Today, we\u2019re watching a video that explores how Get Out exemplifies Hannah Arendt\u2019s theory on the Banality of Evil.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Any fan of horror movies is inevitably asked to account for their depraved taste. Why, after all, would anyone want to watch mutilations, masked murderers, and unsettling displays of the macabre, let alone take comfort in it?<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has their own answer. But I do think there are two truths at the heart of why so many of us feel an attraction to the genre. The first is that, not unlike sci-fi, horror has an uncanny ability to call out terrifying things about the real-world in a way that feels controlled, safe, and contained. It depicts and dramatizes nightmares like abduction, home invasion, and body horror in ways that you can wrap your head around.<\/p>\n<p>The second is that no matter how <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ly aware they may be, horror movies will always pale in comparison to the horrifying truth about real-world evil. Namely: that it is dangerously and insidiously normal-looking. Evil is something banal and every-day. It is complacency for bad behavior that, by virtue of being normalized, no longer registers as such. Evil in the real world is a dangerous lack of thought. It\u2019s a weaponized complacency. As such, diving into fictional worlds where you can pick villains out of a line-up is reassuring. This is a comforting fantasy of horror: that evil is obvious and that it (usually) can be defeated.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of \u201cthe banality of evil\u201d was conceptualized by <strong>Hannah Arendt<\/strong> during her coverage of the trial of Adolf Eichmann, one of the major organizers of the Holocaust. Arendt was struck and horrified by Eichmann\u2019s ordinariness. This boring bureaucrat thoughtlessly oversaw systematic genocide. And the implication is horrifying: that evil, real evil, often <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears under the guise of ubiquity. This is the horror at the root of all systemic oppression, including the ingrained objectification and oppression of Black people perpetrated by white supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>As the video essay below explains, Jordan Peele\u2019s 2014 horror film <em><strong>Get Out<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>not only confronts the normalized conventions of its own genre but the horror underlying the normalized oppression of Black people. The video essay teases out how <em>Get Out\u00a0<\/em>echoes Arendt\u2019s banality of evil theory and unpacks how Peele uses the expectations of the genre to dramatize the horrific normalcy of real-world evil.<\/p>\n<p>Watch \u201c<strong>Peele\u2019s <em>Get Out<\/em> and The Banality of Evil<\/strong>\u201c:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/itI2y1cn4qU?feature=oembed\" title=\"Peele's Get Out and The Banality of Evil\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>The Movement Image<\/b>\u00a0is a film journal edited by\u00a0<strong>Grant Kerber<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Paul Ebenkamp<\/strong>.
