[@Fabricant451] Oscars aren't exactly something I hold in high-esteem. Suicide Squad won an Oscar... [@Dynamo Frokane] Because someone that says they don't care for it, immediately hammer on a racial point, or points out that "it's about someone." Kind of reveals the film's hand/purpose don't it? ;D But, no not really. If we avoid the semantics, putting the word "hamfisted" on the side, it's because I've seen enough about it without needing to see it. Or do I have to watch the Amazing Spiderman 2 myself, because you never know until ya see it? Or can one smell "a message" being the sole "strength/crux" of your movie from a mile away and when it's confirmed with outside media, be smart enough to avoid it. Again, even if I agreed with whatever message it tried beating me [i]subtly[/i] over the head. Like just read some of the IMDB reviews... People who rated it a 10 or highly. (highest rated ones too, for the record) "This film physiologically well expressed Caucasian's minds in the US society in post Obama era." "There are no "monsters" here. The real villains are entitlement, egotism, and objectification, and god they are scary!" "Get Out" doesn't replace the scares with humour – Peele is too smart to do that. Instead, he balances the fear with laughs and then laces [b]everything with social comment...[/b]" "Then of course there's the brilliant ways that race and the black experience make it into the film." *Don't make me look for more things* Ignoring that most IMDB reviews aren't written well. You're allowed to love that *everything is laced with social commentary*. Even if I agreed with the point of it, and assuming what I've read about it, I would. But again, at best, it's preaching to the choir. I don't really care for comedy in my horror. Even if I like a few Key & Peele skits, I don't really want it in a horror movie. (Same reason I didn't like all the disjointed comedy moments shoved into Halloween, for that matter.) It didn't look interesting from it's trailers, and nothing I read about it changed my mind... [i]*If a message or theme is remotely subtle, every single positive IMDB score will likely -not- mention exactly what it was about and what it stood for. With no differences in interpretation, because it was never meant to be taken any other way by the audience*[/i]
