"Get Out" Jordan Peele Peals Opens Social Commentary & Suspense

Jodan Peele (b Amer 1979) is arguably one of our most talented comic writers with a racial agenda that causes chagrin.  As part of the comedy duo Key and Peele, the two took comedy sketches to a playing field that resonates with courage like Jackie Robinson first playing in the National League.  So, despite having our 1st black President, why do so many racial hurdles and taboos prevail?  The fact that Peele, an actor, screenwriter & director has lambasted racial stereotyping and bigotry with laughter is cause for celebration & alarm.  "Get Out" is a gelling of several memorable movies & genres:  "Guess Whose Coming to Dinner," "The Stepford Wives" "The Body Snatchers" and "Abbott & Costello."  What Peele has amazingly accomplished is to tackle bigotry while combining intense sci-fi fright with a little levity to create a monster of a hit that delivers on every pitch.  Rose (a convincing Allison Williams) is gaga over her boyfriend, Chris (British actor Daniel Kaluuya whose incredible in the role) whom she's taking for a weekend visit to the parents for the first time.  Did I mention Chris is black?  Even, Chris wants to know if her parents "know I'm black?"  You'll never guess, but Rose's parents Dean (Bradley Whitford) and Missy (Catherine Keener) seem non-plussed although something is slightly awry including Rose's lout of a brother and motley household staff.  There's something amiss with both the black housemaid and groundskeeper.  Chris finds himself in an affluent suburban setting of segregation & suspense.  The suspense & eerieness manages a hypnotic chill that will keep you on edge.  There's an intelligence buried within this film that might pass you by like lightening.  Take note of the Jessie Owens/Hitler anecdote.  The cast is all first rate as is the mix of mostly wealthy, weird white dudes trying to be cool.  Chris' best friend lends the comic relief, if only he'd listen and "Get the Hell out of there."  I'd bolt to see this masterful film with its major jolt to the senses & the conscience.
