Sarcastic, serious, light, but also profound, BlacKkKlansman hits the nail. The performers are incredible, and the stupendous directing and meticulous writing were a perfect mix for over two hours in a film stamped with Spike Lee’s persona and talent.
John David Washington, Adam Driver, and Michael Buscemi infiltrate and take down from the inside Topher Grace’s “KKK” in a humorous and not depressing way and add some entertaining fiction to these, based on a true story and events. Laura Harrier, Ryan Eggold, and Jasper Pääkkönen are equally exceptional.
There have been some negative reviews regarding the different approaches the film has taken compared to the book, but people need to realize that moving pictures are an entirely different medium that addresses a much larger and more diverse audience. Consequently, if the film doesn’t focus on the undercover work against the black activists or presents the “KKK” as caricatures, we, the viewers, either accept or not the adaptation’s angle on the subject matter.
Before you start casting stones, though, just in case you haven’t watched it yet or simply missed it, BlacKkKlansman makes you smile and laugh for the first two hours and bring tears to your eyes only for the last two minutes because it is about love and hope rather than hate and despair.
