The Message Behind Upcoming Movie "Get Out" (IR Lead Couple)

RicardoCooper said:
A "HORROR" FILM BASED ON THE EXAGGERATED IDEA OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU AS A BLACK MAN IF YOU DATE WHITE WOMEN, HANG OUT WITH WHITE PEOPLE, OR GO OUT TO THE COUNTRY WITH THEM, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE SCARE TACTICS MANY BLACK MEN HAVE HEARD BEFORE TO KEEP THEM FROM DATING WHITE WOMEN.

Jesus some of ya'll negroes is slow as fuck

Or it can be coming from the mind of man who has dated white women in areas like this. Like I said get out of the city once in awhile.
I've definitely been that black dude who's dated a girl who's family lives a more rural area with far less black than I'm comfortable with. Driving those roads late at night where the only light comes from your car ain't fun.
Sorry we aren't all one dimensional dudes

I know right. As a black man who has always lived in the city or an immediate suburb, why would I be interested in a rural area?

I've lived in rural areas. It's not bad if you know where you're going. I once spent a couple of years walking in those areas in the dark. My only worries were dog attacks and getting hit by speeding vehicles. I had no problems with locals.

On the plus side, I enjoyed fresh air and nice sunsets(where I lived).
 
RC,the only thing I will say of that flick is partially true. I saw it and enjoyed it. I will say my full opinion after you seen it.
 
Here's a pretty good review
https://www.theguardian.com/film/20...an-peele-writer-director-liberal-white-racism

Now about why you don't see Black Americans get theses roles lets be honest about why they don't cast black american actors it is because they are just not as good, but that is not just black actors its the entire pool of american actors. Let's face it among young american actors talent is just not there like it once was. Why? Well casting directors will cast a mediocre talent with good looks over a great talent with average looks. They will do this over and over and these mediocre talents will get jobs after job. Unless they do it on their own they have no incentive to go and hone their skills. Then look at these British actors many of them are classically trained, they will go out and try to get better, they are willing to take on roles in smaller less known films hell lots of them will go do plays even when they are big stars because it helps them become better actors.
 
Yeah I could see the argument if it was Just African American Talent getting the shaft. But white American Talent cant get a shot against Brits and Aussies either.
America Just doesnt produce acting talent.
And yeah look no further then CW to get a read on how it works in America. The go for look over talent every time.

You think so? Give me some examples now I'm intrigued because most of the stars like Emma Stone and Chris Evans are American.

LOL> Ridiculous statement x1000.
And the CW is hardly a gauge for the acting talent produced in this country.

This shit with Brit actors is faddish because most producers and directors in Hollywood are still anglophiles.
 
I won't be seeing it this weekend something came up. But me and my girlfriend will be going next weekend. So no spoilers or just might avoid this thread all together. lol.
 
This is not a spoiler, but an update on the Box Office numbers from variety.com

"Jordan Peele's “Get Out” continued its strong box office opening run on Friday, earning $10.8 million at 2,781 locations. Its weekend total is now estimated at $28.5 million, and it should easily win the weekend. The same, however, can not be said for Lionsgate Premiere's “Rock Dog” and Open Road's “Collide.”

Already proven to be another example of how the public has BEEN "ready" for IR relationships between black men and white women on tv and movies. It's the story you tell and how you tell
it. A United Kingdom, which is an independent release is already at $630,500 . Imagine the numbers if it would have opened on more screens. Hollywood is slowly exposing itself as
the ones that has issue with IR between black men and white women.
