Just finished watching Get Out (2017). I did not like this movie at all. I felt it spent the entire runtime making the statement that all white people are racist. Wasn’t even subtle about it.

I thought it was strongly against the insidious racism of liberals but made no comment on white people as a whole.

I'm white and liberal and think that the film makes a good point before it goes full on horror.

There are no positive white characters in it right? But then, I feel like there are plenty of action or war movies, say, where there are no positive coloured characters. Or, say, there's a good black person against hordes of evil brown people. To me Get Out seemed a lot like some black left wingers I know think about white liberals. It is definitely hyperbolic I think. But makes a fair point. I'd like to see a similar film dealing with white left wingers, who I don't think are innocent (contrasting white supporters of the Maduro regime with Venezuealans who actually suffer it, say), but I think we're a ways from that yet. As a white person in general it didn't bug me. I am sometimes bugged when coloured or left wing people in the media criticise all white people, but Get Out seemed ok to me.

Personally I'm not that in to racial or otherwise "right on" politics in horror films. I love stuff that's psychologically or philosophically thought provoking, but I think that the horror genre is fundamentally limited in its use for really committed, topical stuff. Ultimately horror films are there to horrify, rather than really discuss or analyse.
