Of course, white people are extremely goofy, this could just as easily be a film about getting tricked into going to a Christian pizza party.

I like that this is literally a Mondo Voodoo movie, if the races (and potentially sexes) were flipped you'd have a great trashy 60s freak-out movie about a white kid joining a beatnik black commune. It's too bad it's not a more idiosyncratic movie on the whole, it's got John Waters all over it (Chris is Penny Pingleton and even has the same oral fixation). Of course, part of the joke is that it's an "acceptable" movie and looks like every bland Edward Sharpe-scored romcom for boring white teenagers - flat, warm, and unobtrusive. The 2.35 frame was awkward and ugly, though. The 2001 reference was cute. Alien presence thrusts its concept of evolution and "betterment" on the unknowing savages. Dig that ironic 30s song, and Chris's Starbucks apartment. ThePlague-Daemon posted:Why is it that whenever people disagree with SMG's reading of a movie, the immediate claim is that nobody before then bothered to interpret the movie? That's usually not the case, and it's definitely not the case here. SMG's "thing" is presenting his opinion as fact and being extremely standoffish (K Waste as well, but not as intense and with more bro phrases). edit: i like how the ending credits are prefaced by the title, so the movie literally tells you to get out Magic Hate Ball fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Mar 17, 2017 |

The gremlin exists in the diegesis of the episode, but it also represents the actualization of itself.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Again, there is a concerted effort to render Chris apsychological and apolitical. People believe Chris does not have fantasies. It's frankly a bizarre objectification. I don't know how anyone could think that after seeing his goofy millennial yuppie fuckboy apartment.

If this were Mulholland Drive, the last thirty minutes would be Chris having a panic attack at the party and lashing out - all that's missing is a literal burning bridge.

The mechanized conspiracy is just a literalization of the idea that those in power are consciously out to get those who aren't, which is not usually true. Most of the time, these people are just hapless dinks who think they're being super nice but don't realize they're selectively cannibalizing other cultures.HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Critical Race Theory would say that there are particular ways black people (and black men specifically) are commodified. What critical race theory would not say is that commodification is exclusive to "white brains" and "black bodies", because that's essentializing. That's Yakubian wokeness. That's Red Pill Philosophy. e.g., the poet literally wants Chris's eyes because he thinks his photos, which he literally hasn't seen, have "soul".

RCarr posted:I think he just doesn't want to be blind anymore. I'm pretty sure he actually says "soul", which is the "magic spice" white people assume black people bring to art. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:His conclusions are motivated by belief and nothing more. Despite the fact that the program "works", he could've just gotten an eye donor. Armitage's program is ideological with a very thin scientific premise. Otherwise, why the direct reference to Videodrome? It's flavor of the month appropriation. ruddiger posted:It's a magic/ghost story ala the Twilight Zone. Peele already pointed out that the ending of the movie is a fantasy because the way it was originally written was too dour because it reflected the real world too much. Well, then it just would've been a remake of Evening Primrose.

It's much more deeply hosed up that the only way to become a successful person is to become white (which is pretty literally true) than it is to become white - becoming white is just a symptom of a more troubling illness.

DeimosRising posted:Peele also already wrote another movie that's extremely concerned with how middle class African Americans relate to "authentic" ghetto Blackness. It's played for laughs but there's a lot of tension in Key and Peele's scenes arguing about whether they ever say "nigga" or listen to the "right" music. And that kind of stuff comes from things like microaggressions and cultural assumptions - if you're too far off the mark from "normal" people will treat you differently. Get Out is just the maximal version of that experience, and I see it all the time in the gay community. If you're too wispy or femme or whatever in a public setting or around people who have power over you, you'll be treated like scum, so people put on a closeted face because acting like that actively devalues you, even among people who are really nice and well-meaning. There's a million examples, and the way "normies" act in lockstep absolutely feels borderline conspiratorial. It's the same with women with ambiguously gendered names being treated differently over email vs the phone, or the things thin people say to fat people when they think they're being helpful, or the massive difference in the way a "passing" trans person is treated vs someone who successfully blends in, and these are all symptoms of a sick culture.

SMG's always been kind of bad at discussion, his posts are distant, declamatory billboards.RCarr posted:When he is talking to him through the TV right before the procedure he literally says "I want your eyes, man." Because his eyes have "soul", that black MSG, which he deduced from a photograph he's never seen. It's like a white band hiring a black guy and saying "yeah, we really just want your soulful sound" - it's just another gag but it ties in nicely.

ruddiger posted:I work on a television show about trans teens and it blows my mind how ultra-macho people start talking when they're in my edit bay while I'm working on it. People get easily riled when something unfamiliar threatens what they view as "normalcy" and we as Americans are indoctrinated with that mindset at such a young age, it's hard to break out of that cycle when you're older, even if you're a progressive and "should know better". Ask anyone in a visibly distinguishable underclass and they'll have a story like that, usually with similar signifiers, which really underlines the "pod people" feel.

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:yeah sorry, it's been a long day and my brain is fried. No, it's just funny because a lot of the circles being talked in this thread are around something that's pretty basic to satirical films, and it feels like there's this panic over the phraseology of something so simple.

The green light is both a functional deterrent of boats and a dream symbol representing Daisy's maddening out-of-reachness, as well as the overall extremely visible inaccessibility of the upper realms of American society to American citizens.

I also love how they dressed Logan up as an old person, complete with boater hat (the most racist hat). Big props to the costume department on this.
