GET OUT

I saw this film twice. I enjoyed it very much then I listened to this great interview on NPR confirming points I thought about the film. Jordan Peele frequently commented on the Stepford Wives which is exactly how I described the film. A Stepford wife movie substituting Black people for Wives. Peele calls it a Social Thriller genre. He made that term. The subtle racist comments he calls micro-agressions. Comments that point to ones otherness.  Speaking with an accent or talking about black people they like or characteristics they like about black people. However they want black people in a white washed suburban persona that is like them. It is about cultural appropriation without wanting the rest of the person. He also talked about being bi-racial. He is half black and half white. In grammar school it was at first difficult for him to fill out the circle about race and he would put other until about 14 when he decided to identify as black. Here's the interview link to cut and paste.  (I messed up and lost the link).
