A controversial movie asks for a controversial review

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2019)

Thanks to the possible and potential metaphysical powers that are at play in this world, I watched this movie a couple of nights ago.
It was just the movie I needed to watch in order to focus my anger, my frustration and my sadness towards the human kind to fight the right battles.
Its director, Spike Lee, just like Gandhi, Mandela, Buddha or Jesus Christ, is not a myth. He is a human being with his own shortcomings, just like you and me. But just like the aforementioned names, he is a human being deserving of the respect and notoriety he enjoys among us, since he's doing "god's work".
I always believed cinema to be one of the most powerful communication media that exist in this planet. This movie proves this assertion.
This movie is important not only for portraying the shameful history of racism and organized intolerance, which is so common to all the Western countries - possibly to all the countries in the world, really.
This movie is important to show us all how necessary it is to fight injustice, intolerance and ignorance. I know many fellow Brazilians understand what and who I'm talking about, and the moment we're living right now.
Nobody will ever live in peace until we start to fix this world for real.
Nobody will ever experience real love until each human being inhabiting this planet stops being treated like dirt by ignorant people, people who devote their lives to hatred.
There is no place for neutrality, pacifism or amnesty, as responses to the absurd times we're living.
The struggle happens every day and will happen forever. As long as there is injustice, our lives will remain being meaningless.
There will only be true love when extreme poverty, intolerance and injustice has been ridden away from the surface of Earth.
We have the means, the numbers and the power to set in motion this revolution. Will power is not on short supply, either.
Power to black people! Power to the native peoples of the Americas! Power to women! Power to gays, lesbians, trans people and all the minorities. Power to religious freedom and to the non-religious. Power to the poor, the sick and the hungry.
The intolerant folk can destroy one or other person, but they'll never manage to destroy an idea. They will never destroy the idea of equality. The human being is naturally good, gregarious and social. Enough tolerance to the insanity and stupidity of small minds!
The war has begun.
Aux armes, citoÿens!
Oh, and watch this movie. It's excellent. From the very first second to the very last.
