BlacKkKlansman Review

This movie has so much in it and still manages to have a smooth sail from beginning to end. Credit to Spike Lee for his direction and keeping it enjoyable while also having the seriousness of the subject not taken away. Comedy if done well can help portray so many important ideas and it is done perfectly in this movie. I found myself laughing hysterically a few times. The choice of music and the cinematography in different scenes subtly understood the stupidity and dangers of the this "organization" and the the flip side of people going against it.

There was only one point in the movie at the start when a speech is being given at a Black Power movement gathering that I felt like could have been shortened or was repetitive but other than that the movie was gripping and flew by. I still have the primary music from the movie stuck in my head.

All of the cast was great but Adam Driver and John David Washington led the movie well and their chemistry together was amazing and a lot of fun. Topher Grace was excellent in his role as well. I did read some of the actual events that the movie was based on and I get that not a lot of extreme events shown in the movie happened in real life but that did not bother me. There will obviously be a lot of things I missed but the point is that I enjoyed the film.
