Answer preview…………

Directed by Jodan Peele, “Get Out” is a stunning 2017 movie that meets my definition of a good cinema as it presents a funny, scary, and though-provoking experience. The acting of the characters which involves a combination of Whites and Blacks presents the primary theme of the movie which is racism. The visual and sound effects of the movie are also displayed in high resolution to create an environment that looks realistic despite being fictional. The film protagonist includes Chris Washington a Black photographer and Rose Armitage who is his White girlfriend (Peele). The fight scene between Chris and members of Rose’s family is displayed with high visual effects that make the movie memorable (Peele). Also, the movie follows the plot of an initial situation (Rose and Chris are in love), conflict (Rose’s family are uncomfortable with Blacks), complication (the family transplant the brains of white people into black bodies), climax (Chris manages to escape alive), and finally the suspense. Therefore, the movie is a good cinema because of its exclusive plot, characters, and visual effects………..
