play a couple of characters with hidden sinister intentions.
The script (which won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay) is ingeniously written in such a way that gives the horror genre an opportunity to explore social/racial issues metaphorically. In other words, Jordan Peele brilliantly uses horror as a vehicle for racism at its most diabolical.
In terms of observing the social commentary of the film, we sense an unsettling feeling in a wealthy white community where the (Black) protagonist doesn’t seem to belong. In the case of the overly accommodating Armitage family, they are part of an ancestral cult that believes black people possess more stamina. On that note, they kidnap African-American men and women to achieve a twisted form of physical enhancement through hypnosis (in the form of Missy’s teacup and spoon) and surgical procedure. The African-Americans in turn are forced into robotic captivity (a modernized version of slavery) by the mental transplantation of their white captors.
On a particularly symbolic note, this film eerily (and stunningly) depicts the consciousness of a black person fading into an infinite vacuum called the “Sunken Place”. This effectively makes the victim unable to scream for help (or even warn another victim to “GET OUT!”), while the white person controls the body.
Apart from the suspenseful storyline, Jordan Peele also weaves in some biting social satire. Unlike other horror films, this one is recognized for its complex yet bizarre themes of challenged racial stereotypes. However, the inclusion of an outspoken comic relief in the form of Rod keeps the movie light.
The soundtrack includes some distinctive Swahili lyrics that roughly translate into tribal chants of caution. On top of that, the song “Redbone” by Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover) is heard during the opening scene.
Lastly, this film is a startling reminder to remain vigilant to the insidious dangers of a potentially lingering prejudice lurking beneath the surface of our progressive society. All in all, I recommend this fresh, terrifying social thriller to everyone.

Where are those keys? ( Get Out Fanfic ) [ Oc x Oc ]
Tumblr media
Title: Where are those keys? ( Get out Fanfic ) [ Oc x Oc ]
Summary: Jasmine Armitage never believed in her family stupid little cult belief. They would take black people and switch their Brain for theirs, and they would leave as a black person. But enter Chris in the picture and things change. Now it's up to Jasmine to think of if life for her or not.
Pairings: Oc x Oc ( Not part of the story )
Warning : Hypnosis, slight violence.
Author Note - This part takes place in my get out Fanfic on Wattpad. This is just for fun.
Tumblr media
Jasmine Armitage was sitting at the table eating crackers, it was one of her favorite late night snacks. She moaned in satisfaction at the taste. Her eyes were closed, so she didn't see any movement.
But she did hear something.
She opened her eyes, and she saw her mother standing by the dinning room entrance door.
She swallowed the last bit of the crackers, and put them away. She knew what was going to happen next.
It was time for their next plan.
She nervously twitched her fingers, anything to get her mind off what was about to happen.
Chris came downstairs first, he held his luggage in his hand and he looked at the family. He looked freaked out and she wanted so badly to shield him from her family.
“ Yo where are you going? The party is getting started?!” Jeremy said.
“ Yo man, just putting the bags in the car?”.
“ Would anyone like some tea?" her mother asked.
Chris responded. “ No I'm good, we're leaving actually”.
Jasmine arched her eyebrows confused, she had to play along. “ Why?”.
“ Is something wrong?” Her mother asked again.
This time Rose, her sister spoke up. “ His dog got very sick and he needs to be at the vet first thing in the morning”.
“ Oh, how terrible ” their mother replied.
Rose was pretending to find the key, but she held the key in her hand.
She was stalling.
Waiting for the next command.
That was why Jasmine hated her family. This was wrong and cruel, but if she goes against them, she'll be put into the sunken place.
“ Rose where are those keys?” Chris asked impatiently. Jasmine sighed and walked into the living room, she leaned against the window.
Her brother Jeremy was swinging the lacrosse stick, he was inching close and close to the African American male.
Jasmine's heart was beating fast in her chest, she nervously clenched her fist.
Just then their father came in, he walked to the fireplace and looked into the fire.
“ What's your purpose Chris?”.
“ What?”.
“ what is your purpose in life? ”.
“ Right now it's finding those keys" Chris replied looking at his girlfriend.
Jasmine bit her lip and squinted her eyes at her sister, and she looked at her brother.
“ Fire is a reflection of our mortality ” Their father began, still looking into the fire. “ We born. We breath, and we die".
“ Rose?” Chris said again, looking at his girlfriend.
“ I'm looking” Rose replied, looking at her boyfriend and then book into the purse.
But Jasmine could hear the key, and she was sure Chris did as well.
“ Even the sun will die some day, we are divine, we are gods trapped in cocoons”.
“ Rose” Chris said, sounding desperate to get out of here.
“ I don't know where they are” Rose stated, crying.
“ Rose the keys. Now! Rose the keys!” Chris yelled, finally over it.
Jeremy swings the lacrosse stick and Chris jumped back. “ Wow, careful bro”.
“ What the fuck?” Rose replied.
Jasmine chimed in. “ Jeremy no”.
“ I didn't do anything ” Jeremy defended himself.
“ What the fuck is going on” Rose cried, still looking for the keys.
The family started to get close, and Jasmine stood close. But she looked like she was ready to defend him at any second.
“ Where are those keys, Rose?” Chris asked one last time, this time he sounded done for.
Rose's facial held fear, and sorrow but changed instantly, her emotions switched and turned off.
“ You know I can't give you the keys right babe?” she asked, facial expression now monotone.
Chris dropped his bag, and sighed.
Jasmine bit her lip, he had at least five seconds to get out, but he wouldn't make it to the door thanks to Jeremy.
“ Come on” Jeremy said, looking at Chris.
Jasmine was scared for her brother, they understood each other and she didn't want anything to happen to him.
Chris ran full force at Jeremy, they both fought for the stick but their mother tapped the spoon three times on the tea cup.
Chris went down with ease, his body went stiff.
“ Oh, shit!”.
“ Is he hurt?” Missy asked.
“ Did you see him drop?”.
“ Yes, I did.”
Rose tied her hair up in a ponytail and came close to the family, Jasmine followed and stood beside her as they all stared down at Chris.
“ Jeremy grab his legs please, Dean you help me”.
“ I can get him alone” Jeremy replied, leaning down to pick up Chris.
“ No, you can't. You already damaged him enough” Missy replied.
“ Okay, fine” Jeremy said.
They lifted him with ease and begin to move him. “ Mind his head”.
They begin to talk more.
And Jasmine felt truly disgusted and wanted so badly to help the man out of the house, but she still had her part to play.
“ You were one of my favorites ” Rose said.
“ You hear that Chris, you were one of her favorites ” Jeremy taunts Chris.
They carried him out the room and downstairs all while Jasmine had this feeling in the back of her neck.
Something will happen and soon.
She just knows it.

Fandom: Get Out (2017)
Rating: No Rating
Summary: "What the hell did I tell you, man?"
@flashfictionfridayofficial
"What the hell did I tell you, man?"
"Nah. I don't wanna hear it right now," Chris mutters, trudging along the dirt-covered road. The airport police car sputtered to a halt about a mile back, and twenty something miles from the Armitage house.
"I did say it! I did!" Rod huffs alongside him, glaring. "I said not to go to a white girl's parents' house!"
Hacking up, Chris wordlessly spits.
"Now those detectives are gonna be BEGGING to listen and — "
"Thanks for havin' my back, Rod," Chris says quietly, not looking at him, "I mean it… but would you give it a rest? I just need a minute."
Rod does look at him shuddering out a breath, nodding.
"Yeah, yeah sure…"
Chris tilts his head up the night sky, blackening over, silhouetting the pinpricks of stars. Must be nice to be upstate of New York.
"Sid's doing good…"
"That's good."
Headlights illuminate everything behind them.
An older-looking white woman rolls up. Definitely not rich.
"My Lord in Heaven — are you okay? Do you both help?" she asks.
"Uh." Chris doesn't feel like his brain is processing anything. He needs a cigarette. "Sure, directions. D'you know how to get back to 81?"
"Oh my! It's not that far!"
She smiles at Rod not smiling back.
"My name is Rose, by the way. It's nice to mee — "
Rod shakes his head. "Nope."
"Nope," Chris mumbles at the same time, lowering his head.
They keep walking, leaving her gobsmacked.
"Damn it, my feet hurt."
"Ice your bunions later, man."
"Damn it."
