Great but Hard to Hit Joint

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2018)

BLACKKKLANSMAN is Very Good if you like political think-pieces & undercover cop thrillers. The plot is exciting. Denzel Jr. and Kylo Ren bring their A-Game. Its jokes are funny & very necessary to relieve the Marty-McFly-HEAVY levels of tension. This Spike Lee Joint is Hard to hit at times, & doesn't let up. Don't watch this if you're easily Triggered by racial epithets, because every one in the playbook makes an appearance. Yes, that one...That one too...Uh-huh, and THAT one. So many in fact, they eventually become white noise, devoid of their shock factor, & played for laughs.
Though Left-leaning, with subtle jabs at President Trump, its message is still important for all Americans. Klansman illustrates how hate comes in All colors, and only by working together can we bring an end to the Cycle of Hate. You leave the theater hopeful, yet troubled by our country's racial hang-ups. There is brief newsreel footage right before the credits, but nothing after. You'll be discussing this one with friends and family for a while after. I give this joint a "Can't We Just Get Along?" rating.
