Were there any scenes you found uncomfortable


I know when rose was on the phone with rob or rod I felt uncomfortable hearing rose say the stuff she say's with her mom and brother being in the same room

To hear the brother keep pressing him on sports questions or the dad go on and on about Jesse Owens telling Hitler where to stick it was kind of embarrassing for the white race in general. The second half gets very weird too although I feel I need to see the movie again to really understand what Peele is trying to get at there.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here- https://youtu.be/Tb0kPow-1D4

I found most of the movie uncomfortable, alternating between 2 different states of discomfort for me:

- The scary scenes were, well, scary. And I scare easily, so for a lot of the film I had my hands over my eyes, adrenaline racing.

-The non-scary scenes were uncomfortable because they reminded me of American slavery , and also made me consider the more subtle forms of racism that still exist today. (This is scary too, of in a qualitatively different way)

I would totally re-watch it if my nervous system would not throw such a hissy fit...
