8:06 I like how it initially seems as if she's defending her boyfriend against racial profiling, but once we have the full context, it turns out she was actually trying to prevent a paper trail for when he gets abducted.
I said this same thing on another reaction channel and got BLASTED for it. People called me a “r@cist sympathizer” and ignorant. I haven’t gone back to it but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were 200 additional comments under mine 😂 but yes! This is one of those movies where once you go back and know what happens, you pick up on a TON of little nuggets. Even the intro song “Redbone” is an Easter egg, when you know what that term means historically. Good stuff 🤙🏻
@@tykroner1133 The nonsensical nature of such a reaction is only equaled by your refusal to just type the word "racist." Did the entire world's balls drop off or something?
Hey Natalie! Watching this as a Black woman, the most incredible moment of symbolism for me is that when Chris is trapped in the chair late in the film being controlled by the teacup noise, what ultimately saves him is his ability to pick cotton. He picks it out of the arms of the chair and uses it for earplugs, and the primary activity of slaves is what KEEPS him from having his body enslaved. So, so brilliant.
This is a great insight. Thanks so much for sharing your perspective. As a brown person myself, what stood out to me while watching this movie is how it subverts the white stereo typical idea that the black man is a threat and not to be trusted. In reality, black people are the ones who have justifiably lived in fear - of being racially vilified and treated like second-class citizens in their own country. "Get Out" explores these complex themes in a bold and original way by using the horror genre to reflect back to us the real horrors in our own history and society.
I didn't realize initially that this was a symbolic thing until I saw it explained sometime later. I agree. It's a nice way to tie his escape together. He does what the slaves did in order to set himself free.
37:30. If you remember: When the father was explaining that the grandfather ran in the Olympics and lost to Jessie Owen, they established that he was a track runner. And now that he has the body to run, he was just running whenever he could. He couldn't do it during the day when everyone was there so he did it at night when no one was around. Because he loved to run.
But that doesn't explain why he ran almost directly AT the guy. I think the explanation for that was that the grandfather was getting influenced by the black host body, who was trying to somehow communicate with the guy (forgot his name). Either that or the grandfather wanted to prevent him from smoking a cigarette. 🤷🏻♂️
@@deepermind4884 There was a cut line of dialogue from the ending where Walter tackles Chris and yells "I finally got you Jesse!" To me, that's a sign that he ran right at Chris because he represents Jesse in his mind.
It's more insidious than that. The grandfather is racist like the rest, and Jesse Owens mashed the grandfather's inferiority in his face. The grandfather now lives in a black man's body, running and trying to experience the same physicality as the man who beat him.
so many great "easter eggs" or sly nods to the plot in this when you go back and watch. The "black mold" in the basement, Georgina being the "piece" of the grandma they kept there, the fact Chris has to pick cotton to allow for his freedom, the granddad being a runner in the Olympics, Rose separating the colored cereal from the white milk, the "hope I don't get chased off with a shotgun" line Chris says at the beginning to Rose... just so many cool things.
I saw somewhere that Jordan Peele had never planned on the symbolism of rose keeping the pure white milk away from the colored cereal. Until he saw the theory, or someone pointed it out to him. And he loved it. He had just been thinking this is the creepiest way to eat cereal
Also, pre finding out what was going on, Rose wore incredibly colorful shirts, and even her face seemed to have color in it, but after we find out, completely white clothes and her face has even gone pale seemingly. :(
At a certain point when Chris is trying to fight his way out of the house, Rose's brother grabs him from behind and Chris is unable to stab him effectively with the knife. What Chris did was kinda brilliant. He tries to open the door which forces Rose's brother to push it shut, exposing his leg to be stabbed. It happens so quickly, but I only picked up on it after Nat's first viewing.
when Rose uses the deer rifle to "hunt" down Chris symbolizes how she has always been this hunter of sorts for the family to hold as almost trophy types to show off just like the deer head on the wall. Also, when Chris uses the deer head its literally and methaphorically showing how the "deer" can fight back.
Also the father at the very intro responds to their deer accident saying the deer are out of control and need to be killed. Historically in the American era of slavery black men were called “bucks” (male deer). That particular metaphor is one of the most blatant in a pretty metaphor heavy film.
@@VonPatzy And that is why you shouldn't refer to dollars as "bucks" because a slave at some points was worth a dollar.. If the slave was larger and worth the value of 3 slaves for example, they cost 3 bucks.

20:47 - Smile fading then crying was the first sign that the original conscious was coming back to the front. 21:01 - "ohhh, nooo, noo, no", was the grandmother talking to her, forcing her consciousness back down and retaking control of the body. Great piece of acting by Betty Gabriel..!
I think it's also how you would expect a stereotypical 50's housewife to act. Of course she's in the kitchen, serving drinks, cooking and cleaning for everyone, how yuck for everyone lol
@@V_4_Versace Do typical stereotypes housewife still have do serve the whole family when DIL is also there? Honest question because I'm not English/American.
I saw this in theaters, and the crowd exploding with applause when Rod shows up in the cop car was insane. Even bigger than when Captain America held Thor's hammer.
The original ending had the cops being the ones to show up instead of Rod and Chris ended up in prison for murder. They actually filmed that ending and showed it at test screenings, but Jordan Peele decided not to go that route.
wild that Rod was still in the script with that ending, because to me the final film has such a textbook-level perfect slam dunk ending that it feels like you can't have Rod in a script that doesn't end that way.
Peele said the reason he chose not to go that route is because people were starting to become more aware of systemic racism as not only was Trump the president at the time, but people were already sharing videos of police brutality online.
I like actor Stephen Root, he plays the blind art gallery owner in this film and he also played a blind character in O' Brother Where Art Thou, he was the man who ran the radio station.
The scene where Rose sits eating Froot Loops and drinking milk while listening to music and surfing the internet for her next victim is strangely terrifying.
@CraftyLuna Jordan Peele said that wasn't intentional, he thought it would just be extra weirdness to have her eat cereal like that. But yeah it definitely works metaphorically
Whether intentional or not, there is also the symbolism connecting to the modern alt-right/white nationalist movement, who would chug milk in videos as a display of white pride, and the Proud Boys requiring the naming of several breakfast cereals as they get jumped in as an initiation.
Easily one of my favorite reactions of yours. The primal almost gutteral screams and shouts of approval as he gets his revenge were just delightful, and so relatable.
One of the theories was that the officer at the beginning was actually good and was trying to ID Chris because they potentially knew something was wrong in the area. So Rose “defending him” was just to save herself/family from being caught.
An officer (may depend on the state) can request to see your id, you have the option to decline. Especially if they don't have probable cause. This is more about practicing your rights, because if you don't, then you will lose them. That being said, I like your theory better.

@@WiseGuy770 - The one constant about Peele, unlike the tropes others fall into, is you're never going to see the movie you thought you were going to see.
@@CrowTRobot I watched Nope and didn't 'feel it' like with this movie. For me, Jordan is really gifted at telling stories from the perspective of people who feel like they're on the fringe of society and how they perceive their struggles. But for me I find I only enjoy them if I can identify with some part of the movie and that didn't happen for me in Nope. Doesn't mean it wasn't a good movie but just that it didn't resonate like this one did.
I was so excited to see this notification!!! AHH!! Post-watch: Definitely recommend watching this a second or third time. There are SO many hints and hidden things leading to the ending that make the film that much more enjoyable. Also, side note, apparently Jordan had a more "realistic" ending planned, which went along the lines of what you thought was going to happen (with the red and blue); I'm very happy he gave this official ending instead. It's like, a breath of fresh air. Much appreciated.
I just love how aggressively you were cheering for Chris! It's a testament to how great the movie builds up the tension and payooff and I LOVE reliving these moments that I also had, watching for the first time~ Hooray for Natalie Gold videos!
The grandfather running was a nod to the father saying in the beginning that he ‘almost got over it’. When the father is giving a tour of the house, he says of the mother ‘we like to keep a piece of her’ in reference to the kitchen, right where the grandmother was standing. Also funny that Chris managed to save himself from the effects of the teacup by picking cotton…🙃
Lots of intricate details in this one. Like when the cop asks for his licence and the girlfriend makes a scene, it's not because she thinks the cop's being racist, it's to hide his identity (in case someone files a missing person report)
All of your reaction videos are wonderful but this may be my favorite. Your energy, insight, shock, amusement, and clever comments are all on-point. You are fabulously entertaining on this one. I've re-watched this several times already. You've made this now-classic film even more fun and interesting. Thanks.
You watch it after you have already watched it and thats why you know everything? Is that what you mean? Thid gal is a fraud. And her laughs are forced and fake. And she always looks to her right when she laughs. Checking to see herself in a mirror to validate how real it looks.
this is the kind of movie that deserves a rewatch to spot all the hints, like when the father shows the place around to Chris, and when arriving in the kitchen he says that his mother loved her kitchen so they kept a piece of here in it WHILE GEORGINA IS STANDING IS THE DAMN KITCHEN OMG
@@guillhermecamargo7576 wtf? 🤣 it’s nothing like Skeleton Key, why because it has switching bodies & African American characters? The stories couldn’t be more different, the many facets of modern racism didn’t even play a part in that film at all, white people weren’t even the antagonists

@@uhuhuh1966 lol so true, my favorite scene in the movie is where the women is talking about how she actually wanted a Black couple but they never stay in the haunted house long enough to be possessed haha
Jordan Peele has quickly become one of my favorite modern directors. Get Out is probably his best but I loved 'Us' and 'Nope' is my personal favorite of his. I hope you get to check those out in the future if you don't get to watch them this year.
One of the greatest. Also, scary, but not SCARY scary, it's an amazing introduction to horror and has a great commentary on racism and social mores. Such a great film!
When I first heard Peele was doing a movie called "Get Out" I really thought it was going to be more tongue and cheek; then I saw and it scared the shit out of me. It just validated all that old conspiracies from uncles chatting at family picnics. In the slave days I believe they referred to black men as "Bucks" so that stag head on the wall might also have that symbolism. Him being a trophy buck, didn't think about it until you pointed out how prominent it was in the scene. Allison Williams was terrifying. Also just realized she is drinking the milk without the fruit loops so the colors don't mix. As a product of miscegenation this makes me laugh but also hurts. Fucking ouch. If you're black it is kinda horrific the whole time :D Great commentary throughout, you made me see some shit miseed.
An incredible career arc for Jordan Peele. Starting out as a comedian and then becoming an Oscar-winning writer/director of Horror films (he won Original Screenplay Oscar for this). I also love his recently released film NOPE (2022). I'd love to hear your thoughts on Key and Peele sketches (which he did in collaboration with Keegan Michael-Key). Their valet sketches (especially GAME OF THRONES S1-4, Batman, and Iron Man) remain my personal favorite.
You should also watch “Ready or Not” it’s not quite horror, but definitely has some horror elements, it’s also funny and thrilling and a wild ride like this movie
@@ravissary79 its a parasitic relationship between viewer and creator. the viewer views them as a close friend while to the creator, theyre nothing but one of thousands.
First time I saw this movie, it literally had me on the edge of my seat from the very first scene all the way to the end. Can't remember the last time a movie gripped me that tightly. Terrifying.
I'm pretty much always swamped in work and assignments but your videos always lighten my day and give me a release for stress! And I'm super excited to see you watch this movie!
the "I would have voted for obama a third time" line is so funny with behind the scenes context. The actor didn't even realize it was supposed to be a satirical line, apparently. He thought that it was a genuine, normal/good thing to say to a black person, unprompted like that.
Your reaction to the ending was great and also exactly what they hoped for. Jordan Peele has talked about how his originally written ending was what you and most of the audience feared as we watched, that the police pull up and arrest Chris for killing a bunch of white folks, and they were going to have Rod visit Chris in prison and have a similar but with a totally-opposite-tone "I told you so" talk. But Peele and the producers eventually thought that was too depressing and that it'd work better with a happy ending, so they pulled the TSA/cop car twist precisely to elicit the type of reaction you had. It's so great.
LET'S GOOOOO NAT, omg this movie is literally a masterpiece and it never gets old! i think i've watched every single reaction of get out possible on youtube lol so happy you finally watched it!
I highly recommend that you submit to your patrons "Train to Busan". This South Korean zombie film is considered one fo the best films in its genre. I has multiple characters that you feel empathy for, character arcs, and is very different from the typical US gory , mindless zombie film. It also has a great child actress, Even skeptical zombie film connoisseurs who view this film love it.
i just came across your channel, and i’m binging all of your videos! so to explain the groundskeeper running: remember that was grandpa who got beat by Jesse Owens. and the dad said he almost got over it. jordan peele did an interview where he explains how he’s running at night as “practice”. at the end he was going to have the character say “i got you jesse” but he thought it would be too much
If you want your heart crushed than watch the alternate ending. It's, unfortunately, more realistic to today's world and depressing af, but super impactful
I'm so glad they changed it. This movie really needs to be viewed multiple times to catch everything but if the alternate ending was the real one it would really not be a movie I'd want to re-watch
FUN FACT: the alternate ending has the cop from earlier arrive at the house & arrest Chris. Chris is in prison for all the murders while Rod attempts to prove his innocence.
There are so many little details that stand out on repeat watch once you know what's up. Such as: 1. The girlfriend didn't want the officer to run Chris's ID because it would be a paper trail of Chris going to their home. 2. The grandfather was running because he (as a white man) was beat by Jessie Owens. He runs because he never fully got over it, like the dad said. 3. Georgina saying, "I don't answer to anyone." She is the grandma, she's the matron of the house. Also ties back to the scene where the dad is giving a tour of the house and says "We still keep a bit of her [his mother] in the kitchen" and it immediately reveals Georgina in the kitchen. 4. Chris saves himself from the teacup sounds on the TV by literally picking cotton [from the armchair]. The original ending was supposed to have the actual police show up and end on Chris in prison. When it was shown to test audiences, it didn't sit well because it was "too real". Considering this came out in 2017 when racial violence was on the rise, Peele changed it so Chris wins.
I remember watching this for the first time and genuinely was so creeped out by the mystery and the unbelievable multi layered acting. This film is genuinely masterful. I’ll never forget my first watch and the feelings I had.
Most people miss it but when Rod is looking up the Andre Hayworth info you see a pic of him and a little bit of Rose hugging him,they only show a little part of her in the photo with him but she's there, he doesn't catch it either,a masterpiece of film making
I have only seen this film four times but I am still discovering new things. 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.
Jordan Peele actually filmed an alternate ending you can find and watch where it was actually a cop that shows up and the movie ends with Chris in prison lol Also lol at Nat, "She's eating the fruit loops like a psychopath! To be fair, I've done this.." 🤣🤣😂😂
EASTER EGG!: The separation of the milk and froot loops resembles how segregation was with white people (milk) and black people (they also refer to us as colored people… which is stupid)
Rose is eating the "colored" cereal separately from the white milk. Gotta love that touch. Also her stone-faced phone conversation with Rod, and her smile as Chris is choking her to death. Girl was the perfect psychopath. Truly the craziest member of her family. The work Allison Williams does in the second half of the movie is legendary.
Great experience in the cinema. Still remember me and the rest of the audience howling at the end when his friend showed up 😅 Great on a second watch too when you get to pick up all the little easter eggs and meaning behind all the symbols like him "Picking" the cotton to save his life (Plus many man others, including the music choices).
Watching you react to this is exactly why I love horror movies so much... they don't have to be gory to take you on a fun ride. Hope you watch some more spooky ones soon, this was awesome!
Natalie, please watch for this spooky season either the haunting of bly manor or midnight mass I would love to see your reaction and analysis of both shows
Are you going to watch The Haunting Of Bly Manor or Midnight Mass this Natmare season? They're the other 2 spooky shows made by the guy who made The Haunting Of Hill House.
New subscriber here from Montana and I totally love your channel. One thing I totally caught onto was the fact that when Chris didn't kill Rose, he left her to die alone on the side of the road just like how his mom died.
Jordan Peele just knocked it out the park with this one. When you finally know why everything is happening, it all makes sense. Walter, Georgina, the deer, the abduction at the beginning etc. So good! PS: Natalie teared down and said ''she's a good girlfriend'', how ironic lmao!
Also a fun fact... they shot the ending where the cops do show up at the end and Chris goes to prison for the murders. The happy ending is much better. You can see the original ending on the Blu Ray deleted scenes.
I really love this movie. I watched it several times already, and made a couple of friends who are not fans of horror watch it with me. It's just brilliant.
only halfway thru, but crazy how you SNIPED a lot of what was actually happening, like someone "trapped inside" the groundskeeper, or Georgina "waking up" in her body.
I watched this film in a cinema without knowing anything about it. Not even that it was a thriller. What a surprise that was! A fresh, different film, clever, captivating. I love it when that happens 😊
A detail I love in this film: when Chris is trying to leave the house the brother stops him and uses a his Lacrosse stick as a weapon (a sport historically meant to sow peace between two tribes, is now used for war between each other, with the early bragging of his feats with the sport and the fact it's the plastic aluminum version of the stick) shows they already assimilated the ideals and culture of another race, but just haven't done the brain transplant yet. Idk I'm Mohawk and know alot about the meaning behind Lacrosse as a sport, so I kinda see that as what that means in the film, he could just be swinging a Lacrosse stick.
8:06 I like how it initially seems as if she's defending her boyfriend against racial profiling, but once we have the full context, it turns out she was actually trying to prevent a paper trail for when he gets abducted.
Holy shit!!! That never even occurred to me…. But now it is so blatantly obvious…

This reminds me of the old meme with that Mexican futbol manager turning super saiyan after a special goal. How turnt he got - that was Nat today.
Dammit don't say possessed XD
This movie is so smartly planned. Things that seem to happen for one reason have a completely different reason after the twist. It’s so damn good.
Jordan Peele is a Genius
@@WiseGuy770 - The one constant about Peele, unlike the tropes others fall into, is you're never going to see the movie you thought you were going to see.
@@WiseGuy770 I can't stop thinking about Nope. Movie is god-damned brilliant.
@@CrowTRobot how is it brilliant?
@@CrowTRobot I watched Nope and didn't 'feel it' like with this movie. For me, Jordan is really gifted at telling stories from the perspective of people who feel like they're on the fringe of society and how they perceive their struggles. But for me I find I only enjoy them if I can identify with some part of the movie and that didn't happen for me in Nope. Doesn't mean it wasn't a good movie but just that it didn't resonate like this one did.
Daniel Kaluuya is such a convincing actor. His rage and sorrow in Black Mirror made me cry.
I was so excited to see this notification!!! AHH!!
Post-watch: Definitely recommend watching this a second or third time. There are SO many hints and hidden things leading to the ending that make the film that much more enjoyable.
Also, side note, apparently Jordan had a more "realistic" ending planned, which went along the lines of what you thought was going to happen (with the red and blue); I'm very happy he gave this official ending instead. It's like, a breath of fresh air. Much appreciated.
The cop car lights flashing at the end was seriously the scariest part of the movie. You get such a massive feeling of dread. Which says so much.
I just love how aggressively you were cheering for Chris! It's a testament to how great the movie builds up the tension and payooff
and I LOVE reliving these moments that I also had, watching for the first time~
Hooray for Natalie Gold videos!
The grandfather running was a nod to the father saying in the beginning that he ‘almost got over it’.
When the father is giving a tour of the house, he says of the mother ‘we like to keep a piece of her’ in reference to the kitchen, right where the grandmother was standing.
Also funny that Chris managed to save himself from the effects of the teacup by picking cotton…🙃
Idk how she didn't get this. She slow.
@@_VISION.stfu nobody is dissecting the movie as their watching it it’s after the fact ppl realize all the Easter eggs
Lots of intricate details in this one. Like when the cop asks for his licence and the girlfriend makes a scene, it's not because she thinks the cop's being racist, it's to hide his identity (in case someone files a missing person report)
All of your reaction videos are wonderful but this may be my favorite. Your energy, insight, shock, amusement, and clever comments are all on-point. You are fabulously entertaining on this one. I've re-watched this several times already. You've made this now-classic film even more fun and interesting. Thanks.
Natalie is me when I watch ANY horror film. Glad to know I’m not alone.
Natalie is me when Chris starts his rampage on the family.
You watch it after you have already watched it and thats why you know everything? Is that what you mean? Thid gal is a fraud. And her laughs are forced and fake. And she always looks to her right when she laughs. Checking to see herself in a mirror to validate how real it looks.
this is the kind of movie that deserves a rewatch to spot all the hints, like when the father shows the place around to Chris, and when arriving in the kitchen he says that his mother loved her kitchen so they kept a piece of here in it WHILE GEORGINA IS STANDING IS THE DAMN KITCHEN OMG
Nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Original Screenplay!
@@guillhermecamargo7576 wtf? 🤣 it’s nothing like Skeleton Key, why because it has switching bodies & African American characters? The stories couldn’t be more different, the many facets of modern racism didn’t even play a part in that film at all, white people weren’t even the antagonists
@@guillhermecamargo7576 I wouldn’t call Skeleton Key a great movie it wasn’t really about anything lol just a gothic setting and jump scares. We disagree because your claims are flat out false
@@guillhermecamargo7576 you’re right, it is okay 😂 it’s great actually
@@guillhermecamargo7576 Lol I hate when people are wrong and instead of just admitting it they deflect and try to make you seem crazy and combative. I'm talking about you btw. You are wrong and should just say that.
@@uhuhuh1966 lol so true, my favorite scene in the movie is where the women is talking about how she actually wanted a Black couple but they never stay in the haunted house long enough to be possessed haha
Jordan Peele has quickly become one of my favorite modern directors. Get Out is probably his best but I loved 'Us' and 'Nope' is my personal favorite of his. I hope you get to check those out in the future if you don't get to watch them this year.
One of the greatest. Also, scary, but not SCARY scary, it's an amazing introduction to horror and has a great commentary on racism and social mores. Such a great film!
Agree. This one is more suspense than horror but it's still brilliant. Nope fucked me up though, that movie is disturbing.
When I first heard Peele was doing a movie called "Get Out" I really thought it was going to be more tongue and cheek; then I saw and it scared the shit out of me. It just validated all that old conspiracies from uncles chatting at family picnics.
In the slave days I believe they referred to black men as "Bucks" so that stag head on the wall might also have that symbolism. Him being a trophy buck, didn't think about it until you pointed out how prominent it was in the scene.
Allison Williams was terrifying. Also just realized she is drinking the milk without the fruit loops so the colors don't mix. As a product of miscegenation this makes me laugh but also hurts. Fucking ouch.
If you're black it is kinda horrific the whole time :D
Great commentary throughout, you made me see some shit miseed.
An incredible career arc for Jordan Peele. Starting out as a comedian and then becoming an Oscar-winning writer/director of Horror films (he won Original Screenplay Oscar for this). I also love his recently released film NOPE (2022).
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Key and Peele sketches (which he did in collaboration with Keegan Michael-Key). Their valet sketches (especially GAME OF THRONES S1-4, Batman, and Iron Man) remain my personal favorite.
You should also watch “Ready or Not” it’s not quite horror, but definitely has some horror elements, it’s also funny and thrilling and a wild ride like this movie
Samara Weaving is so AMAZING! Her acting was on point.
The Hunt is good as well
nat’s “You, YES YOU!” is the closest ive ever been to a parasocial relationship.
It gives me tingles in the same way ASMR does. i have no clue way.
Is that like a social relationship that jumps out of airplanes?
@@ravissary79 yes don’t look it up that’s exactly what it is
@@ravissary79 its a parasitic relationship between viewer and creator. the viewer views them as a close friend while to the creator, theyre nothing but one of thousands.
@@assssdaw3443 You realize he's joking, right?
All of the acting was great, but "Georgina" - Wow! Just superb!
First time I saw this movie, it literally had me on the edge of my seat from the very first scene all the way to the end. Can't remember the last time a movie gripped me that tightly. Terrifying.
I love the fact that pretty much everyone agrees that the way Rose eats cereal is the creepiest thing in the entire movie.
Would be awesome if you watched the other 2 Peele films too. They are both great and unique in their own way
Nope was trash bro
@@tomsmith8006 Hell no. Best and most unique out of the three
@@tomsmith8006 Wrong! It's good!
@@ShadowStunts Nope was good. But I wouldn't call it the best. Tbh each was great in it's own way. 3 different sub-genres of horror.
@@MoneyGist I just personally felt it was the most unique out of the three. the creature itself really stood out to me. never seen anything like it
Natalie: gets mildly startled through the whole of the movie
Also Natalie: is deeply disturbed by a grown woman eating froot loops the hard way
Honestly that part of the film had me the most uncomfortable 😵💫
I'm pretty much always swamped in work and assignments but your videos always lighten my day and give me a release for stress! And I'm super excited to see you watch this movie!
the "I would have voted for obama a third time" line is so funny with behind the scenes context. The actor didn't even realize it was supposed to be a satirical line, apparently. He thought that it was a genuine, normal/good thing to say to a black person, unprompted like that.
Yes, the train to NOPE begins. That was the funniest reaction to the running scene I have ever seen lol.
Your reaction to the ending was great and also exactly what they hoped for. Jordan Peele has talked about how his originally written ending was what you and most of the audience feared as we watched, that the police pull up and arrest Chris for killing a bunch of white folks, and they were going to have Rod visit Chris in prison and have a similar but with a totally-opposite-tone "I told you so" talk. But Peele and the producers eventually thought that was too depressing and that it'd work better with a happy ending, so they pulled the TSA/cop car twist precisely to elicit the type of reaction you had. It's so great.
Absolutely love you appreciating the other actors in this. They all nailed it.
“They’re playing bad mitten over there, that’s a nice little white touch”😂 I lol’d
It is SO much fun watching this with you.
im going through my weekly chemotherapy session right now and this automatically made it so much better, thanks natalie ♥
Get well soon!
You got this!
Stay strong ❤
You've got this!
This reaction was so good! This film is very well made!
'Take her spoon away' & your reaction to the cup smashing was brilliant 😂😂
The actress playing Rose was terrifying in this. That soulless, empty expression on her face. She did a very good job.
“Get Out” is the greatest documentary ever made. Glad you decided to watch this.
The scream you gave at the end.....happened in my theater from EVERYONE....it was amazing lol
LET'S GOOOOO NAT, omg this movie is literally a masterpiece and it never gets old! i think i've watched every single reaction of get out possible on youtube lol so happy you finally watched it!
I highly recommend that you submit to your patrons "Train to Busan". This South Korean zombie film is considered one fo the best films in its genre. I has multiple characters that you feel empathy for, character arcs, and is very different from the typical US gory , mindless zombie film. It also has a great child actress, Even skeptical zombie film connoisseurs who view this film love it.
When I first saw the sunken place in the theater I knew this movie would be a classic this shit was one of the best movies of the 2010s
I feel so giddy and fluffly inside when Nat says the "especially you... YES, you". It's so sute and lovely and nice
lol same!
i just came across your channel, and i’m binging all of your videos! so to explain the groundskeeper running: remember that was grandpa who got beat by Jesse Owens. and the dad said he almost got over it. jordan peele did an interview where he explains how he’s running at night as “practice”. at the end he was going to have the character say “i got you jesse” but he thought it would be too much
This is one you have to watch again to get all the references Jordan Peele put through the whole movie! 💚🖤
Gosh I LOVE how excited you got in the end while Chris was escaping! It’s definitely the best part!
If you want your heart crushed than watch the alternate ending. It's, unfortunately, more realistic to today's world and depressing af, but super impactful
I'm so glad they changed it. This movie really needs to be viewed multiple times to catch everything but if the alternate ending was the real one it would really not be a movie I'd want to re-watch
"She's eating cereal like a PSYCHOPATH!!! .... I mean, to be fair, I've done this.... but she's eating them like a psychopath!" hahaha
When the party goers arrived for the party, they were all in black cars. White inside Black. Symbolism at its finest.
I also watched this movie like last week and man it's amazing. Jordan Peele is a great director
I've watched so many reactions to this film. Wow wow wow yours is by miles the best. You were really there. Wow.
FUN FACT: the alternate ending has the cop from earlier arrive at the house & arrest Chris. Chris is in prison for all the murders while Rod attempts to prove his innocence.
Just discovered your channel today and I’m genuinely so glad I did. Love your vibes.
There are so many little details that stand out on repeat watch once you know what's up. Such as:
1. The girlfriend didn't want the officer to run Chris's ID because it would be a paper trail of Chris going to their home.
2. The grandfather was running because he (as a white man) was beat by Jessie Owens. He runs because he never fully got over it, like the dad said.
3. Georgina saying, "I don't answer to anyone." She is the grandma, she's the matron of the house. Also ties back to the scene where the dad is giving a tour of the house and says "We still keep a bit of her [his mother] in the kitchen" and it immediately reveals Georgina in the kitchen.
4. Chris saves himself from the teacup sounds on the TV by literally picking cotton [from the armchair].
The original ending was supposed to have the actual police show up and end on Chris in prison. When it was shown to test audiences, it didn't sit well because it was "too real". Considering this came out in 2017 when racial violence was on the rise, Peele changed it so Chris wins.
I remember watching this for the first time and genuinely was so creeped out by the mystery and the unbelievable multi layered acting. This film is genuinely masterful. I’ll never forget my first watch and the feelings I had.
Love your videos! Keep pushing through the spooky stuff because your reactions are so entertaining!!
Most people miss it but when Rod is looking up the Andre Hayworth info you see a pic of him and a little bit of Rose hugging him,they only show a little part of her in the photo with him but she's there, he doesn't catch it either,a masterpiece of film making
Natalie is such a sweetheart and makes really enjoyable content
I have only seen this film four times but I am still discovering new things. 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.
I think everybody noticed that bro 😅
Jordan Peele actually filmed an alternate ending you can find and watch where it was actually a cop that shows up and the movie ends with Chris in prison lol
Also lol at Nat, "She's eating the fruit loops like a psychopath! To be fair, I've done this.." 🤣🤣😂😂
EASTER EGG!: The separation of the milk and froot loops resembles how segregation was with white people (milk) and black people (they also refer to us as colored people… which is stupid)
Best reaction I have ever seen! 🤣 Even more entertaining than the movie.
OMG! I’ve been waiting for Nat to react to “Get Out”! There are few movies that I feel are perfect for her but this is one of them! 😂
Kratos? Are you excited for November?
@@haileewilliams i know i am
@@jizou1581 same! I'm not leaving the house once I get it 💀
"It was so dark I couldn't see but I think that was Lakeith Stanfield."
I actually coughed up m food when I heard this.
🤣
Rose is eating the "colored" cereal separately from the white milk. Gotta love that touch. Also her stone-faced phone conversation with Rod, and her smile as Chris is choking her to death. Girl was the perfect psychopath. Truly the craziest member of her family. The work Allison Williams does in the second half of the movie is legendary.
the director said that there was no deeper meaning with that. it was just something weird with her character he wanted to put it.
The non-verbal acting work in this is just mind blowing.
You really gotta see "Us" after this because it will make your head explode.
Calling Missy a pervert is top tier comedy 😅
Lol absolutely loved your reaction girl haha thank you. Cheers!
I think a movie that would be absolutely wild to react to us Sorry To Bother You.
Just an amazing, vintage Natalie reaction!!!! Absolutely loved it!
Nothing Better Than Snacks + Reactions🍿
Great experience in the cinema. Still remember me and the rest of the audience howling at the end when his friend showed up 😅
Great on a second watch too when you get to pick up all the little easter eggs and meaning behind all the symbols like him "Picking" the cotton to save his life (Plus many man others, including the music choices).
Us is absolutely a movie you should watch this spooky month. Or whenever. It’s a very good movie! 😊
Watching you react to this is exactly why I love horror movies so much... they don't have to be gory to take you on a fun ride. Hope you watch some more spooky ones soon, this was awesome!
Natalie, please watch for this spooky season either the haunting of bly manor or midnight mass I would love to see your reaction and analysis of both shows
There is an alternative ending available as a bonus if you watch this on DVD. Both are good.
Are you going to watch The Haunting Of Bly Manor or Midnight Mass this Natmare season?
They're the other 2 spooky shows made by the guy who made The Haunting Of Hill House.
His next one, The Midnight Club, is coming out on Netflix later this week! 🎉🎉🎃
New subscriber here from Montana and I totally love your channel. One thing I totally caught onto was the fact that when Chris didn't kill Rose, he left her to die alone on the side of the road just like how his mom died.
I’d love to see Nat react to “Midsommar”.
Edit… Ok, Never mind. I guess she’s already seen it.
Jordan Peele just knocked it out the park with this one. When you finally know why everything is happening, it all makes sense. Walter, Georgina, the deer, the abduction at the beginning etc. So good!
PS: Natalie teared down and said ''she's a good girlfriend'', how ironic lmao!
Instant classic. Jordan Peeles audio commentary on the Blu Ray is incredible and a very fun listen.
Also a fun fact... they shot the ending where the cops do show up at the end and Chris goes to prison for the murders. The happy ending is much better. You can see the original ending on the Blu Ray deleted scenes.
I really love this movie. I watched it several times already, and made a couple of friends who are not fans of horror watch it with me. It's just brilliant.
only halfway thru, but crazy how you SNIPED a lot of what was actually happening, like someone "trapped inside" the groundskeeper, or Georgina "waking up" in her body.
its not that hard
@@TolgaCO guess i was oblivious my first watch
The way your heart drops at the end when you see the police lights flashing.. Brilliant!
This needs a rewatch already Nat, attention to detail was a must for this one! One of the best movies of all time!
Brilliant film, great reaction.
I watched this film in a cinema without knowing anything about it. Not even that it was a thriller. What a surprise that was! A fresh, different film, clever, captivating. I love it when that happens 😊
This movie is very clear with its message and on the nose cause its a message people NEED to see VERY clearly
A detail I love in this film: when Chris is trying to leave the house the brother stops him and uses a his Lacrosse stick as a weapon (a sport historically meant to sow peace between two tribes, is now used for war between each other, with the early bragging of his feats with the sport and the fact it's the plastic aluminum version of the stick) shows they already assimilated the ideals and culture of another race, but just haven't done the brain transplant yet.
Idk I'm Mohawk and know alot about the meaning behind Lacrosse as a sport, so I kinda see that as what that means in the film, he could just be swinging a Lacrosse stick.
