Time for truth

Rating: 5/10 (15 September 2018)

I don't know how true this story was. I did enjoy watching it, but coming from a non racist area of California I found the KKK members to be outrageous and they seemed like caricatures. Are they really that bad and ignorant? I found the soft touch depiction of the Black Panthers and their talking about arming themselves for the coming civil war and the blatant, over the top murderous, ignorant depiction of the KKK slightly revealing. I value truth and don't want to be manipulated at the theater. The movie was good and funny at times. But the whole idea that Trump was calling the neo-Nazis "good people" at the end of the film is just more lies and this is what keeps this stupid race war going. Trump was not approving of the thugs of the neo-nazis or of the thugs of anti-fa. He was referring to people who don't want every single statue in the south torn down because young people today paint every single soldier in the Civil War as evil. This was half of America, people, was everyone a demon? No. And some people at that march in Charlottesville simply wanted to stop statues from being knocked down. Then, the thugs of Anti-fa and the thugs of KKK and neo-Nazis showed up and now Trump's words are used by the left to brand him a "racist", their favorite word. Sad that that twisting of the facts had to end the movie. Sad that Jordan Peele seems to share that belief. I love Peele's comedy but that part of the movie ruined it for me. Other than the blatant anti-Trump message, I liked the movie.
