It doesn't just work as an effective and disturbing horror movie, it works as an exploration of race relations and the views shared by some of the people that gather at Dean and Missy's house for this yearly 'party'. Not only because the concept and the execution thereof is fantastic, but simply because of how thought-provoking and subversive the entire experience is. Oh, it should also be noted that Jordan Peele won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay last night and goddamn if it isn't well-deserved. This is gonna be one of those movies that's gonna be difficult to review without spoiling, the biggest joy in this film is going in completely blind and not knowing what's about to happen, but I'm certainly gonna try. This is certainly very relevant to the film that I am reviewing this early Monday morning. How my I would have looked at the world differently and how the world would have perceived me or, rather, my skin color. I can't begin to tell you how often I've wondered how my lie would have turned out had I been born with a different color and I would have been raised in the United States.
You wouldn't be able to tell this if you were to look at my skin tone, I am one pale asshole, but I am half-black.
I don't have contact with my father nor have I had any contact with him for either 15 or 17 years (the timeline is a bit murky for me), but yes, technically speaking, I am half black. I think I've mentioned this in another review some time ago, I don't remember where or for what movie, but my father is black.
