In Jordan Peele’s “Get Out,” hypnosis plays a central role in the film’s chilling narrative. The story follows Chris Washington, who visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, where he becomes increasingly uneasy about their behavior. The Armitage family uses hypnosis, specifically a method called “the sunken place,” to control and exploit Black individuals. Missy Armitage employs this technique to induce a trance in Chris, allowing the family to execute a horrifying plan: transplanting the consciousness of wealthy white people into Black bodies. The film uses hypnosis to explore themes of control and racial exploitation, with Chris’s struggle representing a fight for personal freedom and identity against a backdrop of sinister manipulation.
