“Get Out” by Jordan Peele left me feeling stunned by what happened and the twist of the story. As someone who loves horror movies that escalate quickly, this is by far one of the best movies I’ve experienced. The escalation from when Chris discovered that there was something wrong with Rose’s family always kept me on the edge of my seat. The use of foreshadowing also kept me really intrigued about what’s going on and what’s going to happen. For example, when Chris takes a photo of Logan during the garden party and Logan yells, “Get me out! Get me out!” I felt my heart skip a beat. I immediately wanted to know what had happened to make Logan say that, and I knew something was off about it. Towards the end of the movie I realized the use of foreshadowing was excellent. The part of the movie I enjoyed the most was how Chris escaped and used his strong mindset to protect his ears from being hypnotized. The way Chris was able to use resources around him, such as the cotton in the chair rest, to benefit him was really interesting to me because I always try to use resources around me for better aspects. Another part of the movie I enjoyed was the ending when Chris gets rescued by who he thought was the police but was actually his friend Rob. I think that was the perfect ending because not only did Chris get rescued, but also by his friend Rob, which definitely made him feel a sense of comfort. Happy endings to movies always bring me a sense of joy because they show that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, even though at times it doesn’t feel like it. Chris got out of that situation, even though at times he probably felt like he never would. There was no part of this movie that I didn’t like or would want to change, which for me is rare. I can never find a movie where I am intrigued the whole way because I get bored with movies very easily, but I can definitely say this movie kept me intrigued the whole way. This class is more than what I was expecting. Along with being introduced to new horror movies, I get to share my opinion and insight on what I watched. As a huge movie lover, I love that I am being introduced to new movies that I can share with my family and friends. When my sister took this course during her time at UCLA, she had nothing but good reviews. She expressed how she was able to understand the deeper meaning of movies, which she shared with us. I even watched one of the assigned movies with her, which immediately made me want to take this course because it was so interesting and had such a deep meaning.
