Get out, Review (ENG/SPA)

Hello, Internet people, everything alright? Today I want to talk to you about a film that I thought was quite good, I was pleasantly surprised because lately thriller and horror films are not so good, although with some mistakes, the film is generally good, it fulfils its function and the performances emphasize the quality.

Hola, gente de Internet ¿todo bien? Hoy quiero hablarles de una película que me pareció bastante buena, me sorprendió gratamente ya que últimamente las películas de thriller y terror no son tan buenas, aunque con algunos errores, la película en líneas generales es buena, cumple su función y las actuaciones enfatizan la calidad.

Chris is a black boy (skin colour is important in this film) who is nervous about meeting his girlfriend's family, but once he arrives, he realises that his girlfriend's family is not exactly what he expected... they are hiding a chilling secret.

I think that far from technical aspects (which has very good cinematography and the rest) the aspect that I liked the most was the performances and also the structure of the film. The first thing we see in the film is the emphasis on the character's skin colour (which makes us think precisely that it is important for the plot), the second is that we know that our protagonist has a kind of trauma due to the death of his mother and the circumstances... also, once he arrives at the girlfriend's family home, there are several loose details that help to generate discomfort and suspicion in both the protagonist and the spectator.

The handling of suspense in this film is very well worked, that is to say, we go as the genre usually demands: from the micro to the macro, that is to say that the events start slowly and grow throughout the development of the plot until the climax arrives and finally we reach the denouement. In the case of this film, it has an alternative ending that is unsatisfactory but reflects the criticism that is intended in the film (I won't tell you about it because it would be a spoiler).

All the performances are very good, but honestly the one of our main character, played by Daniel Kaluuya was masterful, his ability to cry is amazing and is one of the most difficult emotions to convey, the rest of the cast did a very good job as they managed to look disturbing although the scene "did not require it" I mean for example the scenes at the party that was supposed to be an event to be happy, the dialogues and performances very out of place achieved that feeling that something was wrong, that something did not fit. I loved it.

The last thing I can say about this film is that I liked how the racial criticism was represented, that difference that we know still exists in countries like USA between whites and blacks, even something curious is that in one scene, an Asian man makes a racist comment to Chris and makes us think "in USA Asians are not also part of a minority? "But as strange as it may seem, we can see the Latino who is racist with another Latino, etc., so I feel that the criticism was very well worked in a subtle way in this kind of scenes, or more graphic or explicit in the whole plot of the film (I can't be more specific without giving spoilers).

And well, people, that's all for today's post, I hope you liked it. Thank you very much as always for supporting my work, I welcome new readers, I love you all very much, I send you a hug and I'll see you in another post.
