10 Movies That Clearly Foreshadow Their Own Plot
1. Get Out - Deer Hunter
In a film as cleverly paced and built up as Get Out, there's as much of an undercurrent of nuanced symbolism as there is an outright face up to the racial contents of the movie - providing different layers that can be unpacked and dissected about modern society as the narrative ploughs onwards.
One such point that is reiterated in the beginning of the movie is the Armitage family's lack of empathy and feelings of animosity towards deer, which seems like clue enough in itself that they aren't All That Nice, but with some historical background brought into the mix, a far more chilling reality comes into play.
Post-Reconstruction America used the analogy of a 'buck' in racist slurs towards black people who refused white authority. If we look at Dean Armitage's hatred of deer and likening them to vermin, and Rose's complete lack of emotion when killing one on the road to her family home, the implicit Armitage racism is all but spelled out on screen with this metaphor.
That Chris then ends up killing Dean with the antler of a mounted buck is all the more satisfying to see.
