BlacKkKlansman

Oh man, I enjoyed this film and its ending, which I'm sure some did not like. From the music to the cinematography, this film had me entertained. The story is so shocking that you would think it could never truly happen. While Spike and his team do exaggerate some details, like the BSU plot, the film does a good job of tying in the real story of Ron Stallworth with other historical events, such as Alt-right attacks on Black Youth. You can tell it's a Spike Lee joint, especially the Dolby zoom at the end. What a haunting ending. While Ron gets the girl, he doesn't necessarily win. The chief doesn't let him further investigate the KKK, David Duke is still around, and the KKK chapter in Colorado Springs still lives. The cut to the "Unite the Right" gave me goosebumps. A story from the 1970s still remains true. Nothing has changed, and at the pace we have moved, nothing will change. Adam Driver was also great in this. I can see why he was involved in films like Marriage Story after this movie. The range of emotions he captures tells us that White supremacy cannot be truly faked; it's something mentally in people's brains. How you could be so motivated to judge, hurt, and even kill others based on race, gender, etc, is insane to comprehend. This film did a great job demonstrating that while still remaining a cheesy '70s detective story. Truly a great movie with a message that needs to be heard, especially with the way this country has begun moving. This will definitely be considered an easy rewatch for me. 5/5
