Get Out Day 2
In the beginning of class, Mr. Rivers reminded everyone who was 18 to go vote because it is very important. After he continued his lesson about the different lens film makers use to enhance their movie. He specifically went over the difference between Social and Political lens. This is what we came up with:
SOCIAL lens- links between product and society
- Groups of people
- Communities, unity, division
POLITICAL lens- links between product and politics
- Government, decisions
- Rules + power
We then discussed in our groups how Social and Political lens effect the cafeteria in school. We all know that the cafeteria has always had its different groups of friends in different age groups but we never looked at it with a Social or Political view. This is what we came up with:
Social lens-
- Brings people together
- Different friend groups
Political lens-
- Older=more power,
- Divided by grade-
- 9th grader sit by bathroom, on the floor,
- Teachers to KEEP CONTROL
After this, we watched Get Out, directed by Jordan Peele, for the second day in a row. We were again supposed to takes notes on the movie and also give the different ways that the events of the film relate to the Social and Political lens from above.
It started with Chris, Rose, and her parents sitting on the parent's porch talking and her Father realized his hand was tapping on the table which made him ask if he was a smoker and he answered yes. He then states that it is a terrible habit but his wife could help him stop by hypnotizing him. He adds that he smoked that he smoked for 30 years and then she hypnotized him once and he is now disgusted at the sight of them. Both Chris and Rose were weirded out by the idea but it foreshadows to later in the movie. After this, Rose's brother arrives and acts very strange around Chris for the majority of the time and when they sit down for dinner, their friendly conversation led to Rose's brother bringing up that he does MMA and he walked over to chris and grabbed him from behind and asked to show him something. His mother demanded him to sit down and the scene cut to them getting ready for bed. She brings up how her whole family is acting strange around him and agrees. This shows the Social lens for race because America has always had a problem with racism. The next scene is Chris waking up in the middle of the night and getting up to have a cigarette. As he walks down the hallway, the camera shows that Georgina was also walking behind him but he did not see. He then takes a few steps behind the house and stares into the woods. Non-diagetic violin started to play as Walter sprints at him from the woods and then right before he got to him, he made a sharp turn and ran away. This scene looked like this:
He then turns around to see Georgina staring at her reflection in the window until she hears something and turns the light off. Chris then walks back inside and before making it back to his room, Rose's Mom is in her office and asks him to come in to help his smoking. He eventually agrees and sits in her red leather chair. She then starts asking him questions about smoking and his past. She asks about his Mom and many different questions about the day his mother passed away and he get more and more upset and emotional and his eyes go bloodshot and he says he can't move and she states that he's paralyzed, just like the day his mother died, and to sink through the floor. Him and the flashback he was having of himself both sunk through the floor into the "sunken place". He then wakes up in his room and goes on with his day like nothing happened.
