This article focuses on Black male and Black female ways of seeing and being seen in Jordan Peele's Get Out and Us. Drawing on the theoretical ideas of cinema and Black representation introduced by Manthia Diawara and bell hooks nearly three decades ago, Get Out and Us stage Black male and female orientations challenging established scholarship on Black representation in contemporary movies. Diawara and hooks discuss how Black identity is formed by White Hollywood and Black American Auteurs. Their analysis focuses on who gets to look and who gets looked at from Black male (Chris in Get Out) and Black female (Adelaide/Red in Us) perspectives. The article concludes that Jordan Peele contributes to established discussion on Black identity in American film while providing important new critical insights into contemporary Black experiences and legacies of white supremacy in American culture.
