As mentioned in the Chapter 10 “Genre” lecture, typically, Science Fiction films – graduate researcher

As mentioned in the Chapter 10 “Genre” lecture, typically, Science Fiction films “invite us to catalogue our culture’s major anxieties” while “appealing to our consciousness” and thereby revealing a “desire to recapture lost innocence.” For this discussion, you will watch “The Philosophy of Get Out” and “Get Out Explained: Symbols, Satire & Social Horror,” then write (a minimum) of 250 words about what/how Jordan Peele attempted to convey his anxieties/fears as an African American in a contemporary U.S. by employing symbolism and metaphor to appeal to the audience’s consciousness?
For this Discussion, you DO NOT have to respond to your classmates.
Please be aware (conscious) of ethnic, racial and gender sensitivities and do not generalize and/or stereotype any group in any way. Simply make an ‘objective’ observation (meaning, no personal opinions for this one) of what the video author and the director assert.
