Get Out is one of my favorite movies from 2017. Spine-tingling moments, perfectly insane antagonists, it has everything a sarcastic, satirical horror film could embody. The man in the picture, Chris, is basically kidnapped and used by a wealthy, white family. They exploit his attraction to a girl in the family, and eventually break him down to physically use his body for themselves. As sick and disgusting this sounds, the film strikes at how this somewhat does appear in society today. People say we live in a nation where white and black are finally equal. Whether it be blacks from the ghettos, whites from the high-class communities, apparently we now understand one another. Yet, as we dive deeper into the movie, we see this idea that black and whites are still worlds away. On the outside, we show ourselves to be kind to each other. Essentially, to speak with manner and a smile whenever a social interaction occurs. The other, genuine part of kindness however, is what is really lacking. That sense of emotional and mental equality. This movie portrays how beyond the masks are far, overarching thoughts that people hide, evidently due to law. Many whites still hold blacks to this notion that all they are is a physical body of flesh with a different colored skin. In other words, another species that will never be the same.

Journalism

         I do not know much about journalism. I am going to guess it is common knowledge though, in which writers and journalists take notes on other people and record their oral thoughts and stories. In a way, I do believe it gives us genuine sight on the ignorance of the community. Considering how polarized our nation is, most people spotted on the streets are probably going to have different opinions from one another. For example, the topic of abortion. This act of killing a baby before it is born may sound disgusting and inhumane yet there are many people that believe in it. Clearly, I am on the opposing side and do not pledge for abortion, which evidently explains the controversy that America is facing. Writing allows us to recognize how exactly disputed an issue is. People from the ghettos, people from the gated communities, people on the streets. We are all people and we all have a sense of what we want to follow and believe in. Usually in civilized countries, a strong amount of the whole voice is controlled by the government, which tend to be a powerful group of politicians, whatever position. Even democracy, said to be run by the people, is still in the grasp of people higher up. People do indirectly have a say, but the final decision and opinion is never their’s. A world without journalism would almost be a world without opinion.

Weird art thing warm up

The man is standing under an arch which if we were to go back to the ancient times of rome and greece we can see that emperors such as constantine used arches as a symbol of power, and stability. This shows that the man is a person of authority and power. The use of gold is the symbol of royalty and riches portraying that he is rich and can do whatever he wants. The columns on either side are also a sign of power since the creation of the temple of Athena we know that the tower aspect of the pillars resonance a sense of dominance to the viewer. Despite all the surroundings that suggest that he is a person of the utmost power the outfit that he is wearing shows off a bit of a sense of humbleness showing that despite all that he stands for he is just like everyone else. Although the hue shows again that he is above others by not showing his legs, his torso seems to be supported by a ghost like tail that makes him seem that he is looking down at you from a place above. This is enhanced by the eyebrow, the eye itself is looking straight but the eyebrows adds a descending tone to his eyes. The black cloth seems to be type of cape maybe alluding to that of an upper being or a king which is then helped by the fact that the gold swirls above his head seem to be in the shape of a crown, which of course is made of gold.  Going back to the pillars they are decorated with an assortment of riches such as vases and jewelry which adds on to the aspect of power. He seems to cleverly hide his royalty by using the two colors that make the color of royalty red and blue which make purple. This maybe be his attempt at humility once again, however once again contradicted by the fact that the background is green showing maybe that where he is the grass is greener.
