This is the best way I can described. The movie has put me through so many different emotions. I've laughed (the movie has a strangely, but amazing sense of humor). I got angry. I got shocked. And I got sad.
This is the type of story, we should stop, and listen to the message. It talks about a real thing, that everyone should be scared of. At least, everyone that isn't a jerk.
Anyways, talking about the movie itself. I love how they put Topher Grace to play the Duke, I mean, I don't know i that was the goal, but everyone role Topher Grace is in, I can't see nothing else but Eric Forman (an skinny, loud, and dumb dude). He sounds like an prepotent idiot. And that's just gold, when you realize who he is playing.
I love Adam Drive's performance, the dude is fantastic, amazing, as always, and I got his nomination, but John David Washington is awesome, he holds the movie in his shoulders for a lot of times. But overall, everyone is great in the movie, full of awesome performances. But a special should out to Laura Harrier, who is amazing as the president of the black movement, and, man, Corey Hawkins has basically one scene (the speech in the beginning of the movie), but wow, he simple destroys.
I can't forget about Jasper Pääkkönen also, it's the first time I see something that he did, and man, he is incredible here, you have him for the first minute he's in the screen! And the character's goal is exactly that.
I love how they do kind of a parallel between Drive's character and Ron (with in the beginning one "defending" that one of the orgs - the black one and the KKK - "weren't that bad"), you see kind of example in how sometimes, we can do wrong judgements, because certain group is "similar" to us in some capacity (in this case, the skin color). Also talking about parallels, one of the most powerful scenes in the entire movie is the one they intercut between the KKK reunion, and the black power group reunion, the story which is told, is sad, but powerful, is at this point you start to be angry/scared until the end of it.
The scene where they are watching The Birth of a Nation is incredible, and specially for me, I've never thought about the movie from this point of view (I thought more about all the technical innovations it brought to the screen), it gave KKK the power they had lost again. Yeah, screw that, screw you D.W. Griffith, you're jerk.
The end is strong, is powerful, and it's majorly scary. It scares me (even though I'm not black) to see how dangerous the world can be, how hateful people can be, how distorted beliefs could transform a neighbourhood, a city, a state, a country... in a war zone. And most of all, how bad leaders, elected by people who mainly think about politics once every 2 years, could bring everything together. No, KKK members are not "fine people", it's about give more power to "one side" (whatever this may be), equality is about giving everyone the same amount of power/voice. KKK is not this, it's a bunch of white privileged racist jerks, that want to prove some dumb point.
A last couple of things about the plot thought, that may be the only bad things I can think about the movie:
In the speech scene the editing is weird, they cut to a lot of faces in a black background, I thought it was odd, and they did it several times.
He just starts an investigation by... calling? I mean, he saw an advertise "ok, I think I'll give it a shot", really? I know it's hard to talk about those specific things in a "based on a true story" movie, but anyways.
Someone (from the police) puts him inside a KKK EVENT? How bad were that cops supposed to be? Are you putting your only black cop to be a security man in an event with a lot of extremist racists?
To wrap up, BlacKkKlansman is a fantastic movie, which approaches a truly complex and important subject that must not be ignore in recent days. We must talk about it.
9,5/10
