BlacKkKlansman is a biographical crime drama directed by Spike Lee, the director of Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X. The film is based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, the first African-American agent who managed to infiltrate Ku Klux Klan.
In the film, Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is one of the first African Americans to work with the police in Colorado Springs. Here he is treated as a lesser person by his colleagues because of his skin color, but Ron does not try to attract too much of it here.
In order to get a better job, Ron manages to make contact with the Ku Klux Klan by telephone and knows how to draw their interest with insults about the dark people. When Ron is invited to come by during a Klan meeting, he asks his partner Flip Zimmerman to play his role as a person.
So they infiltrate in the Klan with Flip as Ron's personal character, while Ron himself continues to work as a telephone contact with the Klan. For example, they must continue to play Ron Stallworth until they reach the Klan high enough to access most secret plans and then stop them as agents. In order to succeed in this, Ron and Flip have to keep their actions for many secrets. Flip is known as an agent and should try not to stand out too much and Ron can not easily warn befriended African Americans how to get information about the dangerous plans of the Klan.
This film plays well and informally on the problems of racism of the past and present. The film responds so realistically to how people who were formerly no white Christians were seen and treated as inferior. Despite the fact that this is no longer done so extremely, unfortunately it still happens too much that people treat their skin color or belief as negatives or are treated by, for example, extreme right-wing politics or people who have less and still remain to blame. to give. That is why this film is important to watch in order to learn and see more about this subject. For example, the end of this film contains real images of true racist situations of the past and present.
Spike Lee tells the story in this film a bit in a dark comical way to keep the film nice despite the dark theme. For example, some scenes have a laugh in the film, but in most scenes the film remains serious and exciting where the two agents try to keep their work secret. Spike Lee also added some slight adjustments to the film to make it more like a film.
The acting is also done well and realistic in the film. John David Washington has not had many major roles in his acting career, but still puts down good work as the main role of this film. He also delivers good acting that clearly shows how difficult his character is in certain scenes in this film. You can sometimes tell from his voice that he is the zoom of Denzel Washington, but despite that he gets out of the shadow of his father with this film.
Adam Driver also performs good acting and comes out especially well in the exciting scenes where he is an undercover agent between members of the Klu Klux Klan. Topher Grace David Duke plays the leader of the Klan in this film. It is special to see an actor best known from the comedy show That '70s Show now as the racist leader of the Klu Klux Klan. Like other actors who play members of the Klan, he has also admitted how difficult it is to play such a dark role, and Topher Grace also said that he felt very depressed after playing this role.
