Did Lee change his movie because of the current political climate?

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2020)

I suspect this film may have been intended as a comedy, but, given the current climate, Lee chose to focus more on the underlying political message and re-cut it accordingly. This would explain why the movie felt so cumbersome and disorientated, especially towards the end. Given the rave reviews this was a big disappointment.
