It's been a lot time since I had a movie kick me in the guts at the end like this one did. The passage of time made the story "bearable" the watch considering it occurred in the 1970's, and things are different now then they were then.
It's a real nice light feel good movie with a great cast, but from a 2020 perspective it feels just grotesque. Maybe that's good, because it puts the right angle on the American society right now, which is not that light.
Probably would rate this a notch or two higher if I saw it now but originally I thought it was a pretty good movie with likeable characters that makes you feel discomfort at time. BLM.
I really appreciate this movie, it is so deep but unfortunately sad. I hope our present and future are more peaceful, fair and bright.
BlacKkKlansman tells the inspired by story of Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) a black cop in Colorado during the 60s. He decides, on a whim, to infiltrate the KKK after reading a newspaper add.
Amazing how a period piece can resonate so profoundly today.
Great movie well told by Spike Lee. It is hard to watch at times but as relevant as ever.
Spike Lee is a very talented and accomplished movie maker. His best work counts among the finest in American Cinema ("Malcolm X" is a great example).
It would be interesting to see a movie with this story. But this one is really awful!
