Reflective Teaching with the Film “Get Out” ‘Watch Together’

Abstract

This study explored the possibility of reflective education using the film Get Out. With the expansion of OTT services, ‘watching alone’ and ‘quick playback’ are becoming commonplace. In this paper, we propose a way to deepen the understanding of the film's core message and lead to reflection by watching and discussing the film together.Although racism is publicly prohibited and seems to have been politically resolved to some extent, it is still at the root of various problems in modern society. The film Get Out provides an opportunity to reflect on this issue of racism and also on identity, which is a major issue during the university years.This paper provides an opportunity to reflect on stereotypes and prejudicial attitudes by discussing how stereotypes can easily lead to discrimination and furthermore to hatred and conflict. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on identity, such as the students' own values and beliefs, by discussing the problem of identity confusion caused by the transplantation of a black body and a white brain.
