I remember everyone proclaiming what a wonderful movie it was. I decided to watch it, and I was disappointed. There was nothing "original" about it. It was just "Stepford Wives" with a cast of black people.
I liked it a lot. I was happy to see Jordan Peele get the award.

Who doesn’t like Forest Gump?! You’re dead inside! 😝
I know, right?? Forrest Gump is my fav movie ever!

I think a horror movie that's a thinly veiled allegory about the bad side of being black in America just hit into the zeitgeist of these racially-charged times. Also, Daniel Kaluuya is an excellent actor who's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
I guess I didn't catch the allegory? I mean, I saw that they made every single white person in that movie evil and racist against blacks, but was there a deeper underlying meaning I didn't catch.
I will agree about the actor. He did a great job.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
