BlacKkKlansman : J'ai infiltré le Ku Klux Klan

A terrific Spike Lee film with humor and gut wrenching truths. My first reaction was that the villains were too one dimensional, caricaturesque. It was impossible to stay with them for more than a few seconds - even that outrageous scene of connubial bliss where she expresses her willingness, in the most romantic terms, to kill Blacks. I recoiled in horror and kind of laughing nervously - what is this, a satire? And then, I realized - the real life villanis are one dimensional, they are caricaturesque, they are their own satire. John David Washinton is great and sounds just like his father. Adam Driver brings a presence that is nothing short of compelling, The final real life images are devastating, I highly recommend it.

Hi, I'm french and I'm 16. We saw the movie in the cinema with my english class and our english teacher asked to us to write a revue of this movie, and after put in on this website. Blackkklansman is a movie birected by Spike Lee in 2018. This film is based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, a black police officer who wanted to infiltrate the KKK. Inspired by the book, Spike Lee made a film. In the movie we have funny moments and romance too; Ron falls in love with Patrice, a beautiful blanck woman who fights racism. It is certainly at the top od my list of good movies because it is not only about racism, but about several kinds of discrimination, anti-semitism and gender inequality. And so I think that a lot of people can indentify to both characters and realise that discrimination must be fought. And I think that Spike Lee did a good work because hemanaged to make in making a comedy with a dramatic issue, and Adam Driver and John David Washington have a really good actor's game, it couldn't be other actors! So yes I think that this film is compelling, convincing, realistic, startling and funny, don't miss it!! And there is a lot of reseach from the film director about the KKK, who is a secret organisation of white supremacists directed by Donald Duke and created in 1865 after the Civil War, a war between Northen and Southen states of the USA, the North wanted to abolish slavery and the South didn't. In the movie, we can also see the KKK rites, with the white costums and all tradition. I really enjoyed that because you get out less stupid than you were before seeing the film.

In conclusion, it's a fantastic film, with good actors on the top of that, and you learn a lot about discrimination and humanity, but with funny moments as well. It's a hit and a freat piece of film-making. Go see it!!

Good work, Mr Spike Lee.

Directed by Spike Lee, this is a powerful film based loosely on a true story that took place in Colorado Springs in the 1970s. An undercover black police officer, played by J. D. Washington (and also, sort of, by Adam Driver, who plays a Jewish officer) infiltrates the K K K, which had (has?) a robust presence in Colorado Springs (which also happens to be a city with a large number of HQs of right-wing and evangelical organizations). Topher Grace plays David Duke, once the Grand Wizard of the K K K, who has positioned himself as an Executive Director and looks forward to the time when, through political action, his group can get one of their kind in the White House.

The film, which is fairly traditionally shot, is clearly presented to foreshadow the increase of K K K and white supremacist activity taking place today. In fact, news footage of Donald Trump and the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally of 2017 is shown in the film, and the message is clear. At times obvious and even almost corny, The BlacKkKlansman is an important and sadly timely film.

Disturbing and infuriating.

Wonderfully acted by John David Washington, Adam Driver and Topher Grace.

It gets your blood boiling and makes you wanna do something.

It's also full of great comedic moments and one hell of an ending

BlacKkKlansman, is great movie, that manages to be thought provoking and funny at the same time. The cinematography is excellent. The only issue I had with this movie was the pacing, but nothing major. Oh, forgot to mention, great ending as well!
