In Get Out, Allison Williams Makes the 'Good White Person' Terrifying. Warning: This post contains major spoilers for Get Out. Get Out is the directorial debut of comedian Jordan Peele, and it's also the first film role for Girls' Allison Williams.
However, there isn't a specific event that inspired Peele to write Get Out, and instead, it was based on ongoing social issues, mostly racism and discrimination.
Rod recognizes "Logan" as Andre Hayworth, a missing man from Brooklyn. Suspecting a conspiracy, Rod tries to tell the police, but his claims are dismissed.
Rose and her family reveal their true nature, and the Armitage family are revealed to be the leading members of a secret cult known as the Order of the Coagula (founded by Rose's grandfather Roman) whose main objective is achieving immortality through transferring their brains into African American bodies.
Because Froot Loops are colorful and milk is white, the separation of the two seemingly symbolizes the American Segregation era when people of color were forced to use different public amenities than white people.

What does the deer symbolize in Get Out?
By the end of the movie, Peele makes it clear through his symbolism that deer and Kaluuya's character Chris are intended to be mirror images of one another, drawing a parallel between black men being prized as trophies just like the taxidermy deer hanging on the wall in the room where Chris was held captive.
The scariest scenes in Get Out are the ones that recall shocking realities. Jordan Peele uses cross-cutting masterfully during the auction scene, as he cuts between Chris and Rose saying, “I love you,” for the first time, and the Armitages auctioning off Chris' body.
When the flash goes off in Logan's face his demeanor changes. Physical symptoms manifest which include a nose bleed, fear in his eyes and lunging at Chris saying "Get out". Initially, this perception of this is interpreted as aggression, but later he learns that Logan was actually warning him.
Marianne Armitage is a supporting antagonist of the 2017 horror movie Get Out. She is a member of the Order of the Coagula and the former matriarch of the Armitage Family. She was portrayed by Betty Gabriel (when possessing Georgina) and an unknown actress as her original body.
~ Rose to the hypnotized Chris. Rose Armitage is the main antagonist of the 2017 horror movie Get Out. She is a cult member of the Order of the Coagula along with the Armitage Family. She was portrayed by Allison Williams.
Not ready to give up just yet, Missy grabs a knife from the same table and attacks Chris then pierces his hand with that knife before Chris grabs Missy's neck and uses the knife stabbing his hand to stab Missy to death.
Another thing no one saw, but he was also wearing loafers, which we painted with little red pennies. Red was a very important color in the film because it is symbolic of secret societies.
Through the character development of Chris, the film explores the experience of being a person of color in western society. Chris' journey represents the struggle to maintain his identity and agency in the face of systemic racism and exploitation.
All of the Armitages and their guests wear red, which is a symbol of their secret society. Red, of course, is associated with blood, and they don't mind spilling lots of it to get what they want. Chris, however, wears no red whatsoever and this is one of the things that marks him as an outsider.
In the beginning the rabbits were locked up in cages, symbolizing the loss of free will and movement. When Adelaide was switched, Red had more control of her body as she was from the surface. Since she had control she was able to free the rabbits from their cages.
However, the casual stirring of the silver spoon in a tea cup not only develops into a centrifugal force of terror but bears important symbolic meaning. For one, the teacup is symbolic in that during the U.S. slavery era, white wives of slave owners would use a gentle strike to their teacup to summon house slaves.
In Get Out, the coagula procedure renders the African American victim powerless. They are forced into a metaphorical version of slavery where white people steal their bodies and use them for their own purposes.
Why does everyone stop talking when Chris goes upstairs?
On first viewing, it's just an eerie moment, but in hindsight, the sudden silence is due to the party itself not being real. It's a front, a kind of play acting entirely for Chris' benefit. After all, he's who they're all really there to see.
Rose is constantly insinuating that she represents the epitome of a not-racist woman. She believes that she always has the better understanding of interracial relationships than Chris does and that she is able to make the better choices for him because she lives in what she believes to be a post-racial society.
Chris catches back up to us very quickly. When he wants a cigarette and realizes that the thought of it makes him sick, he knows he was hypnotized. Dramatic irony here was used to heighten tension. The fact that Chris figures it out quickly, demonstrates that he's a smart guy.
