Controversy

Chris and Rose in Get Out

The film has won many honors, but it will inevitably be criticized. Some viewers think this movie is too privileged for white people, and white people are always so bad.

"I don't care if this actually an entertaining movie or not I find it atrocious that anyone can support such outright racism. It's blatantly pushing a racist stereotype agenda against white people. But no you can't be racist against white people we're "too privileged" I've heard as an excuse"[2].

"White people are bad in everything, why do they always have to be the victim?!?!?" My goodness, calm down. You're acting as if no other race/ethnicity is ever portrayed as the villain. If I complained every time the only Hispanic in the movie was a drug dealer, gang member, or the help, I'd lose my breathe. Some of you need to stop trying to play the victim card when you know it isn't the same. You're not the victim. You're not being oppressed. You're not underrepresented. STOP."[3]

But despite all the critics, this movie actually caused the problem of modern slavery. This shows that the slavery of blacks to whites has not stopped in the past, but has continued to the present. Director Jason Blum said that we can use various genres to introduce people to very important information. "If you can make genre movies that make the world a better place, that's a good thing."[4]
