Jordan Peele's notes bring insight to 'Get Out: The Complete Annotated Screenplay'

Featured detail is from Get Out: The Complete Annotated Screenplay. It corresponds to the backyard scene in Act 2 where Chris holds out his fist for Andre/Logan to bump, and Andre/Logan inexplicably grabs Chris's fist instead. In his annotation, Jordan Peele explains, "Andre is probably invited to this party as an advertisement. Because he already has a body, he's invited so that prospective buyers can see how it works. There's a moment here where Andre/Logan will do a little twirl showing off his outfit, but what he's really doing is showing that the neural connections worked. On another level—the one Chris sees—it shows that this Black man is volunteering himself for approval. Chris is thinking, 'This motherfucker did a twirl in front of some white people. Something is wrong.' Just being Black people in America gives us something in common."
