MOVIE REVIEW: Get Out — Every Movie Has a Lesson

Connect the dots.

  If something doesn’t seem right or look right, call it out, ask questions, or do something about it. Sure, do it respectfully if you are the guest in the equation, but keep your eyes open. 

The film’s title says it all. Have an exit strategy to remove yourself from an uncomfortable or unhealthy situation.

To convey this last lesson without spoilers is incredibly difficult. 

Let’s put it this way. When someone or something starts to define what is the “right” thing to say or the “right” way to act, go back to Lesson #2. 

Conforming to be respectful in certain circumstances is fine, but don’t betray your principles to do it. Who are they to determine, interpret, or decide what is deemed acceptable or preferred? Be yourself and not what society tells you you should be.
