With his 2017 directorial debut\u00a0Get Out<\/em><\/strong>, Jordan Peele revolutionized contemporary horror by tackling racism head-on without sacrificing scares. Peele himself considers the movie, which stars Daniel Kaluuya as a photographer<\/a> on his way to meet his white girlfriend’s family for the first time, a social thriller. This means\u00a0Get Out<\/em>\u00a0hinges its suspenseful narrative on the experiences of oppressed people – specifically African Americans.\u00a0An encounter Kaluuya’s character Chris Washington already dreads\u00a0quickly turns sinister as he\u00a0finds himself in the middle of a wealthy, white conspiracy to abduct and subjugate black people. This existentially terrifying scenario might have\u00a0landed very differently with audiences if Peele’s original ending ever made it to theatres.<\/p>\n

Get Out<\/em>\u00a0includes one of the most unique representations of white supremacy on the screen, and Peele rightfully won an Oscar in 2018 for his original screenplay. Chris’s girlfriend Rose Armitage, played by Allison Williams, seduces and then lures young, healthy black people to her family’s vast estate in Upstate New York, where the victims are literally put on the auction block.\u00a0It turns out the Armitages use a combination of neurosurgery and hypnotherapy to transplant the highest bidder’s consciousness into the body of their latest target.<\/p>\n

This heinous Armitage family tradition harkens back to the days of chattel slavery, and these plot points connect the dots between America’s slave-holding past and present – where people of color still contend with\u00a0egregious levels of racialized violence and harm<\/a>.\u00a0Instead of the KKK or the alt-right, the monsters in Get Out<\/em> are members of a white, upper-middle-class liberal family. At one point, Bradley Whitford’s character Dean Armitage even brags to Chris, “By the way, I would have voted for Obama for a third term if I could.” With these characterizations, Peele stresses the toxic consequences of declaring America “post-racial” after the election of President Barack Obama. Peele explained on\u00a0Buzzfeed<\/em><\/a>‘s\u00a0Another Round<\/em> podcast,<\/em> “That\u2019s what the movie was meant to address. These are all clues, if you don\u2019t already know, that racism isn\u2019t over.”<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The clues are plentiful,\u00a0like the Armitage’s black housekeeper Georgina, groundskeeper Walter,\u00a0and\u00a0LaKeith’s Stanfield’s enslaved and sex trafficked character Andre, who repeatedly tells Chris to get out in one of the film’s most harrowing scenes. Chris\u00a0withstands the emotional and physical traumas inflicted upon him by his kidnappers, including a horrific hypnosis session with mom Missy Armitage (Catherine Keener) that prepares him for the Sunken Place – the void Chris’s consciousness is pushed into to make way for his occupier. Chris is auctioned off to a blind art dealer played by Stephen Root,\u00a0but he’s able to\u00a0save himself from the Sunken Place by clogging his ears with stuffing from the chair he’s strapped into.<\/p>\n

Chris frees himself from his restraints and fights like hell to make sure the Armitages never terrorize another black person again. The final 20 minutes of\u00a0Get Out<\/em>\u00a0moves quickly and anxiously from one bloody, violent confrontation<\/a> to the next. Chris bludgeons, impales, and punches his way\u00a0to safety. This\u00a0culminates in a final showdown with Rose\u00a0along the estate’s meandering driveway. As Chris\u00a0battles the woman who claimed to love him hours earlier, a police cruiser pulls up on the scene. Chris’s friend Rod, a TSA agent played by\u00a0Lil Rel Howery, exits the vehicle, signaling an end to Chris’s ordeal. They drive off together, leaving Rose to bleed out\u00a0in the driveway.<\/p>\n

This ending is very different from the initial closing sequence Peele included in the first cut of\u00a0Get Out<\/em><\/a>. Instead of Rod, an actual police officer drives up as Chris strangles Rose. Chris is ultimately arrested and\u00a0incarcerated for defending himself against the Armitages. Based on early screenings of the film, audiences found this ending too bleak, and Peele felt like white\u00a0moviegoers wouldn’t know what to do with the imagery of Chris behind bars. Peele also felt the prevalent\u00a0narratives about\u00a0institutional oppression\u00a0and white supremacy were changing in America. The\u00a0amount of public dialogue about police brutality and\u00a0criminal justice reform was\u00a0more widespread than\u00a0before he wrote\u00a0Get Out<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“It was a much more woke time,” Peele told\u00a0Buzzfeed<\/em>.\u00a0<\/em>The new ending is far from a happy one, but it\u00a0frames\u00a0Chris as a hero who prevails, as a protagonist audiences can rally behind. It gives him agency and control.\u00a0While Kaluuya loves the original ending and its\u00a0powerful connotations, he told\u00a0Vulture<\/em><\/a> he finds the\u00a0altered\u00a0ending very honest. “He has to go out there even after he\u2019s experienced all this racism, and people expect you to see the world in the same way when they haven\u2019t experienced something like that,”\u00a0Kaluuya explained.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0his revised conclusion, Peele forces everyone watching to engage<\/a> with Chris’s feelings about the approaching police car. Chris knows, because he is black, he’s going to jail when he sees the flashing lights.\u00a0As the camera focuses on the TSA logo on the side of the car and then moves to Rod’s face, the tense moment gives way to relief – the same relief Chris\u00a0experiences seeing his friend.\u00a0This kind of storytelling technique shows what’s at stake for Chris\u00a0through emotional appeals and phenomenal acting, not through lecture-like learning moments that might fall on deaf ears. Marcus Henderson, who plays Walter, insists the new ending in\u00a0Get Out<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0also gives black audiences “a break, and I think that\u2019s why we enjoyed it so much, because we want it so badly.”<\/p>\n
