Did I just watch a light-hearted buddy comedy?

Rating: 3/10 (4 March 2019)

For a movie in the "Biography, Crime, Drama" genre that is based on real events, this was a major dud. Sure, they said it was loosely based on real events, but if that were the case, why not make it more interesting instead of the overlong, pointless snoozefest this really was. It was just crammed with hipster Blacks and racist Whites. And to top it off, it also won an Oscar for the Best Adapted Screenplay? What the hell were the Academy members smoking while they voted for this movie?
Don't you get it, making a movie on Black power or White power is not going to help ease the divide that exists in our society today. The answer to a White Trump is not a Black Trump!
It felt like this whole movie was made just to show those clips from 2017 at the end to emphasize that Blacks are still being subjugated to gross mistreatment and that there are some Whites who die for the Blacks now. *sigh* There are offenders on both sides of the wall, Mr. Spike Lee. Please stop trying to add fuel to a fire that doesn't really exist; you're only making it worse.
