I have selected the movie Get Out because it is an entertaining horror movie from the comedian and producer Jordan Peele. The film brings up the topics of race and interracial interactions. The give rhetorical analysis is aimed to identify the methodologies, which are used in the Get Out to entertain and inform the audience about the perspective of African-Americans. Although the movie possesses a satiric feature and exaggerates the realities of interracial interactions, it illustrates how one ethnicity can be overwhelmed by the hostility of other ones.
The main plot of Get Out revolves around an African-American man Chris, whose girlfriend, Rose, invites him to meet her family. This Caucasian family turns out to be highly hostile towards other races and places their consciousnesses into the victim’s body through hypnosis. Chris gradually realizes that he is in danger and then escapes the house, which results in the death of Rose’s family. Although the movie shows the events from an African-American man’s perspective, its target audience is Caucasian people. The purpose is to show the exaggerated and satiric version of the realities of a minority. It is important to note that the movie puts White people as antagonists and villains in order to demonstrate how peculiar and stressful for Black people to interact with Caucasians.
In conclusion, the movie Get Out is a horror satire directed by a comedian Jordan Peele. Its main purpose is to illustrate an exaggerated reality of interracial interactions from the African-American person’s perspective. The primary target audience of the film is Caucasian people who can observe the intricacies and challenges that are experienced by a Black person when he/she communicates with them.
