BlacKkKlansman- A new high in political cinema

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2018)

BlacKkKlansman is a great film. This is the only film this year where I took as much away from it as I did. It really makes you think of the controversial decisions made in society today. The son of famous actor Denzel Washington, John David Washington, is in this film and he gives his star performance. Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) also gives a fine performance as a Jewish cop pretending to be a klan member. This real meat on the bone is at the end when the last ten minutes come and it's footage of the Black Lives Matter group and Presdient Trump explaining some controversial stuff. By the final shot of the film, my mind blew with its powerful symbolism and realistic message. Tis might be my favorite film of the year, it might beat Hereditary and A Quite Place, it may not. The first half is pretty slow however and some odd comedic timing, which are my only real flaws with this movie. I'm gonna give BlacKkKlansman an 8/10.
