For one reason or another, I didn't see "Get Out" until several months after it was released. I felt like I missed something by not paying close attention to the small details, so this time, I was determined to do so from the beginning. The very first image on the screen when US begins is of a television commercial. But in the left part of the screen, there is a shelf with videos. Those videos were titled: Man with two Brains. "Tuesday Nite" (handwritten), The Goonies, and C.H.U.D. Somehow, these would figure prominently in the movie.
Despite my promise to myself, before long, I was lost in the story. And that's fine. A movie is supposed to be relaxation and a bit of mindlessness. I remember being a bit surprised that we were carried along so quickly.
My husband has often said that he considers a movie as "good" if he continues to think about it for days. Sudden thoughts about the plot popping into my head are also a good indication for me that I like a movie.
One of the first "after-effects" about US is that I began to wonder, how was it, exactly, that Addie knew how to get to the underground area? Once she went back to Merlin's Forest, she went right to the door and followed the maze down to where the Tethered lived, without faltering. And as a young child, she couldn't speak once she returned. Why? Because none of them could speak! She had to learn with time. The only reason Red could speak was because she was Addie!
I suspect it's going to take several days for me to work out all these issues. I think it was a very good effort by Mr. Peele and I look forward to the next one.
