About a type of cult - not religious. Just a movie. However, about had several earmarks of a cult. Mind control, falsely making friendship for gaining sex slaves, willing to kill, even slaves willing to kill, false fronts.
Many, after one finely discovers a cult, one can spot others, of any kind, more easily.
The transferring of one person's consciousness to another person was the most interesting aspect to the movie - I thought anyway. All in all a great movie with a new twist on a few different issues and the horror genre.
While I didn`t mind the movie per se and sure it had the cult spectre about it I certainly wouldn`t nominate it for best picture for 2018 Academy Awards and I really don`t see how it relates in any way to the JW religion.
But hey that`s just me.
We go to the cinema quite frequently and I would have to say 'Get Out' was one of the most disappointing films of last year. It is basically a satirical commentary on the reverse-racism of liberal, middle-class America.
It was clearly going to get nominated by the virtue-signalling sycophants of the Academy.
That should read "liberal, middle class WHITE America."
Virtue-signalling irks me, too.
I said me too; LOL.
Smiddy, I believe anyone from Oz or Kiwi Land would have a problem "getting" the real thrust of the movie.
I thought it was ok, nothing special. Not particularly original, either. The premise was essentially a rip-off of "Stepford Wives".
Yeah, KS good comparison to Stepford Wives. The political aspect is just silly it was a cheeky little horror movie plain and simple not shakespeare.
I agree the best picture nom is a stretch and a half.
I saw it the other night. Thought it was terrible. The two lead actors were excellent in their roles as boyfriend girlfriend.
I have seen different versions of the same story dating back to to 1956 and The invasion of the body snatchers. '
A small-town doctor learns that the population of his community is being replaced by emotionless alien duplicates.
How in the world is Get Out anything having to do with a cult?

Most people I know loved that movie. I didn't. I'm just sick and tired of that racial shit that's going on in USA. Why on Earth do I want to watch more of that crap and pay for it.
I wouldn't say it has a parallel with a cult at all. Unlike in a cult, the black people in the movie were not brainwash by persuasion; they were surgically altered to serve white people. That's not exactly how things happen in a cult.
