If you do not recognize Danie Kaluuya of “Black Mirror”, you probably remember him from the start of the successful director of Jordan Peele “Get Out”, who changed the game by reproducing a whole series of social thrillers in his awakening and even by encouraging university professors to build lessons around the film. Kaluuya plays Chris, a guy who visits the family home of his white girlfriend to discover an unexpected horrors house. So how did Peele find it?

“”It was “Black Mirror,” said Peele Deadline In 2018, when he and Kaluuya discussed the film together. “I had this immediate feeling of, how is this guy so good and I have never seen his work before? The way I can describe it best is, he showed the full range of the two opposite sides of Chris. Different characters, different emotions. The character goes from calm, introspective, pricing, with a feeling of conformity relating to the episode, he showed at the end of this one. Primitive, frugal and passionate that looks like a Greek tragedy.

Peele said that While he personally knew that Kaluuya was the man for the roleHe needed to bring him back to hearing anyway, and he played The now famous “hypnosis scene”. According to Peele, it was incredible. “It was a beautiful moment, it was undeniable,” he recalls. “You could see that he does nothing to do something. His specificity in what he chooses to do, you could say that he was in a good and interesting. It could be very bad.”

The rest is literally cinematographic history, and it is sure to say that Nothing got the wrong once Peele and Kaluuya have joined forces. Not only did the film marked the Oscar nominations for Kaluuya, the Global film, and nods for Peele for realization and writing (the latter he won in the best category of original script), the actor and the editor / director met in 2022 for “Nope” to create even more cinematographic magic. It is therefore lucky that Kaluuya reserved this role in “Black Mirror”, or we might never have obtained his performance in “Get Out”.
