Ralph Ellison on Get Out

The movie Get Out is a horror comedy intended to raise conversations on racial injustice

and sexual harassment. It is about the struggle and pursuit of civil rights of gender and race and

the desire to be regarded as equal human beings and can also be viewed as a documentary.

The film undergoes changes at the end because of its supposedly tragic ending with

Kaluuya’s character being arrested for the murder of his girlfriend (Johan). The original ending

was intended to invoke audiences into racial discussions and conversations but the general

opinion of the public towards the end led to its adjustment. This brings into question the original

intention of the movie and if, through these changes at the end, the intended message and

outcome was conveyed.

The movie has multiple short messages which cannot be noticed easily unless with its

repeated and critical analysis. The different twists to the movie are meant to familiarize the

audience with the key concepts being addressed.

There is a sense of humor and trickery in this movie with the entanglement of Kaluuya’s

character in a conspiracy at his girlfriend’s estate and through the comic cellphone conversations

of Milton.

The movie, therefore, creates awareness in the nature of relationships in the society

between the white and the black. It does not only portray what is experienced in the society

currently but also the extended and continued oppression of the blacks during the ancient periods

and the struggles undergone to achieve equality.

JORDAN PEELE ON BATTLE ROYAL

Battle royal is a short story by Ralph Ellison and its focus is on racial inequity and the

hardships faced by the black community in the society. It is about a black boy trying to survive

in a white society which also signifies the struggles of black people in the society for equality

(Greg). The story is based on a narrator’s memory which may be true or false because it is a

reflection of the experiences of suffering, pain and the humiliation he goes through to achieve his

dreams.

The story has strong philosophical development through the struggle in search for

personal identity by use of deceit and corruption.

The deeper meaning of Battle Royal is portrayed through the elements of plot, setting,

characterization, the point of view, tone, symbol and time. The tone of the story is frank and

thoughtful giving the story a reflective, crucial and definitive edge. Racial awareness is the main

drive of Invisible Man and the outcomes of inequality are seen through the abuse of dignity and

control of the minority by the superior (Greg). The elements of prejudice and ignorance are seen

throughout the movie as the white characters show and demand supremacy by virtue of their skin

color.

The historical struggles, experiences, and understanding of racism require the

acknowledgment of the differences in racial, sex, ethnic and religion and the attempt to reach out

for connections. The movie tries to set out the differences in classes in the society and how each

group is perceived through social worth. It, therefore, encourages a spirit of nationalism and

unity through seeing everyone as an equal and also portrays the division in society through racial

inequity.
