The current ending of the movie is perfect. When the police car shows up, the audience knows instantly what's about to happen, and then it doesn't happen, and it's exhilarating. It's a pure Hitchcock moment. And this was his directorial debut? Damn.
Really excited to see whatever he makes next.
But you know what exactly happens right? Our main character dies. She survives...
David Dutton 👏🏾
Get Out had a budget of $4.5m and has grossed over $250m worldwide. I'm so happy for his success. It's well deserved! Now, he'll be afforded even more creative freedom on the next project.
Apparently, you identify with the villains in the movie if you feel that way. If the shoe fits...
If they can keep this momentum going, Jordan, Dee Rees, and Greta Gerwig could start a new generation of groundbreaking filmmakers. Tarantino, The Coen Brothers, Spike Lee, and Richard Linklater are aging out, and Scorcese is like the last left of his generation.
+MrSnow1961 It's not anti white, it's anti racism. I am white, and when I watch the movie, I don't distinguish by race. I identify with Chris, and I want him to get out, and I want to see the villains fail. Because they are clearly bad people, irrelevant of their skin pigmentation.
+MrSnow1961 They're bad people because of how they behaved. Would you say that their behavior was normal? No. I hated the family, and I identified with Chris, and that's because of their behavior, it has nothing to do with skin colour.
and you are very ignorant the skin color wasn't attraction of the movie, the family itself was batshit crazy discovered a ground braking brain transplant method was only fueled by the fact that the grandpa felt jealousy against black people becase he lost the olympic against one and rather than admitting defeat he blames genes as to why he didn't won, wanting to be black to get better "genes" was nothing to do with racism infact the last guy didn't care about the color he only wanted to be able to see again. If racism is all you saw and you couln't get on the shoes of the main character because villians are wuite and main is black the you are a very simple minde individual.
Jordan's mind is so attractive to me. He's so intellectual and intelligent while being charming and witty. He knows how to switch between them. I love that about him. Im proud to call myself a fan, watching him in key and peele, going to see keanu in theaters (and loving it) and now seeing such a wonderful change into the creation of this movie and all the meaning behind it. I am finding out just how genius he was all along, although their comedy was nothing short of it. So wonderful to see his journey and look forward to seeing more. Love you jordan !!!
He's Intelligent ...there's a lot of us lol
you poor confused thing
K TAL “Joran’s mind is so attractive to me” ok now you sound exactly like one of the white people in the movie.
lmfaooooo
"He's so intellectual and intelligent while being charming and witty. He knows how to switch between them" I like how you put this! Every interview with Peele is a delight, I feel he has some Oscar Wilde to him haha
It was a good movie. We need more directors like him, I'm tired of the same McDonald's recipe from other directors.
you stole my book
I've only ever known this dude from his comedic work on MadTv. Kinda cool seeing him now as an awesome director. The guy deserves every bit of praise he gets and then some.
Totally agree! I feel daft, because at first I did not make the connection of Madtv and Mr. Peele, and I was like "What"??? Very talented man.
No we don't he sucks
@@HO-os8ry How? This was just his debut, and IT WAS AMAZING! tf you on about
Can we congratulate Jordan on this glow up please. A sketch comedian to world acclaimed director/writer winning awards and making moves 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
falloutgirl902 💪💪💪💪💪
I just want the sketch comedian glow up.
The number of uncomfortable smiles says it all.
tdreamgmail Thought I was the only one who noticed
I don't think so. These are all great writers that have seen the movie and could recognise the brilliance of it. Plus it's possible they cut out some of other people's comments to focus this video only on Jordan
not at all. It is appreciation
Ben Harper How do you know they were impressed? I dont see much body language that shows that
250 million reasons why they looked uncomfortable...
Of all the writers at this table that I admire, I hope Jordan Peele wins Best Screenplay for "Get Out." It's the perfect melding of function and form, the idea of showing racism through the lens of a genre horror movie is downright genius and it absolutely was the movie that was needed at the moment it came out. Is it a comedy? A horror movie? Both? Who cares, it's just a great great movie.
It'd be nice, but look at last year. I mean fucking Manchester by the Sea won over The Lobster, which was in the same situation as Get Out. Sadly oscar bait is too strong, but hey there are always exceptions!
I want greta gerwig to win for lady bird
I think he will win the best director as well
Original, really!! Come on, it's a modern spin of the 1975 film The Stepford Wives". Look it up, it does exist.
HE DID IT
In my opinion, the happy ending ties it all together as a horror satire. So many movies just take the easy way out and kill the characters or leave the ending open. He’s right. When the cop car pulled up at the end, I thought he was gonna go to prison. I envisioned the original ending, and was relieved that it was just his friend.
Yeah, I agree. The only thing I would say differently is that when the cop car pulled up at the end, I did _not_ think that the main character was going to go to prison. I thought he was about to be shot dead! I was *immensely* relieved and pleasantly surprised that we got a happy ending! I would like to see more tense movies end in a more satisfying way.
This guy inspires me - as a writer... it's not an easy thing to tackle racism
Alex Xolo He did it so good.
The only racism that is hard to tackle nowadays is racism that black people have towards other races. Cause no one actually gives a shit when black people are racist towards whites, Hispanics,Asians, etc
what struck me about "Get out" was that to me it conveyed the experience of being black in a predominantly white population similar to having social anxiety/paranoia (except it's not all just in your mind). Expecially the scene in which the protagonist walks upstairs ad all the partyguests turn around and look at him in the exact same moment. I wasn't sure at that point, whether that was the reality of the scene, or just in the protagonists mind, but it reminded me of my paranoid thoughts as an anxious kid and even though I'm white, I felt like I had caught a glimpse into what it must sometimes feel like to be black.
well why dont blacks just live with other black people?
I'm so glad Jordan Peele wrote this kinda movie. I love it to the fullest!! ❤️🙏🏼🔥
Jordan is literally the only black person at the table
Dood Bro he's mixed
Acute observation, your 20/20 Dood Bro. Who else should be there?
Dee REES. Director of Mudbound.
Not sure what your comment means, he is clearly black. You can be a black person of mixed "race," most African Americans are because of our history. Lord have mercy, GET WOKE.
Gera Anderson I have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Because I was implying Dee Rees should be there.
Best film I’ve seen in a long time.
Movie is amazing. Lots of people telling it's overrated because they are jealous and they are afraid because their favorite director film is behind by get out
Harsh Parmar I hope that’s sarcasm lol
Alvaro Elias Of course lol, do you need a /S everytime? Lmao
I sincerely hope that the original comment was sarcasm too, the opposite would just be sad
And I know people that are the same way. It’s hard to distinguish.
If u didn’t like American History X you’re just jealous that blacks get stomped out by whites.
Lol
love these roundtables...very inspiring
Recently re-watched Get Out and man does it still hold up. In fact, I enjoyed it even more than I did when I first saw it in theaters.
Amazing writer and visionary, loved the film and his thoughts about it.
To say kudos to him he did a really good job on bringing something alive that no one else had really thought about
This is going to be a great roundtable. Cant wait to see it all!
A very talented young man. So funny yet even smarter. Congrats
Genius. So inspirational!!!
I rewatched get out for a second and wow it’s amazing how much better it is a second
Why don't y'all upload the whole roundtable???
Luis Diego Cano Torrecillas They will, eventually. These are just teasers lol I know the short snippets can be annoying though
Because awards season hasn't started yet. The full round tables will be up sooner than later.
Feb. 18 on Sundance TV??
Wetting our whistles!
It’s called a snippet
Jordan Peele is a talented guy.
Did anyone else get a chill when he said the as a filmmaker, it’s his job to develop a protagonist and bring the audience ‘behind their eyes’? Poor, poor Chris 😞
Freshly done watching this movie for the first time. As a white dude in the middle class, I loved every moment. It’s scary to think about that fact that, although this is a dramatic version of some black peoples thoughts of how white people view them, there is a gigantic group of HUMANS that live their lives terrified of how they’re going to be treated in a room or setting full of people that wear a different color than them.
Super happy Jordan Peele pulled this off. Our country, and the world, needed to see this. Even though there will be plenty of close-minded people that take it as a personal attack on their kind. Very cool. Very thrilled for Jordan and could not be more excited that this could open up a door for more movies bringing to light a very dark, and very real problem.
You’re such an idiot
Wow. Even in this setting, it looks like Jordan is in his own film!!
You just reduced all the admiration that transpires across the entirety of this video solely to the skin color of its participants.
Fatih Akin is on this panel!!! Can't wait to see the whole roundtable.
from the second he started murdering the white family i was pretty sure this could only end with him being the black dude who killed a white family, getting sentenced to jail.
Aster and Peele in face to face is just so powerful
Interesting Interview
A lot of you are commenting that it shouldn’t be categorized as a horror film. But think about being a black person watching this movie and immediately noticing all of the micro aggressions that we experience everyday. They sounded off like alarms. Things as small as her dad saying he would have voted Obama in for a third term. Completely out of place and unnecessary to say. I mean black people experience these subtle micro aggressions from white people all the time. The auction where they are auctioning someone off like property. This is not just a scene to make the movie go by. This is how slaves were sent to different plantations throughout the country, by being auctioned off like the property they were treated as. The buying and selling of organs. ILLEGALLY. This is actually happening in the world where black bodies are ending up found without body parts. And missing a liver or a kidney! It’s TOO REAL. This movie could’ve only been written by a black person because anyone who is white would not experience these things. The truth and the immediate identifying with this protagonist, (and what he experiences) amongst black people is the true horror. It deserves the categorization.
Great comment
Hey whatsup can you help me understand why black people feel offended by for example saying that about Obama or saying I love michael Jordan or any other famous black person? To me a person saying that could only be trying to make conversation, Im not black nor do i have a culture or race that I truly identify with, so i don't understand what that feels like (to receive one of those micro aggressions as you put them) thank you
Dear Ashley That's Me microagression....jesus christ
valdie91285 lol.......
+Ninjawaffle its good that you're asking that question. You should check out Quora for more in-depth answers about this. im a white person (make that clear from the get-go) and ahhh if you are talking about those people, Jordan/Obama with a black person because Jordan/Obama are black then you are essentially saying to that person 'i am identifying you by your blackness first instead of as just a fellow human being. Get to know someone maybe they have a different perspective than you because they are black yes and maybe its also because they are a teacher or a journalist or an artist. What is also important to remember is you don't need to have a lot of shit in common with people to have a connection or even a good conversation.
Saying you love_______ or _______ who are black is not "hey look how similar we are(/ might be) im into what you're into" in reality, you have just presumed someone's interests based on the color of their skin.
Yes Obama the first black president is important to black people and yeh Jordan is super popular and represents, but if you cant talk to a person without deliberately naming people whom you know share their culture, then maybe you shouldn't be talking with them until you learn better conversation skills and do more research on racism.
My advice to you dude is to watch a lot of different films a helluva lot of ted talks, reading lots of books( take notice of who is the author and why they have the perspective they do). Basically, figure out what you like! figure out yourself and learn about others, empathy is everything. Learn about the world and talk to a lot of people, lots of different people of different professions and nationalities and skin colors, religious beliefs, food preferences, music tastes oh and don't be a racist and don't be sloppy. Keep being curious though! the world is a brilliant and terrifying beautiful place and you have the ability to be a part of that hopefully in a good way. Just be curious and don't be racist. Now go forth and quora and reddit.
Well versed... Well played.... The Men we know. Hats off to you Mr Peele
Very talented man!
I can feel his discomfort as the only person of color at this table. I can also feel their discomfort with the subject matter.
I'm not so sure about that, Jordan Peele is half white. In fact, he was raised by his white mother. Perhaps in other situations, I can understand how he'd be uncomfortable in a room full of white folks, but he seemed fine at a table with 6 of his peers discussing film.
I know he's half white. I also know that America still uses the One Drop Rule. If you have one relative of sub-Saharan African descent, you are legally classified as black. His driver's license says "Black" so does Tiger Woods' license. Besides, most whites don't care if you're half white. It's not good enough for them. They will still treat a biracial person like a black man.
Assuming that I'm a failure who's lazy and waiting for a handout is a racist, stereotypical assumption in itself. I was honorably discharged from the military. I have a master's degree, and I work full-time, making $50k per year. I also speak 2 other languages fluently. However, if you want to make the bigoted assumption that I'm a stereotypical black male, then you're the problem, not me. You're not putting me in the sunken place.
Ben Harper what an ignorant and unnecessary reply....smh...
Ben Harper Not at all when it’s genuine and also FYI, I AM a proud veteran who served for 10 years. The “way” you segued into that “compliment”, is what makes us Vets annoyed and feel as if you’re saying it to make yourself feel better. Obviously it was your cruel, racist ad hominem attack that I was referring to as UNNECESSARY.
guys gotta listen when we say we dont want stephen gallaway!! amazing pannel though
I WISH THR would just upload the whole videos already!!
the fact that Jordan is the only black people on the table blurs the line between the film and reality :D
why exactly?
I thought the same thing ! I instantly saw the parallel 😆
I never knew it was categorized as horror.
HE IS THE SCREENPLAY WRITER?i AM WATCHING THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW!!!!
Oh no not Galloway again.
"This is a well-crafted story." Oh, yeah, I wrote it.
Flying High You're triggered simply because he praised and complimented himself?
Reevaluate your life. FUCKING LOL
My new favourite movie director. And he only has one movie under his belt.
Lol Jordan Peele's Easily The Most Talented Person At This Table!
Jordan Peele is a great director.
Every time I watch him i feel like he's still playing a key and peele character
I honestly didn't "like" the movie the first time around...but after a second time all the subtleties I missed added up
Great movie
Jordan Peele is a genius.
I don't remember a movie called Wake Up. It's more like The Stepford Blacks really
Jordan wrote, directed and coproduced GET OUT. It made $250M worldwide. Why isn't he mega rich? The internet says he only worth $12M when after GET OUT that should be $50M! What kind of shit deal is that?
Can't wait for Aronofsky 😎
Such great content, but so low views...
The Round Table is the most profound education platform with a Black Leader/ Educator...
Obba Babatundé says "Self praise is no praise."
This movie is a combination of “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and “Deliverance”
I like the alternate ending..
Because I feel like it's closer in relation to Reality
My question is, did he make this because he had a message and now he's done, or will there be more horror films?
He's almost a revolutionary facts
I tried to like this twice
Nooooo Galloway is back
My question is why did Rod have a difficult time convincing black investigators that something was happening?
jordan peele is a mastermind
this is a remake with a modern spin of the 1975 film The Stepford Wives". Look it up, it does exist. Can't believe no one's see's that.
A comment about six above this one mentions the Stepford Wives, actually. Jordan himself has openly admitted that it - along with "Rosemarys Baby" - was a big influence on "Get Out".
Argo Portraits Actually lots of people have seen that, including Jordan Peele himself, dude...
This man is literally sitting on a scene from his own movie!!!!!!!!!! Jordan Get Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:45 I thought it was Mr Bean
Point Blank tho he needa help others make movies this great. More please
Haha Aaron Sorkin is Christopher Nolan's twin.
I have to say he really accomplished bringing the audience into the movie through the protagonist.. After the film I felt black for a moment
He's so fuckin smart
Dam look at their faces when he is talking.Wow!!!!!
Ben Harper Like you!
Ben Harper Hahahahaha you little woman.
Ben Harper Corny.
Get out must win! Any category that it's nominated! It just cannot walk out of the Oscar with nothing. It's simply impossible. The movie was so good!
Yasss✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
Oh shit is that fatih akin!?
I dont like them sitting in a circle around him looking at him crazy in a dark room
Okay WOW THR y'all telling me that you can only find 1 woman in hollywood who writes? Here are some female writers which films already comes out AT LEAST in festival circuit this year and gain recognition: Sofia Coppola (The Beguiled), Tracy Oliver, Karen Mccullah, and Erica Rivinoja (Girl's Trip), Angela Workman (The Zookeeper's Wife), Dee Rees (Co-writer of Mudbound), Chloé Zao (The Rider). I'm sure there are many more that I miss. So please, get more women writers who deserves recognition on that table!!!!
Unfortunately, the Roundtable only reviews Oscar contending writers. Aside from Dee Rees, all those writers you mentioned are not Oscar contending. If its all men that are Oscar contending, THR can't do anything about it.
A is Here - And Greta Gerwig? Would she not be eligible for this table considering she wrote Lady Bird? She is director too of course, but so is Peele so she could sit on both imo.
A Is Here That comment is ignorant. First of all, Coppola is an Oscar winner, second, the Oscar nominations aren't even out lmao. Oh and also, they're more than five, and there's only 5 nominees for original writing
+And I
I don't give a fuck about Coppola. I don't give a fuck about whether or not she's won an Oscar. I'm specifically talking about writers that have or haven't started to pick up steam amongst critics awards circles. That places them in "Oscar contention". Coppola's a tremendous writer and director, but she isn't in contention this year. It doesn't matter that the nominations aren't out. Do you think that Coppola will receive a nod? She probably won't, that's why she wasn't here. The whole process involves selecting actors/directors/writers etc who received acclaim for their work this year, and thus will be "in Oscar contention" dumbass.
A Is Here That's not true, inform yourself before ridiculing yourself imbecile
I’m so FUCKING PROUD OF HIM ❤️👏🏾
1:56 Peele: "White people are the villains at the movie....."
White guy in glasses: (leans forward) damn... You can feel the tension building up......
Oof
He kinda shifts his story about why he wrote it in his interviews as that film got more attention.
Get Out was much better than anything Black Mirror had to offer in Season 4 on a different note. Great film.
He looks like lord farquad
They pist with this black king 😂😂
Not an horror story. Horror for those who don’t know the real story behind this movie.
U know I watched this movie and I was like
What is this movie like supposed to tell me? That all white people are racist? and than I watched an interview with JP in which he said that get out is about the fact that eventhough we have a normal accepting society
There still is racism in this world
So I was like
Ok true I understand now and I think its a great movie
All this and the globes still nominate get out as comedy lmao
fuck yeah Fatih Akin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THR roundtables ought to be more ethnically diverse.Past THR uploads include P.Almodovar, M.Haneke but that is just not enough!
yup last year they had mira nair at the directors roundtable but i never except THR roundtables to be diverse as they are mostly american centric films which is okay!
Jordan GET OUT NOW!
I hope he gets the oscar
At least for best writing, Guillermo Del Toro should get the Best Director award in my opinion.
Joseph Dutra shape of water was trash
I disagree, but I respect your opinion.
I was blown away by get out
Especially since peele made it
Why do all of these other people sat at this table look like they're thinking of buying Jordan Peele? Get out!
Darnell Jackson what the fuck is up with you
Darnell Jackson wow homie! You’re literally frightened by white people!
Darnell, you fool, Jordan Peele's brain was replaced by Bill Hicks back in the 90s. That's the only reason any black comedians are successful. Hell, Richard Prior had the brain of Lenny Bruce. True fact.
I only saw Megan in the beginning
I liked it but I feel like I need to tell all black people that I know nothing about hypnosis now.
Anyone else scared for Jordan, right now?
No.
Is this writers or directors one?
writers
I think both, because Aronofsky is the writer/director of mother!, Peele same with Get Out and Sorkin with Molly's Game.
Definitely writer cause there's Emily V Gordon
S/o Jordan peele. But that hairline distracting tf outta me 😂
well mr peele epic fail
Good fiction that perpetuates the fiction of racism and racial stereotypes.
Love Peele, but there has been some hypocrisy from his side since this movie came out. Only respect, just what I’m noticing.
2:21 This comment , the timing of it, in the context of what the director was saying before is racist.
Re the ending: "The audience does all the work (so I can have my cake and eat it too)".
No, they mostly didn't (yes, you can have that illusion). All you have to do is look at most comments and reviews to see that most people celebrating the movie didn't understand the bulk of it. And that ending was typical Hollywood happy ending bullshit. The subtextual comments about racial divide were so on the nose that those congratulating themselves for "getting it" are the most condescending, arrogant viewers of all. Like the whites at the garden party in the movie, except I'm seeing lots of minorities in America being every bit as arrogant and divisive about the movie's obvious messages.
