Get Out is an indie thriller that came out recently. I had the privilege to watch it at the cinemas with some friends. It is a horror movie that touches the issues of racism in America. I found the movie to be very interesting as to how the plot developed. There were several foreshadows that gave the audience the idea of where the story is going but it's atill mysterious at the same time. The movie kept me at my toes the whole way.
The story talks about a mixed couple who was visiting the girlfriend's parents in her hometown. The guy was an African-American while the girlfriend is a Caucasian. The movie got eerie as soon as they started their journey back with weird events happening. Spoiler alert......
It turns out in the end that the girlfriend was actually a fraud. She is part of a syndicate that kidnaps people from the black community for the advantage of her people in her hometown. The girlfriend's father is a neurosurgeon that has mastered a brain transplant process. This surgery allows the transferring of human life from people who are aged or handicapped to healthier and genetically superior beings--the black folks.
The movie ends on a good note as the black boyfriend successfully escapes the syndicate. Ienjoyed the movie very much as it gave me food of thought and raised awareness on the racial stereotypes that should not be allowed to continue exist in our community.
