BlacKkKlansman (Spike Lee, August 10th, 2018) Movie • Page 2

This is great, definitely go see if you can!

 

This was okay but it goes way too easy on police and non-cartoonishly stupid racist white people

 

I live in Virginia. What a memorable film.

 

I really enjoyed this.

 

The end of this movie made me pretty upset. Great film.

 

This was fantastic, love that the dude from I, Tonya was in this. The scene at the end where Ron revealed himself to David Duke was so well executed. That extended shot of David in the office looking stunned got the most staggered laughter I've ever heard in a theater.

 

OMFG the cop who sounds exactly like Steve Buscemi is his brother, I wasn't losing my mind, but how do they have the same voice

 

John sounds so much like Denzel

This was great. The end was so impactful.

 

Really really liked this, good mix of comedy and drama. Didn’t know anything about the story beforehand.

I was wondering if it was intentional to release this on the one year anniversary of Charlottesville... was not expecting to get emotional in the end revisiting that terrible footage

 

Did not know that... The guy who sold the C4 is brothers with John Turturro

 

Everyone was so good in this. I have never heard of Laura Harrier before this and I thought she was fantastic. Adam Driver crushed it.

Also, it's funny that Alec Baldwin shows up everywhere when you least expect it.

 

He takes any opportunity to lampoon republicans/racists

 

Going in I was apprehensive about a movie about race where the cops were heroes, but it asks "can a cop change things from the inside" and pretty emphatically answers "no, not at all", so that was a relief.

Spike's best in a long time, even as a Chi-Raq defender. He's a master. The tension in the Harry Belafonte/Klan initiation scene, then the stand-off chase/climax, were unreal.

 

I did not know that was Denzel’s son. He was great.

 

I get there being a critique of this movie focusing on overt, blatant racism, which is easy to lampoon, but part of Spike’s point, which he hammers home with David Duke and the Charlottesville/Trump footage, is that this racism learned how to hide in the background and fester and not actually disappear, but somehow reappear in full force in 2017, and that, as good as it feels to see four cops fight it and laugh at David Duke in the end, they didn’t ultimately change much and their institution actively squashed their efforts. The movie draws direct comparisons between the police and KKK and works on a few levels of showing us that, fun as our movie heroes are, they aren’t “the police” we know, they aren’t the institution of police.

 

Two days later and I can't stop thinking about this. That ending was moving. I've never seen a movie where everyone in the theater sat through the credits (without a stinger) like they did with this.

 

Did anyone else at any point think to themselves that Felix was Rickety Cricket? I seriously was oscillating between yes and no throughout the movie lol.

 

Awesome

 

This was my first Spike Lee film. I absolutely loved it, and Jesus Christ what an emotional ending.

 

He’s hit or miss most of the time. You need to watch Do The Right Thing

 

Definitely interested in that, Inside Man, and 25th Hour.

 

This was a very interesting movie to watch the day after seeing Blindspotting

 

This movie stunned me. I cannot wait to see it again.

 

I consider 25th Hour a companion movie to Do The Right Thing, so watch that second.

 

Love 25th Hour.
