Blackkklansman Review (2018)

Blackkklansman 

  Blackkklansman is a dramedy inspired by true events and directed by Spike Lee. It stars John David Washington (Denzel Washington's son) as Ron Stallworth, Colorado Spring's first African American detective. His first mission? Infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. He makes connections over the phone with the klan and uses his Jewish/white-passing colleague (Adam Driver) to meet with them in person.
  Now this story sounds absolutely crazy for obvious reasons, which is why I'm surprised it is just now being told. Honestly though, the timing couldn't be more perfect. Blackkklansman isn't afraid to go for it, delivering on both big laughs and big discomfort. It never once polishes America's dirty history, nor does it detract from the seriousness of it, but what it does do is expose the absolute stupidity of racism in a comedic way. The black community has always coped with oppression through humor as a way of healing, and this film hits just the spot.
  Harkoning back to the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally, Black Klansman asks, "How much has America really changed in the past few decades?". It's a question worth examining, especially when it comes in the form of this incredibly entertaining, absorbing, and intelligent film.
  I give Blackkklansman a 10 out of 10 stars. (A Must See)
