I underestimated just how hilarious this movie is!

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2019)

This is a very unconventional Spike Lee film and very atypical film overall. I read in a review about how humorous it was but had forgotten that previous review I had read so by the time I got around to watching it I was cracking up so hard the librarian came over to confront me about it!
Ha ha, this movie is definitely a classic and it's still very contemporary which speaks volumes. You can expand your historical knowledge and increase your vocabulary by watching this film. Spike managed to make the hero of the movie who would be a otherwise unlikable character very endearing seem oh so charming and come off as misunderstood and taken for granted!
You left the film with a sense of respect for the black cop Ron Stallworth played by John David Washington when you saw everything he had to go through and how he still was willing to when a lot of others wouldn't have and finally put his foot down when he had to and knew how to step back and follow instructions as well!
It takes a level of humility to be the leading man and still be very much behind the scenes too, my only criticism is for one John David Washington is way too dark skinned to blend into the role
aesthetically! They could of at the very least put make up on him to make him look a lot lighter oh and another thing it is already hard enough to accept that a black guy infiltrated the klan as it is, so why oh why make up a Jewish character ironically who is the furthest thing from Jewish, who plays a critical role in the movie?! Oh that is a rhetorical question , I get it I know that it is stimulating left wing propaganda however that element shouldn't have been added too much politicizing can bring things out of focus and I say this as a conservative liberal.
This is Spikes best movie, he deserved to win a oscar for it, I enjoyed watching it With all that said I still cannot say it is the type of film that I can watch over and over again.
