A Research Analysis on the Movie Entitled Get Out
by Jordan Peele
Introduction
This research paper is a movie review and analysis of the actors and main characters demonstrating cultural diversity of race, class and gender identities. Jordan Peele’s movie earned over thirty million on the first week of its opening and has immediately become a phenomenal hit worldwide. The story focuses on the interracial relationship between Chris known as actor Daniel Kaluuya and Rose, played by actress Allison Williams as he met with the woman’s family. The movie has been categorized as a horror film where there is violence, dread and racist scenes depicting interactions between blacks and whites. Accordingly, in this present time where lives of the Blacks are being fought for, this movie deliberately shows a vision of a wicked nightmare that black lives are being taken advantage of, being treated unfairly, and unjustly mocked or abused with much contempt and indignation. The lead male actor who is black has gotten involved in a sinister plot involving his girlfriend’s family property. “Rose has not informed her parents that Chris is black, stating as well that her dad voted for Obama three times” (Tallerico B). Chris noticed that there was something unusual in the house, considering the demeanor of the groundskeeper, housekeeper and Rose’s brother.

Jordan Peele is a black man married to a white woman hence, his personal issues and convictions had an effect in this movie particularly his prejudices and stand against racism. Similarly, “by the year 1980, the Blacks are represented more in the television screen, specifically in the Cosby Show where a student’s life at the Black College was narrated” (Smith-shomade B.E). Writers and authors have started case studies on the role and authority of television producers who are known to have great influence over the script. In addition, also similar to the movie Get Out is the TV Series ‘Vampire Diaries’ who had a black actress with a character named Bonnie to show cultural diversity and difference. Her strength of character in the series, symbolically represents how the Blacks are strong in their resolve to fight everyday challenges even the extreme persecution against their race. Bonnie was seen to be a part of a prestigious circle possessed with immense power. Each of the characters in the movie Get Out shows the viewers different perspectives and point of view concerning the term "diversity within blackness". Basically, the usage of comedy, satire and irony as was in this case, have challenged several issues on being born Black.
Analysis of the Movie and Significance of the Race, Class, Gender, and Identities of the Characters
In the movie, the racism of the parents of Rose has been clearly seen against Chris, the lead actor who is a Black. He accepted Rose for being white but the family of the latter had savage discriminations against Chris for the color of his skin which is unjust and unfair. “The Black people are diverse in a sense that ...
