"Get Out" won best original screenplay?

[Rev. Rye]

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.

Yeah, I've been a fan of Daniel Kaluuya since he was on Psychoville, and playing the protagonist of 15 Million Merits on Black Mirror. Sadly, he hadn't done a lot since 15MM, except for playing Emily Blunt's partner in Sicario, bizarrely underutilized if only because A) He's the cop protagonist's partner, and B) he's the only consistently decent person in the cast in a story about how Emily Blunt's going from a decent cop to a morally bankrupt one like Josh Brolin. Fortunately, the one-two punch of Get Out and Black Panther has rectified that.

About the allegory, maybe ask some of your black friends (or maybe acquaintances if you don't have any full-on black friends) or just look on the Internet. The Internet might be more in-depth.
