The greatest in-theater experience I've ever felt was the collective bloodlust against the white family at the end of Get Out. It was glorious. Never again will I hear massive cheers as a black man bashes in the head of a pretty white woman attempting to scoop out his brain. Felt like we were in a riot. Granted this is a perfect example of Mark Fisher's idea that capitalism can co-opt revolutionary energy and sell it back to you etc etc.
My favorite part of seeing Get Out was overhearing an old white lady say to her friend
"What was that even about?"
And that was the moment I realized a few things
Important things
That's the exact face I made to my friend Bong too
The end when the cop showed up and the theater collectively gasped and let out "Oh no"'s was one of my favorite theater social experiences of all time. It delivered the exact feeling Peele wanted to deliver. In any other horror movie, the average movie goer would have a "thank goodness they're here" feeling, but in this movie, it elicited the opposite reaction, and we all had that realization at the same time lol. chef's kiss
It was such an amazing moment tbh. The dread that set in, the realization of like "ooooohhhh fuck" and then the relief.
