Fan somehow links Get Out to Freud psychology and our brain hurts at this twisted theory

Ever since Get Out was released last year everyone has been coming up with some pretty amazing theories as to the whole thing.

Jordan Peele’s movie masterpiece is a walk down lesson lane as he chartered previously unknown territory in regards to race.

Now one fan has come up with one hell of a theory about the similarities between Get Out and Sigmund Freud’s ideas.

Because that’s a thing that all fits together in a neat little package.

Well, Twitter user and Get Out fan Kyle A B has come up with a massive theory that seemed pretty iron-clad.

‘So, Freud’s essay on the “uncanny” made me think of Jordan Peele & Get Out,’ he said. ‘The weird coincidence that the German word for the uncanny or the unsettling is “unheimlich” and our procedure for rescuing the near dead is “the Heimlich.” But, then my thoughts spun out of control.’

Oh yes they did but we are so here for it all.

Old mate Kyle focused on two characters, blind art dealer Jim Hudson (played by Stephen Root) and housekeeper Georgina (Betty Gabriel).

We now know *spoilers* these two characters were mixed up in the world of the Armitage family, the father of which, played by Bradley Whitford, would perform a lobotomy and transplant the brain of a white person into that of a black person.

Kyle starts with Jim, who wanted his sight back and set his, er, sights on Chris Washington (played by Daniel Kaluuya) to fulfil that wish by buying him at auction.

In his online deep-dive, Kyle immediately drew comparisons between Stephen’s character in Get Out and his also-blind character in 2000’s O Brother, Where Art Thou and, as he surmised, both have ‘colourblind racism’.

Which, thanks to Freud, refers to the idea that people should be lauded for their skills and abilities regardless of their skin colour.

While it’s normally something not seen as a negative – after all, you don’t see people by their colour – in the film it’s not treated as such as Kyle rightly suggested both films pit Stephen’s characters as wanting to gain and profit off the skills of the black characters.

He said: ‘Stephen Root embodies this concept of the colourblind profiting off of black talent.’

Sheesh, Peele went deeper than we thought there!

Kyle compared the whole schtick to the psychological theory that to ‘lack eyesight is a form of impotency’.

‘In Freud’s estimation,’ he began. ‘To lose one’s eyesight was a form of castration and lack eyesight is a form of impotency.’

Moving on, we bring on Georgina.

Kyle felt the Freudian link there was that the mind-man produced writings on ‘unheimlich’, the German word for creepy (as brought up in Kyle’s first tweet).

Of which Georgina is super creepy. We knew that off the bat.

But, according to Freud, for something to be truly creepy it must tread the line between weird and familiar.

Think of Georgina – she seems totally normal, but then in some instances she is weirdly robotic, in speech and movement.

And severe lack of emotion, then massive, bountiful emotion.

It’s unnerving.

And…creepy.

Or, as Kyle surmised: ‘The intense discomfort we feel towards things that appear almost human but not quite.’

Like, case in ruddy point here:

‘SIDE NOTE: This is why I think we’re a nation terrified of clowns and why evil smiles are so disorientating,’ he said. ‘Our senses are telling us to fucking run while our brain is seeing a pleasant and welcoming gesture.’

We could legit deep dive into the rest of it all, but moral of the story, Jordan’s links to psychology and race, but also to just plain personality sociology is mighty interesting.

And seems Jordan himself is down with this whole theory and link to Freud as he replied with a Jack Nicholson gif nod.

How’s that noggin? Ours sure is aching.
