Why does Rose smile at the end of Get Out?
She felt that by choking her to death, he was proving her family's theory that black men are animalistic. Even as she's dying, she feels she's being proven correct.

Why is Georgina cleaning in "Get Out"?
Two reasons:
She has to at least appear to be a servant to deflect suspicion. What would Chris think if the maid were just sitting around?
Maybe Grandma was house-proud and liked keeping the kitchen ...

How did "Bingo" work in Get Out?
If the 10 extended fingers represent dollar amounts, $10 million is certainly more likely than $10,000, just given what is being auctioned. These days a nose job could cost around $10,000, and what ...

Why did the cops laugh at Rod Williams' complaint?
First of all, that scene was probably the worst in a decent movie. It seemed like a forced comedic bit in an otherwise decent thriller.
As to why they didn't take him seriously, it was probably ...

Why did Rose keep her old photographs out in the open in Get Out?
It's a classic case of the bad guy (or bad guys in this case) going out of their way in the climax to share unnecessary information that just happens to help explain the plot.
But I thought the movie ...

Themes of Get Out
I think the primary theme is of black bodies being exploited for the benefit of elite whites, while black minds are controlled and co-opted. The "sunken place" is specifically used as a metaphor for ...

Why does Rose smile at the end of Get Out?
It seems to me that she smiled because she knew he couldn't do it. Rose knew Chris didn't have the strength to choke the girl he loved. He was never a fighter, and had told her earlier that

It very much looked to me like a deer bounding rapidly, rather than being thrown. The video below shows a deer jumping; it looks very much like the one in the "Get Out" clip.

What does ‘Behold the Coagula’ mean in Get Out?
'Coagula' defined basically means a "congealed mass", so I'm guessing it's a reference to the transplantation procedure (i.e. the merging of separate brain matter, or body parts, into one, and the ...
