Profound and inspirational.

This was amazing! Thank you for posting.

Loved the talk, confused by the finger snaps.

What a Gem 💎. Both Jordan, and this lecture. I’m so glad I found this.

I love how he repeats the questions so the audience can hear what is being asked. This guy is such a pro.

Everyone that isnt white either hates white people or is being conditioned to hate them. Stupid racist division bullshit, dont come at me w that shit

Give him the big budget dammit

Really good lecture. can anyone compile all the referenced films lool

that's amazing

wow he's so gracious and generous, love how he listened closely and answered thoughtfully and in great detail. An amazing lecturer but also an incredible artist. So excited to continue seeing his work!

Wow I really wish I took this class but thank you for this content Professor Tananarive ❤️

I Wonder If He’s High On Potenuse

Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us

Like! Like! Like!

I would have voted for Obama for a third time if I could have.

Thanks for the upload!! fantastic

Maybe invest in a tripod next time.

Why UCLA Go to H B C U

shaky cam ...

lol @the pretentious Oldboy question and Peele's extremely polite way of saying "not even close"

What about an internship was that girl talking about?

I love a black audience. We moan in a way that is affirming and comforting. I see you. You did well.

Wholesome content and a great Q & A

But who set the SYSTEM up and for what reason? Jordan is slick, got caught out there with that Oldboy question. He is funny and talented, BUT he is a biracial man that presents as Black, raised by a white family, schooled at white institutions, and married to a white woman. Not sure how steeped in the Black experience he actually is other than being discriminated against and othered because of his Blackness. What does he know of how Black women feel or how Black families interact, etc.? Found his Madtv/Key&Peele work stereotypical and insulting portrayals - but whites think its brilliant because it fits their view of what Blacks are like.

He is steeped in the black experience because no matter what his parentage or how he was raised, the color of his skin puts him there.

Great Q & A... Those students are as sharp as a tac!

now I'm waiting for that new Star Wars.

Yoooooo he’s so dope!!!! 😊💪🏾

His goldberg impression was actually spooky good.

5:38 : M - ANDEE

Why’re so many people whispering? Shut the fuck up and listen. Or leave.

Slap ass .... Juat one more for the road " Garcia" just to get me back on feet ...

Noiice!

You know the folks in this audience are people of color. With each statement from Jordan is followed by the church response to the preacher's sermon … Um hum! Yes!! Right!!

Jordan wrote, directed and coproduced GET OUT. It made $250M worldwide. Why isn't he mega rich? The internet says he only worth $12M when after GET OUT that should be $50M! What kind of shit deal is that?

A lot of money goes into his production company and paying people

1) 13% of the population wants to run point, but feels hampered by feelings of otherness and alienation. They do not always feel understood. It is as if its every individuals job to understand perfectly the black psyche. Honestly, this is the feeling of most minority groups in all of history, and still is both in US and around the world today. It is a byproduct. The strain it takes to operate in white spaces is part delusion, part ignorance of regular, everyday whites, and only partly real. Whites can not help their idiots anymore than anyone else, and pretending that ignorant micro-aggressions are the bane of your existence is fucking premeditated hostility...it is like wishing you lived perfectly in blacktopia, where everyone perfectly “gets it” and you never have to deal with others at all. It is easier to ignore the greater truth of inner conflict, and to push it onto other means. We all do that. We do not want to see that some of what we feel is actually what we regurgitate to ourselves. We do not always tell ourselves the whole truth.

Thank you for posting this!

I love Mr. Peele.  Ironically for this to be a "film" related, should I be surprised that there is no tripod for the "camera"?

It's so weird. I'm so used to seeing him co star on Key and Peele. Goes to show you never know what potential someone has

Black women still think the movie was about interracial dating

@Queenlea it wasn't about interracial dating at all but doesn't stop them from using the get out technique every time a black dude dates outside of his race

It was waayy deeper than that

Hello, Can you tell me what was the student saying around the 15:00 mark? What was the question if there was any?

I once read that in order to have a successful conversation, attempt to repeat what the person says in a manner that they’re able to stop and say “I never thought to say it like that but yeah, that’s what I meant.” It not only shows that you’re listening but it shows a comprehensive internalization of what the other person says. Pay attention to how he repeats every question in his own words before he answers.

Y'all kids are fucken disrespectful to him . Get off your damn fucken phone ! For god sakes , give the man a few mins of you're attention. No cameras . Just use your fucken brain

I'M DIZZY NOW!!

"Get Out" was a social commentary about self-hating white liberals. They love their token blacks, and would sacrifice their own selves in order to protect them.

This movie will only spread more anger and hate. It will not bring anyone together. Keep thinking your victims and you will stay victims with an imaginary oppressor.

Yeah, no one has ever been oppressed...........ever.

Just my role model 💯

What’s with the clicking fingers?

Snapping fingers/Thumb clapping/finger clicking - Shows appreciation without totally drowning out a speaker as thunderous clapping does, most often done at poetry slams...

Its a poetry thing

It's so they don't clap all the time.. but it's to show much appreciation

When you see a tripod in the corner of the shot and wish the camera user would utilise it....

Just listen better

@Maxamilloin Constanople Your mother should of shallow you

Did you see all those black people in the room there was more than one tripod trust

this feels like a strereotypical black church people are 3 step away from saying "aaaaaaaaaaamen!" lmao, nice panel tho, feels way more alive them most of the other ones actualy, thanks for posting that

Damn Chris, you abandoning ya family? really nigga? sing it. Everybody Hates Chris

That sucks for anyone that skipped that class that day

The man's a absolute Genius

He's so much relaxed here and comfortable...very different when he's in talk shows with white hosts.

I'm so in awe of his mind. He's so incredibly funny and insightful and that he's also a fan of horror delights me to no end! What a fresh unique perspective he's giving to film! I'm beyond excited to see everything he creates. His new "Us" trailer gave me chills!

As a child he was petrified of scary movies.  When he turned 11 or 12 he forced himself to no longer be afraid.

Now THIS is a lecture! Please, next time, tripod or mono pod for capturing this excellent talk!

Who all is here after the "Us" trailer???

chickenwityamz trailer was awesome. The movie was alright.. nothing special

Me

me lol

@chickenwityamz for real the trailer gave me creeps

chickenwityamz sure is

Insights worth pondering

Hes wearing a freemason t-shirt and no one seems to notice. You people need to start paying attention to the symbols and begin learning the meanings of them.

@JohnnyMwan WHOA.....LIKE...

@Marcus Black but free masonry has ties to Satanism

Big Jordan Peele fan but disappointed that his just going to have black protagonist in all of his movies. Hope he opens up much more then that. For a guy that a fan of Halloween, Rosemary Baby, The Shining etc... his gotta be much open minded then just doing social horror movies

Flatbush Massive shit, you right man, and I’m white. 🤙🏻

Ghostfacekevon ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 man fuck you. You don’t think we’re tired of seeing white protagonist in 95% of movies.foh

From everyone's clappings and Peele's answers, I know many of the students have asked some great questions. But I have turned my volume to the highest, and I'm sure my neighbors are hating me, I still cannot hear most of those questions.

Oscar winning writer

Jordan Peele is a racist because he said he will never have a white protagonist. If a white person said this it would be all over CNN. Then he calls Trump a racist ? As time goes by we can see Trump is doing amazing things for blacks and their approval of him has doubled since hes been in office. Trump is doing MUCH more for the black community than Peele ever will. I wish that black producers and directors were more creative but they just rely on the race card at every turn.

@telesphoros stfu

@bo william go resist arrest

stfu

A suspicious black cat i agree with you about perception. when peele looks in the mirror he probably even perceives himself that way because hes in america where majority is white. however, if you put him next to a truly black man from mozambique then he would realize how white he actually is. while i dont agree with 100% on rotten tomatoes, i think 'get out' was a really great movie. if he retracts that one statement i will even be happy to watch it again. i actually liked it so much that it brought me to the interview i have a problem with and thats the moment i saw him and his art in a different light. he had an almost devious look when he was saying it.. but maybe thats my perception and it wasnt his intention to be offensive. even if its not intentional, as a white person i feel im held to a higher standard with my speech than that and i would be persecuted for saying something like that. i dont want the right to say that kind of thing i just think we should all be held to the same standard.

A suspicious black cat  no i wasnt trying to say you would portray anyone as villainous im saying thats what jordan peele does with his movies. in 'get out' the white people were villains and obviously in the new movie they are also villains. i dont mind tendencies , all peele needs to do is change it from a policy to a tendency to avoid me calling him racist. i agree with what youre saying about genre but my point is that peeles chosen genre is only about racial material and portraying white people as the villain. again, all he needs to do is something thats not all about race. i think its a sign of weakness as a writer if you cant do any other material besides racially charged stuff and i would argue there are better ways to tackle race than to pit one against the other. but, if writing about race is the only genre he wants to do.. thats perfectly fine.. even if he wants to portray white people as villains thats fine.. but it fits the definition of racism when you verbally announce in an interview after 'get out' that you will never have certain people based solely on skin color. how are you racist for wanting to write characters who resemble you.. you're not. its the moment you make a blanket statement to exclude people based on the color of their skin. if you support that policy of his you are supporting racism. does supporting racism make you a racist ? so you have a problem with saying there are behavioral racial differences ? that doesnt aline with your main position or jordan peeles because what peele is saying is that he cant write for a white person because he could never understand how they think. youre also saying the same thing which is an admission of racial difference.. so which one is your actual position, do we have racial differences or not ? yes, i am white and if i were to write a black protagonist it would first depend on the story i wanted to tell and the genre. i would undoubtedly infuse him with emotion and parts of myself, even though i am white and hes black we are both human so i would start first with things that are broadly 'human'. what the character did, like eating would be dependent on what kind of person he is, not necessarily specific to race because not all black people eat 'soul food' and collared greens. or watermelon and fried chicken. (but as a white man i will be called a racist if i say they eat fried chicken and thats part of the double standard im trying to address) so because of where i live i havent had the opportunity to know many black people at all but we are starting to get a few in my town and im accurate when i say 'a few' so this would require me to research. if i was serious about writing a black role i would do my research first hand, try to live with black people, etc. i would see with my own eyes and offer up my observations in the form of the character as i saw them, not how a black person told me, or from reading a black author. i would see for myself the reality and try to convey that to my readers. i dont think you or peele have the same problem i do in this regard because im assuming you live in the US and we are 70% white. i would think you and peele have had a lifetime to observe white people. for instance peeles white wife probably has a family that jordan knows intimately. one would think hes stayed up all night drinking with her dad.. or gone on trips where he really gets to know the soul of a white person. hes also half white so that gives him even more insight into being white. so if his half-black side disqualifies him from 'writing white' then why doesnt his half-white side disqualify him from 'writing black' ? to me that argument is a cop-out for a bad policy and an obvious double-standard. all he needs to do in my opinion is take back that one statement that he would never have a white protagonist and i would go back to being one of his biggest fans.

Next time try to focus on both the person asking the question and the proffesor/lecturers.

Thanks for sharing!

i was waiting for him to say ''con-seq-uences''

Someone comes at me with violence and claiming they're getting racial generational revenge. There will be consequences for that shit.

Where my crack, where my crack

Like you , you , you , yeahhhh... Stole from my own sister ...

yesssss lol same

Nooice!

Camera person, were you doing cartwheels? Just joking...thanks for the upload.

Thank u so much for uploading this. This was awesome.

Thank you for posting and having the phone in landscape mode!

The irony of a "black" man (he's half white), who was raised by his white mother because his black father didn't stick around, constantly acting like he's overcome so much white oppression is dumbfounding.

Shut up just because your mother is white doesn’t mean you’re accepted... that means you’re a target to get fucked over more ... everybody including yourself been through something learn to channel that anger and become something

It isn't ironic. He identifies as black and experiences racism as a black person.

I would hardly call the one sentence I wrote his entire life story. What I did write is well documented. Look it up dummy.

Thanks for uploading!!

The difference between black directors and white directors, is that black directors focus on race, while white directors focus on a wide variety of concepts. Black people are just generally more racist than white people these days, and movies like this are achieving the opposite of what Jordan wants.

Triggered much

Jesus Christ!, I mean great for Peele but chill out fans, it's just your average comedy/horror/thriller movie, I guess this is sort of like a cult-hit fan base, but still a class is a bit too much, I mean I guess you could study the cool camera angles and visuals, but there's really nothing else to learn from this movie.

I didn’t know he made this movie thts why the movie so weird duh

Wow, that school got a lot of girls in it😒

60% colleges is women now

Would've been awesome if he pronounced everyone's name wrong...

there are less asian girls than childish gambino led me to believe

This a gem

Moonlight was a film with a black protagonist that was well reviewed and won the oscar....did it make money?

Moonlight was a story with a black protagonist ( well written and acted, award winning) did that make money?

If you go back and watch the whoopie goldberg speech, she didn't say any of that. But that was his impression of seeing her up that made him feel like.

He probably made it up to give the black kids inspiration. You're one of those people that tell kids Santa isn't real. Stop being you for once

Bora Vy lol see its fascinating the way we see things

Stephany De La Rosa I actually thought he was right because that’s how I remembered it too when he said it. Man how weird memories are sometimes.

He will crush it fo so.

Wait a minute isn't this dude married to an white woman? Maybe he should take his own advice and "GET OUT"!!...

He started this film and production before he married her.

He was also raised by his white mother because his black daddy didn't stick around.

Would have been hilarious if he just came in, farted and left. K&P fans will know.

Mr poopstrain 😂😂

That's tight

Interesting: 29:40 - Korean cinema's influence on Jordan - "HAN" - Modern Chinese cognate 恨 means more simply hatred, animosity, or resentment; the classical definition of 恨 is often translated as 'regret' or 'unfulfilled vengeance', which more closely correlates with the Korean sentiment of 'Han'.

big respect for this dude

This film did not deserve best original screenplay! This is just a reworking of the classic horror film "The Stepford Wives" (1975). In the movie the men in the community turn all the women into submissive slaves. Peele just flip it upside down and made it about whites controlling blacks. Basically its the same story! Even down the the idea that the husband(in peels version, the girlfriend) was in on it from the beginning. There was nothing original about this!

My question is....... When is Key and Peele coming back??

Second guy had an AMAZING question.

Wow look at all the women I guess the men have gone alternate routes

This man is a genius, Get Out was the most original and intelligent film I’ve seen on the big screen. I wasn’t familiar with his work so started watching a few of Keele and Peele on YouTube. The ingenuity of this man was already there for every to see and hear. Mr Peele, you are going to knock Me Spielberg off his rusty throne. Respect

I like Jordan and enjoyed "Get Out" but he is, at the end of the day, half black and half white but seems to only lean and promote his "blackness". Sure he physically looks like a black man but in the end, the industry is all about dollars. He wrote a good screenplay and made a good movie and was already in and somewhat established in the industry. So i wish he would more speak on himself as a filmmaker and creator, rather than a "black director". You're talented and just do your thing.

You are what your father is. His father is a black man. You carry the lineage from your father.

You don’t understand at all be quite

Gera Anderson absolutely i watched Key & Peele. pretty funny show. but again lot of black up and white down. it's his choice but just if it was left out all together it'd be better. Hope when he passes they don't write "Black Director Jordan Peele" has passed away today.

I'm not sure he initially identified himself that way but the media probably emphasized it and he didn't fight it but choose to embrace. Believe me, if you win any acclaim the fact that you are Hispanic is probably going to be highlighted, especially if you're a first. I agree that he is going to have to do something spectacular to follow GET OUT. He probably just wants to follow his own ideas and not have a goal to become a big Hollywood director. Have you seen any of his Key and Peele skits?

Gera Anderson nothing wrong with being a black anything. I myself am a filmmaker. i am also hispsnic. I don't however, choose to identify as a "Hispanic Filmmaker". You don't say "Black Judge" or "Black Pilot". I'm simply saying to embrace every aspect of yourself but why minoritize yourself. He's talented, seems intelligent and has a voice. Everything i see him in he's all pro black everything but makes and pokes fun at white stereotypes as if he himself is not half white. Still like him and am interested in his Sophomore film. Going to be very hard to follow GET OUT

Starting with this..then rewatching get out and following it up with 7 seconds(?) what else

thank you for posting this, its amazing to live in a world where I can see this

What hurts the most is that there's a tripod right there the whole tiiiiiiime!!!

I couldn't find my own tripod before class lol. I was using an iPhone.

Thank you #Black1st

They need to start key and peele back up

Such a great lecture. Thank you for capturing this.

No one asked about Kubrick, y'all sleepin.

He called out The Shining, what chu talking about Willis? LOL
