I didn’t catch anything like that but maybe you should just be safe and not go see the movie if things like that trigger you.

Just saying one of the reviews said Peele takes an interesting look at race relations in the country. That’s why I asked. Curious why they said that

I read the spoilers.

If there is an intended political undertone, it is of class disparity, not necessarily race.

Peele is average in everything he does. Comedy, horror, tv, film. He's nothing worthy of celebration. He is your decent white college bball player on an NBA team.

None. Also, no political stuff. Anyone who sees that kind of stuff in this film is just projecting.

The film actually has an interesting take on classism.

That’s what I figured. Some of early reviewers look for the race angle and that’s what turns some people off.

Yeah, this wasn't "White people will kill you" like Get Out.

Originally I thought it was a huge mistake revealing in the trailer that the Driveway Family was them. Come to find out, it's not a spoiler, after all.

Agreed. I don't look at that as a political issue however. I would put it in the category of cultural/societal commentary.

Not really, I just haven't been brainwashed to think every "social commentary" movie based around the SJW ethos is worthy of high praise. Get Out was certainly not worthy of the admiration tossed its way. I'm sure this one isn't much better. I do love how they have put the 99% Rotten Tomatoes "fresh" in their adverts. How many of you have been on this board defending that nonsense in the past?

Gotta love “I haven’t seen the movie. But let me tell you why I hate this movie” guy.

People rarely ever defend RT on this board It just sounds like you’re taking critics and RT way too seriously
