What becomes a little more obvious upon rewatch is that when Rose reprimands the officer for asking for Chris’s ID, she isn’t standing up for Chris’s rights, she’s eliminating the paper trail that ties him to her when he disappears.
@@danlayne9436 wym? obviously at the end of the movie things didn't go as she had planned and she was throwing out a last ditch effort to transform the narrative and regain control? if things had gone as planned and Chris simply disappeared, and he was on police record of having been with her when they were pulled over, she would have been linked to the disappearance. that didn't happen. what are you going for with this comment?
@@K.C-2049 Why call the cops to have any kind of record? The cop got her information and noted that a black gentleman was with her. Now, he'll definitely remember because she threw a hissy about looking at his ID. When Chris goes missing and Rose's name is attached, guess who'll know?
I mean, even if there were a paper trail, if things went as planned, the blind guy could've just pretended to be chris when the cops came knocking, so both of your points are invalid.
You had the right idea about the ending. Originally, it was actually the cops. They show up and arrest him. After test screenings it was changed to be his friend, so the movie could have the more positive ending.
But you still get this great moment. That instead of "oh thank god it's the cops" ending of a typical horror movie with a white girl surviving, you get an "oh no it's the the cops!" Moment.
I didn’t mind, it’s more a bittersweet realistic ending it’s hard to get away with killing like that so it just made more sense he got arrested but the good thing is like he says to Reggie “I stopped it.”
@@magicbrownie1357Peele basically said he changed it because Trump was elected. The movie was supposed to be a criticism of white liberal "racism" of the Obama era but he didn't want people to leave the theatre with the emotional tone the original ending would've caused.
I really like the semi-inversion of the classic "horror movie film friend". Like he definitely is kinda bumbling and clear comedic relief but all of it is during scenes where he's either warning the main character giving him surprisingly sound advice or actively helping him. He isn't just going "Ohhhhh shiet duuuuuude!" and screaming the whole movie.
The brother kept going on about Chris' supposedly superior physical abilities and strength. But in the end when they fought by the door Chris didn't overpower him - he outsmarted him! Chris took note that the brother kept blocking the door with his foot whenever Chris tried to open it, so he tricked him into doing the leg move again so he could stab him in the leg and get free. A small detail, but important one.
This is a movie that greatly rewards multiple views. One of my favorite little details is that throwaway line that the grandfather was a competitive runner, so later when we see the gardener sprinting in the dark, it's not just horror movie trope 101 to scare the audience, this is a man enjoying the physical benefits of his new body to relive his glory days.
This movie is great with subtle hints, like the father mentioning they have "black mold" in the basement. Another is the fact that the cop responding to their deer accident was likely asking for Chris's ID in response to all of the missing people and trying to investigate the disappearances
And her "standing up to the cop" in his stead and not letting the cop get his ID was not her protecting him from racism, but rather making sure he leaves no paper trail. Chilling
Also, "we keep a little bit of my mother" in the kitchen, as the camera shows Georgina... who's literally being possessed by "a little bit of [his] mother's brain".
The scene where everyone goes silent at the party once they go upstairs is SO eerie. That, the camera flash scene, and the silent auction were so well done.
I saw this movie three times in theaters. This is how well Jordan Peele knew his audience: everyone gasped/yelped at the jump scare of Georgina in the kitchen, cheered when Chris killed the family, groaned when they saw the lights and sirens of the "cop" car, and laughed at Rod's jokes at the end. Each time. Three different audiences. Same thing.
When I saw it people were literally screaming at the screen during the Rose’s pics reveal, half were like ohhhh I knew it! And the other half were like noooo she’s brainwashed too! And when she showed the keys everyone laughed, screamed, or groaned. The audience reaction was sooo good, saw it at least twice in theaters
Daniel Kaluuya also stars in Black Mirror season 1 episode 2 called "15 Million Merits," in which his character is also helplessly enslaved in a dystopian world and tries to get out. Made before "Get Out," it's every bit as unforgettable and thought-provoking, so be sure to check it out.
One of my fav episodes of the show. Daniel's role in Black Mirror is what actually got me intrested in the movie in the first place since I wasn't as familiar with Key and Peele
☕️ I always thought that Rose has a little bit of her mom's ability. Not only does she have to find someone that doesn't have a lot of family ties (that would push for a massive manhunt if they go missing), she has to bring home the ones that are susceptible to hypnotism. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to gather everyone for the weekend auction and then find that the subject won't go into the sunken place.
Another thing to note is that the brother was mad after the “auction” because he didn’t get Chris. He was acting weird at the dinner table because he wanted to be a better fighter (In chris’s body of course). So Jordan Peele let them have their last fight at the end of the movie. The fight he wanted at the dinner table. And of course chris won because he thought ahead. Reaching for the door causing the brother to kick it shut, causing chris to get the stab off
The deer in the movie may symbolize buck breaking. The movie starts with a deer being hit and incapacitated/killed alluding to if a "young buck" gets too close to this family the same will happen to them. Then the trophy head above the tv before the surgery implies that they've "taken heads" before and love to show it off. Finally it's switched on them when the trophy head is used to kill and free a victim.
Actually, it confuses me how he can block out all sound with a little wisp of cotton, yet Rose hears his car leaving while wearing big headphones and listening to music.
I noticed this little detail too and made the mistake of mentioning it under another reaction video, and all these people came out of the woodwork and said things like, "Why does everything have to be about race?" and "Why do people always make it about race?" and "That's such a stretch." In a movie where a Black character is being enslaved by a white family and he literally picks cotton to save himself. What movie were these people watching? I think it was the first time I've truly understood the phrase "lost for words."
I love how the doe reminds him of his mother, and in the end he uses a buck to fight his way out. It's like linking him with his mom, like she's watching over him.
A perfectly constructed movie with symbolism everywhere. I wish Allison Williams had gotten an Oscar nomination for her role as Rose. Truly one of the great movie villains of all time. Also the interesting thing is that Jeremy is the least evil. He drinks and is uneven compared to the cold professionalism of the rest of the family, almost certainly because he has some semblance of a conscience buried underneath all that conditioning. Whereas Rose lives for the hunt and loves what she does.
I watched this movie with a couple surgeons and they were horrified the dad recontaminated himself after scrubbing in. And I'm like, um, they are doing candlelight brain surgery in a basement....
@@zbennalley It is the most positive depiction of the TSA ever put on screen haha. I don't know if it's accurate, but if I was a TSA guy I'd sure love it haha.
I feel like he identified with the deer? Being unable to act in the face of death just like what happened with his mom, he just didn't do anything? Dunno.
I saw Being John Malkovich when it first came out when I was a kid, and probably 10 times since, it's such a trip of a movie. I don't see Get Out as original like so many others do and takes away from the experience a bit. Similarly, I can imagine people seeing BJM now after Get Out, knowing there's a connection, will not experience the same impact.
Everyone, everywhere, had the exact same reaction when they see the police lights appearing near the end and everyone knew what it meant if it went the other way. This movie effing nails it. Glob dang this movie is horrific and brilliant
My favorite tidbit is the cop from the beginning was actually good. He probably knew that black people have been going missing and potentially even suspected Rose's family. If the officer had recorded Chris' ID, he could've had evidence that Chris was in fact in the area if Chris had gone missing. Rose's insistence against the cop seeing Chris' ID has a much different meaning considering her role in the rest of the movie.
At around 1:34:13, as Georgina wakes up and looks at Chris, her wig comes off and exposes her surgery scar line. We can see this with Walter at around 1:35:30 when his cap comes off after tackling Chris. I will assume it's the same with Andre's (aka Logan) boater hat at around 45:00. This shows the level of brilliance in detail and consistency this film has.
Something I literally didn't catch until this rewatch is the first shot of Georgina is while the dad is saying the line, "My mother loved her kitchen so we keep a piece of her in here." STOP, lmao. And yeah, that scene between Georgina and Chris was absolutely incredible, especially once you understand the context after the drop. The "No no no no no no no no no" isn't just an answer to Chris, but the grandma and the original personality fighting for control, maybe even saying "no" at the same time. Even more disturbing is the fact that Georgina was presumably a lesbian, and she would have to be present for any intimate activities between grandma and grandpa.
There's a film reviewer - not a reactor - whom I really like, and it's funny because even though she's young and black, she routinely uses old fogey white expressions like "shenanigans," "the whole shebang" and "yikes." It always makes me smile.
Real standouts here are Daniel Kaluuya and Betty Gabriel doing that single tear, frozen face and Allison Williams doing the deadpan phone call. Chilling...
30:21 she’s right. He used music in the first night scene to make you jump. That woman walking across the screen in the background would have been mildly concerning and possibly even missable without the overly loud musical cue. Then the movie does it 2 more times in a row when he goes outside. It was cheap. But the movie doesn’t rely on it to be scary/creepy or good.
The actor that played the boyfriend Daniel Kaluuya was in season 1 episode 2 of black mirror 15 million merits he was brilliant in that episode. If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it. This movie is very black mirror-esque. Black mirror did a similar thing.
When they hit the deer she protested so much about him not showing his id cause she didn't want the cop to find out his name and details if somebody were to report him missing.
The scariest part of this movie is "The Sunken Place". Suspended in a deep, black void with nothing to hold onto, the outside world is far away like a tiny TV screen you can't reach, trapped alone. That is a true nightmare scenario.
@@user-td6ri8rx6qI believe in an honor system. If you promote that it’s your first time watching, it should be your first time watching. You don’t need to convince me, but I’ve certainly come across channels that were clearly lying. Cinebinge is not one of them. Regardless of how I feel about them, I don’t believe they’re lying to me about if they’ve seen these movies before.
I love this movie, it works as a horror movie on its own but it's also an amazingly well done allegory for the horrors of slavery. Some people like to make excuses for antebellum slavery saying things like "Oh, for most slaves it wasn't that bad", but the horror is that a slave wasn't allowed to control even what they did or did not do with their own bodies and the owners would even try to control their thoughts and feelings, leaving the slaves to be forced to only be themselves on the inside. Even the owners that treated them with "affection" like the daughter, will still doing so within the context of them being a possessed object.
Love that the gardener is played as freaky but once we find out about the transplants its makes sense since he was a track star! Also the brother saying "I wasn't gonna hurt him" reading more like "I wasn't gonna damage the goods" in retrospect. Also we Stanfield's character was talking to the girlfriend in the beginning! Also the girlfriend separated the whites and "colors" when eating cereal.
Since I assume everyone in the comments will rightfully recommend Peele's other films, Us (2019) and Nope (2022), some other great movies about race in America that I'd really like to see covered on the channel are Spike Lee's masterpiece Do the Right Thing (1989) and the underrated Blindspotting (2018), which was popular enough to be turned into a TV show that follows the events of the movie, although it was tragically just canceled a few weeks ago. Lee also made Malcolm X (1992), which is another masterpiece, although I suppose I'm more inclined to think of that as a true story movie or a biopic first and foremost even if it is obviously about race. Another one that might come up a ton in this context is Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You (2018), which with Blindspotting and Black Panther, form a trio of great 2018 movies that grew out of the Black Bay Area experience. Sorry to Bother You also stars LaKeith Stanfield, who plays Andre Hayward in this.
I concur. Do The Right Thing is a classic American movie and should be seen by everyone. Malcolm X is also one of my favorite movies that almost never gets reacted to. It's right up there with Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump on my list of brilliant movie making and acting.
This movie is an absolute masterpiece. Best Horrormovie of the 2010s and immediately a modern classic. Everything about this movie is flawless. Every rewatch is so much fun because you always find new details and hidden messages
I just caught a line I never heard before. When they are giving the tour and the enter the kitchen, the dad says his mother loved her kitchens and they keep a piece of her in here, and then they show goergina
27:22 - “is it the grandparents?” there are clues throughout. Bradley Whitford mentions “a piece of [his mother]” in the kitchen, and they talk about how his father never quite got over losing to Jesse Owens, hence the late night running in a black body
Peele was inspired by the books Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives. He made the main character a lot like the Stepford Wives protagonist, and also named his gf Rose.
6:30 The father was talking more about hiring them to take care of the house and grounds as it got to be too much for his aging parents. Not that he took healthcare professionals and kept them on as housekeeper and gardener.
Nice to see the very lovely Simone, and then there is George!😊 Yes Simone, "Key & Peele" were both on the Fox comedy "Mad TV" together, which was similar to SNL. In more recent years they had a comedy show together called "Key & Peele". Key's full name is Keegan-Michael Key. George, good call guessing the auction. You guessed a few things that were right. Great reactions to this well-made film, Simone & George!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
27:42 didn’t even notice it the first time I watched the movie but when they introduce the grandma in the first scene with her they say we always like to keep a piece of her in the kitchen in that scene
I remember our theatre letting out a collective groan when the police showed up at the end but then a sigh of relief when it was revealed to be his friend
I love the trope in horror movie cinematography of nature as a karmaic force, hitting the deer being a common one that conveys a prophecy for either the person to curb their current moral outreach if they're a more violent character and what they're capable of, or a warning that you too, are the deer in this scenario off the top of my head; same thing with the kangaroo in Talk to me, and in the game Until Dawn its even a mechanic implying that what you do to an animal in a narrative will return to you tenfold, like this universal grim fallacy that always comes back
There's another horror movie, _The Invitation_ (the 2015 movie, not the more recent one with that title), where a couple on their way to a house party also with cultlike vibes hit a coyote and have to "put it out of its misery." You're right; this is a common trope.
I am not a horror movie fan (sometimes even watching your reactions for horror movies I haven't seen is too much 🤣) but I LOVE Jordan Peele's films! You two should definitely watch Jordan Peele's other movies "Us" and "Nope". Both are great, but a heads up that George will probably have issues with "Us". I would highly recommend that you don't try to over analyze it, if you do, you may ruin it for yourself!
Us is an odd one, though, in the sense that the film demands analysis in terms of all the allegory that's loaded into the movie, but you definitely don't want to analyze in terms of actual plot mechanics, and the practicality and such. Its really more of like a surreal art thing than actual horror.
@@rexmundi2986 there’s definitely more allegory in US, but as long as you can suspend disbelief, which you have to do a fair share of in any horror movie, even this one, then it’s a real ride. The first half especially is great at building tension. Loved Nope too. I think that’s my favorite of the three.
"Us" was really good up until the major plot hole at the end, which ruined it for me. "Nope" was just good and cool overall, though I can imagine some people might find it a bit on the slow side.
Your reactions are a perfect reflection of the slow release story-telling in this movie. You're given just enough hints to keep you on the edge of your seat, then as soon as you realise it's a mind-share, he starts fighting back. Lakeith Stanfield is great in this and everything else Ive seen him in. If you havent seen 'Sorry To Bother You', it's another trip of a movie with Lakeith as the lead.
actually your point about the flash made me realize for the first time that.. the art dealer/wannabe photographer would have been fairly hecked.. like trying to exercise any or both of those activities while avoiding flashes seems impossible? not even counting galas, art gallery vernissages..? he would be escaping left and right huh..
I just watched three of your reactions in a row and George’s look of utter confusion during every single intro has me dying every time. The Mummy 2 reaction was the most consternated face he could have possibly made.
Allison Williams performance as Rose, particularly in the final act make me think she would be an amazing villain in a Terminator movie. Especially considering the original idea was that the Terminator infiltration units were excellent at pretending to be humans until they acquired their target
There was originally a different ending where it was just another cop that showed up instead of his friend, but those who viewed the test screenings thought it was too depressing so they went with the ending we see in the release for some levity and catharsis.
The value of lingering on him and the deer is a bit subtle but applies to later. When he reveals that his mom died, but not immediately, but laid there dying, alone on the street. You also realize it on the rewatch but the reason she didn't want him to show his license to the cop was to leave less of a trail when he eventually goes missing.
Vaguely gives a similar feeling to an old Rock Hudson film from the 60's, a thriller called "Seconds" ( story is not the same, but it is about identity ).
I actually really enjoyed his resurrection of The Twilight Zone TV series even though it didn't last long as the original series and it's numerous revivals over the decades have given so many opportunities to writers and performers who went on to great careers and I applaud him for bringing it back for a whole new generation to enjoy and this movie definitely reminded me of a long form Twilight Zone episode
I agree with George. I don't think it relies on jump scares. It has a couple of jump scares because it's a horror movie and it's using its tropes but it doesn't RELY on them; it doesn't depend on them. If you take them out, it's still a very effective and creepy horror film. It's not the jump scares that make the horror here.
I mean, Simone didn't say it relied on jump scares, she just said there WERE some jump scares, and was correct, and then George denied it and said it was her fault for being jump scared by the jump scares :P
That Locked In idea freaks me out as well. When I had some bad blood sugar issues off and on for a few years, I would have these exhaustion episodes where I would zonk out and very frequently partially wake up, where I was locked in sleep paralysis and each time it was terrifying. I can't imagine dealing with something like that long term. I had similar freakout feelings during the last episode of season 1 of Chucky and the film All Hallows Eve, both of which had scenes with amputations. Captors keeping someone by cutting off their limbs.
That “Run Rabbit, Run” song always gets to me for being so super creepy. 🎼🐰🚫😳 Tim Burton also used it in his “Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children” movie, albeit in a different context. 😁 Thanks George and Simone for another great review! xoxo Christine in sunny Colorado, USA ♥️
The symbolism of him using cotton to free himself when it used to represent slavery (still does to some probably). You should really watch The Menu. It is a mystery/thriller/horror. Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy.
Watching this I thought the woman playing the grandmother was a great actress. When I saw her in the Jack Ryan show I almost didn't recognize her but thought she was a good actress. When I realized where I saw her before I was enthused.
I see how you could see the flash thing as a logic leap. However, if you rememeber from the informational film Chris watched, this procedure was developed a long time ago. So this probably worked better during the time before cellphones and cameras were readily available. Great reaction!!!
Anyway, the potential buyers seem to be millonaires that live in their mansions and don't interact much with the outside world, so it's probably not such a big issue in their everyday lives.

Also, "we keep a little bit of my mother" in the kitchen, as the camera shows Georgina... who's literally being possessed by "a little bit of [his] mother's brain".
I will always remember watching this and Logan on the same day. Pat myself on the back for that one. Classic double feature
Damn, that was a great day. Two wonderful unique movie experiences.
Logan is brilliant! The best X-Men movie. Unless you want a little bit more of X-Menning from your X-Mens then the best one is X2.
Oh hey, I went to see those back to back, too. Tough night, but no regrets.

I feel like he identified with the deer? Being unable to act in the face of death just like what happened with his mom, he just didn't do anything? Dunno.
I saw Being John Malkovich when it first came out when I was a kid, and probably 10 times since, it's such a trip of a movie. I don't see Get Out as original like so many others do and takes away from the experience a bit. Similarly, I can imagine people seeing BJM now after Get Out, knowing there's a connection, will not experience the same impact.
Everyone, everywhere, had the exact same reaction when they see the police lights appearing near the end and everyone knew what it meant if it went the other way. This movie effing nails it. Glob dang this movie is horrific and brilliant
My favorite tidbit is the cop from the beginning was actually good. He probably knew that black people have been going missing and potentially even suspected Rose's family. If the officer had recorded Chris' ID, he could've had evidence that Chris was in fact in the area if Chris had gone missing. Rose's insistence against the cop seeing Chris' ID has a much different meaning considering her role in the rest of the movie.
At around 1:34:13, as Georgina wakes up and looks at Chris, her wig comes off and exposes her surgery scar line. We can see this with Walter at around 1:35:30 when his cap comes off after tackling Chris. I will assume it's the same with Andre's (aka Logan) boater hat at around 45:00. This shows the level of brilliance in detail and consistency this film has.
Something I literally didn't catch until this rewatch is the first shot of Georgina is while the dad is saying the line, "My mother loved her kitchen so we keep a piece of her in here." STOP, lmao.
And yeah, that scene between Georgina and Chris was absolutely incredible, especially once you understand the context after the drop. The "No no no no no no no no no" isn't just an answer to Chris, but the grandma and the original personality fighting for control, maybe even saying "no" at the same time. Even more disturbing is the fact that Georgina was presumably a lesbian, and she would have to be present for any intimate activities between grandma and grandpa.
Comedy and horror are both extremely dependent on timing, which is why many people who excel in one can transition to the other.
And a laugh and a scream can sound similar and are both a release of tension.
Seen this movie a bunch of times and I always love watching people predict what’s gonna happen. Then being so wrong. 😂
He got very close at parts, but every time, I kept saying, "So close, but somehow it's so much worse than that, still."
lmao George being an old man and saying "there was a lot of hubbub".
There's a film reviewer - not a reactor - whom I really like, and it's funny because even though she's young and black, she routinely uses old fogey white expressions like "shenanigans," "the whole shebang" and "yikes." It always makes me smile.
Love that first the deer is a symbol of fear, but in the end he uses it as a weapon to free himself.
Real standouts here are Daniel Kaluuya and Betty Gabriel doing that single tear, frozen face and Allison Williams doing the deadpan phone call. Chilling...
30:21 she’s right. He used music in the first night scene to make you jump. That woman walking across the screen in the background would have been mildly concerning and possibly even missable without the overly loud musical cue. Then the movie does it 2 more times in a row when he goes outside. It was cheap. But the movie doesn’t rely on it to be scary/creepy or good.
The actor that played the boyfriend Daniel Kaluuya was in season 1 episode 2 of black mirror 15 million merits he was brilliant in that episode. If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it. This movie is very black mirror-esque. Black mirror did a similar thing.
Mother: reveals herself to be a monster.
George: "that seems kinda, unethical..?"
There's a fine line between laughing and screaming.
You two really give me something to look forward to in the morning.
When they hit the deer she protested so much about him not showing his id cause she didn't want the cop to find out his name and details if somebody were to report him missing.
The scariest part of this movie is "The Sunken Place". Suspended in a deep, black void with nothing to hold onto, the outside world is far away like a tiny TV screen you can't reach, trapped alone. That is a true nightmare scenario.
George: "The mom seems okay"
Me: Oh, my sweet summer child...
This is going to be fun because George is going try to figure it out and I’m confident he’s not going to. Let’s go!
Damn, he totally did.
@@user-td6ri8rx6qI believe in an honor system. If you promote that it’s your first time watching, it should be your first time watching. You don’t need to convince me, but I’ve certainly come across channels that were clearly lying. Cinebinge is not one of them. Regardless of how I feel about them, I don’t believe they’re lying to me about if they’ve seen these movies before.
@@Bringmethehorizondude Well, I don't think he predicted the brain transplants. NOBODY predicts the brain transplants!
I love this movie, it works as a horror movie on its own but it's also an amazingly well done allegory for the horrors of slavery. Some people like to make excuses for antebellum slavery saying things like "Oh, for most slaves it wasn't that bad", but the horror is that a slave wasn't allowed to control even what they did or did not do with their own bodies and the owners would even try to control their thoughts and feelings, leaving the slaves to be forced to only be themselves on the inside. Even the owners that treated them with "affection" like the daughter, will still doing so within the context of them being a possessed object.
“Get Out” is the best documentary I’ve ever seen.
Love that the gardener is played as freaky but once we find out about the transplants its makes sense since he was a track star! Also the brother saying "I wasn't gonna hurt him" reading more like "I wasn't gonna damage the goods" in retrospect. Also we Stanfield's character was talking to the girlfriend in the beginning! Also the girlfriend separated the whites and "colors" when eating cereal.
I hope you guys continue with Jordan Peele and do Us and Nope
Nope is so fabulous. a bit brutal to watch at some points (iykyk) but sooooo good
@@K.C-2049 Sometimes your food doesn't agree with you; it happens! 😅
Get out is also a great rewatch since there are a few things you start to pick up on. What a movie!
Since I assume everyone in the comments will rightfully recommend Peele's other films, Us (2019) and Nope (2022), some other great movies about race in America that I'd really like to see covered on the channel are Spike Lee's masterpiece Do the Right Thing (1989) and the underrated Blindspotting (2018), which was popular enough to be turned into a TV show that follows the events of the movie, although it was tragically just canceled a few weeks ago. Lee also made Malcolm X (1992), which is another masterpiece, although I suppose I'm more inclined to think of that as a true story movie or a biopic first and foremost even if it is obviously about race. Another one that might come up a ton in this context is Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You (2018), which with Blindspotting and Black Panther, form a trio of great 2018 movies that grew out of the Black Bay Area experience. Sorry to Bother You also stars LaKeith Stanfield, who plays Andre Hayward in this.
I second Do The Right Thing. Brilliant movie
I concur. Do The Right Thing is a classic American movie and should be seen by everyone. Malcolm X is also one of my favorite movies that almost never gets reacted to. It's right up there with Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump on my list of brilliant movie making and acting.
I'm begging you to watch Peele's Nope. It's a masterpiece
Seconding Blindspotting (2018)
@@moonorange9358seems like a good George movie, somehow
I'm glad I found this channel I watch these videos every day after work. I love how there's so many videos to watch so I don't run out of content
This movie is an absolute masterpiece. Best Horrormovie of the 2010s and immediately a modern classic. Everything about this movie is flawless. Every rewatch is so much fun because you always find new details and hidden messages
Second this 100%.
Is it really Horror tho? Idk
@@Spidr-Man yes it is
I just caught a line I never heard before. When they are giving the tour and the enter the kitchen, the dad says his mother loved her kitchens and they keep a piece of her in here, and then they show goergina
so happy you guys enjoyed this
27:22 - “is it the grandparents?”
there are clues throughout. Bradley Whitford mentions “a piece of [his mother]” in the kitchen, and they talk about how his father never quite got over losing to Jesse Owens, hence the late night running in a black body
George: "Fantastic acting."
This whole movie has absolutely brilliant performances, especially Daniel Kaluuya (who is amazing in everything hes in).
want these guys to react to Barry sooo bad. Stephen Root kills it in that
27:05 - I'm surprised no one mentioned she's drinking milk right when Simone says "what a psycho"
I love that the Dad rants about the deer in the beginning and then Chris stabs him with the deer antlers at the end😂
Peele was inspired by the books Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives. He made the main character a lot like the Stepford Wives protagonist, and also named his gf Rose.
This is such a rewatchable movie. So many signs
Took seeing this to catch the “my mother loved her kitchen so we kept a part of her here” line.
The Grandfather was a runner who lost out to Jesse Owens… that’s why he’s using his new body to run.
The reason comedy and horror are similar is because of the format. Jokes and scares are about the setup and punchline (or jumpscare for horror)
george's cup is EVERYTHING lol, happy to see a fellow stormlight archive fan
"Grandma loved her kitchen, so we keep a little piece of her here". I caught that on my like tenth time seeing it :)
'Is iron iron...' I understood that reference!
6:30 The father was talking more about hiring them to take care of the house and grounds as it got to be too much for his aging parents. Not that he took healthcare professionals and kept them on as housekeeper and gardener.
The cotton from the couch is such a small detail but sooooooooooooooo powerful at the same time !
Nice to see the very lovely Simone, and then there is George!😊 Yes Simone, "Key & Peele" were both on the Fox comedy "Mad TV" together, which was similar to SNL. In more recent years they had a comedy show together called "Key & Peele". Key's full name is Keegan-Michael Key. George, good call guessing the auction. You guessed a few things that were right. Great reactions to this well-made film, Simone & George!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
27:42 didn’t even notice it the first time I watched the movie but when they introduce the grandma in the first scene with her they say we always like to keep a piece of her in the kitchen in that scene
I remember our theatre letting out a collective groan when the police showed up at the end but then a sigh of relief when it was revealed to be his friend
When you watch this movie a second time, and you know what’s going on, it’s pretty neat!
My mother loves her kitchen so we keep a piece of her in here. His mom was literally in there 😮
I love the trope in horror movie cinematography of nature as a karmaic force, hitting the deer being a common one that conveys a prophecy for either the person to curb their current moral outreach if they're a more violent character and what they're capable of, or a warning that you too, are the deer in this scenario
off the top of my head; same thing with the kangaroo in Talk to me, and in the game Until Dawn its even a mechanic implying that what you do to an animal in a narrative will return to you tenfold, like this universal grim fallacy that always comes back
There's another horror movie, _The Invitation_ (the 2015 movie, not the more recent one with that title), where a couple on their way to a house party also with cultlike vibes hit a coyote and have to "put it out of its misery." You're right; this is a common trope.
I am not a horror movie fan (sometimes even watching your reactions for horror movies I haven't seen is too much 🤣) but I LOVE Jordan Peele's films!
You two should definitely watch Jordan Peele's other movies "Us" and "Nope". Both are great, but a heads up that George will probably have issues with "Us". I would highly recommend that you don't try to over analyze it, if you do, you may ruin it for yourself!
Us is an odd one, though, in the sense that the film demands analysis in terms of all the allegory that's loaded into the movie, but you definitely don't want to analyze in terms of actual plot mechanics, and the practicality and such. Its really more of like a surreal art thing than actual horror.
Thats because these movies are not horror movies. They are just long Key and Peele skits
@@rexmundi2986 there’s definitely more allegory in US, but as long as you can suspend disbelief, which you have to do a fair share of in any horror movie, even this one, then it’s a real ride. The first half especially is great at building tension. Loved Nope too. I think that’s my favorite of the three.
"Us" was really good up until the major plot hole at the end, which ruined it for me. "Nope" was just good and cool overall, though I can imagine some people might find it a bit on the slow side.
5:02 "It just 'fruck' us out.." Thats the first and probably last time ive ever heard anyone say that.
Heck yeah. I just rewatched this a couple nights ago.
Amazing Jordan Peele hit a home run in his directorial debut
Your reactions are a perfect reflection of the slow release story-telling in this movie. You're given just enough hints to keep you on the edge of your seat, then as soon as you realise it's a mind-share, he starts fighting back. Lakeith Stanfield is great in this and everything else Ive seen him in. If you havent seen 'Sorry To Bother You', it's another trip of a movie with Lakeith as the lead.
If you watch the sketches that Jordan Peele wrote, there is a lot of psychological things in them.
actually your point about the flash made me realize for the first time that.. the art dealer/wannabe photographer would have been fairly hecked.. like trying to exercise any or both of those activities while avoiding flashes seems impossible? not even counting galas, art gallery vernissages..? he would be escaping left and right huh..
Jordan Peele once said that the difference between horror and comedy is the music.
Omg I'm so glad to see this notification!! I love this movie so much
I just watched three of your reactions in a row and George’s look of utter confusion during every single intro has me dying every time. The Mummy 2 reaction was the most consternated face he could have possibly made.
Just like Back to the future. I love rewatching this movie so many clues to what's happening. We keep a piece of grandma with us. I love this movie.
I love the best friend. Guy is hilarious.
Allison Williams performance as Rose, particularly in the final act make me think she would be an amazing villain in a Terminator movie. Especially considering the original idea was that the Terminator infiltration units were excellent at pretending to be humans until they acquired their target
Lol "Is iron....iron?" is definitely from that podcast 'The Basement Yard' with Joe and Frankie lmao
There was originally a different ending where it was just another cop that showed up instead of his friend, but those who viewed the test screenings thought it was too depressing so they went with the ending we see in the release for some levity and catharsis.
Lol at 25:30ish when Simone says "Nope"!
This movie ages like fine wine. The more I see it the more I love it
The value of lingering on him and the deer is a bit subtle but applies to later. When he reveals that his mom died, but not immediately, but laid there dying, alone on the street.
You also realize it on the rewatch but the reason she didn't want him to show his license to the cop was to leave less of a trail when he eventually goes missing.
I love that in the moment her girlfriend dont need to pretend anymore, she eats her cereal "segregated" from the milk.
The actor that plays her brother, trying to mandingo the protagonist, he played Walter Junior's friend Louis on Breaking Bad.
Vaguely gives a similar feeling to an old Rock Hudson film from the 60's, a thriller called "Seconds" ( story is not the same, but it is about identity ).
I actually really enjoyed his resurrection of The Twilight Zone TV series even though it didn't last long as the original series and it's numerous revivals over the decades have given so many opportunities to writers and performers who went on to great careers and I applaud him for bringing it back for a whole new generation to enjoy and this movie definitely reminded me of a long form Twilight Zone episode
I agree with George. I don't think it relies on jump scares. It has a couple of jump scares because it's a horror movie and it's using its tropes but it doesn't RELY on them; it doesn't depend on them. If you take them out, it's still a very effective and creepy horror film. It's not the jump scares that make the horror here.
I mean, Simone didn't say it relied on jump scares, she just said there WERE some jump scares, and was correct, and then George denied it and said it was her fault for being jump scared by the jump scares :P
That Locked In idea freaks me out as well. When I had some bad blood sugar issues off and on for a few years, I would have these exhaustion episodes where I would zonk out and very frequently partially wake up, where I was locked in sleep paralysis and each time it was terrifying. I can't imagine dealing with something like that long term.
I had similar freakout feelings during the last episode of season 1 of Chucky and the film All Hallows Eve, both of which had scenes with amputations. Captors keeping someone by cutting off their limbs.
That “Run Rabbit, Run” song always gets to me for being so super creepy. 🎼🐰🚫😳 Tim Burton also used it in his “Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children” movie, albeit in a different context. 😁 Thanks George and Simone for another great review! xoxo Christine in sunny Colorado, USA ♥️
The symbolism of him using cotton to free himself when it used to represent slavery (still does to some probably). You should really watch The Menu. It is a mystery/thriller/horror. Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy.
It’s like a horror movie version of Being John Malkovich…
Watching this I thought the woman playing the grandmother was a great actress. When I saw her in the Jack Ryan show I almost didn't recognize her but thought she was a good actress. When I realized where I saw her before I was enthused.
30:33 I agree, the acting is brilliant. What an incredibly difficult role!!
I see how you could see the flash thing as a logic leap. However, if you rememeber from the informational film Chris watched, this procedure was developed a long time ago. So this probably worked better during the time before cellphones and cameras were readily available. Great reaction!!!
Anyway, the potential buyers seem to be millonaires that live in their mansions and don't interact much with the outside world, so it's probably not such a big issue in their everyday lives.
