Ist jeder, der eingeladen ist, auch wirklich willkommen?
Der afroamerikanische Fotograf Chris und seine weiße Freundin Rose sind seit mittlerweile fünf Monaten ein Paar. Als Rose ihm ihre Eltern vorstellen möchte, stimmt Chris wohl oder übel zu, auch wenn ihn die Sorge umtreibt, wie Roses Eltern auf den schwarzen Freund ihrer Tochter reagieren werden. Doch zunächst erweisen sich Chris’ Bedenken scheinbar als völlig unnötig: Dean und Missy bereiten den beiden einen herzlichen Empfang und scheinen sich an der Hautfarbe des Partners ihrer Tochter überhaupt nicht zu stören. Doch dann entdeckt Chris, dass die schwarzen Hausangestellten der Familie nicht nur die einzigen Schwarzen in der ganzen Umgebung sind, sondern auch seltsam abwesend und untertänig wirken. Irgendetwas scheint hier nicht mit rechten Dingen zuzugehen…
Gesamte Besetzung von Get Out
Daniel Kaluuya
Chris Washington
Daniel Kaluuya delivered a career-defining performance as Chris Washington in Jordan Peele's socio-political horror film "Get Out." His portrayal was both nuanced and powerful, capturing the complex emotions of a young African American man navigating the treacherous undercurrents of a white liberal community. Kaluuya's performance was a masterclass in subtlety, as he conveyed fear, suspicion, and anguish often without words, relying on his expressive eyes and facial gestures to communicate the mounting dread of his character's predicament. His ability to oscillate between the warmth of Chris's initial ease and the chilling realization of the sinister truth behind his girlfriend's family's hospitality was riveting. Kaluuya's work in "Get Out" was not just captivating; it was a statement on the black experience, showcasing the alienation and the silent scream of a man fighting to maintain his identity and autonomy in the face of a grotesque and insidious form of racism. His performance rightfully earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, cementing his status as one of the most compelling actors of his generation.
Caleb Landry Jones
Jeremy Armitage
Caleb Landry Jones delivers a chilling and unnerving performance as Jeremy Armitage in the critically acclaimed horror film "Get Out." His portrayal of the young, seemingly affable brother of the Armitage family is a masterclass in subtle menace. Jones imbues Jeremy with a volatile energy that simmers just beneath the surface, bursting forth at key moments to destabilize the already tense atmosphere. His erratic behavior and wild-eyed stares hint at a deeper malevolence, and his interactions with protagonist Chris Washington, played by Daniel Kaluuya, are fraught with an undercurrent of threat. Jones's performance is a crucial element in the film's exploration of racial tension and the horrors of cultural appropriation, as his character's aggressive curiosity and violent outbursts exemplify the film's themes of predation and oppression. His ability to switch from a facade of benign eccentricity to overt hostility keeps the audience on edge, making his role as Jeremy not just memorable, but a pivotal component in the film's success in blending social commentary with suspenseful horror.
