The first African American police officer from the city of Colorado in United States, joins the force in a time with a lot of racism and preconception. At a time"El Paso, Flip! El Paso." Based in the book Black Klansman, from Ron Stallworth. The first African American police officer from the city of Colorado in United States, joins the force in a time with a lot of racism and preconception. At a time where the Ku Klux Klan was being formed, Ron decide to infiltrate in the group and tear it down in the best way as possible, from inside, but once that he couldn't phisically get there, his partner Flip, a Jewish got to be there in the Klan. Directed by Spike Lee and writenn by Spike Lee, David Rabinowitz, Charlie Wachtel and Kevin Willmott.
This story is a real one, i'm not so sure how much of true facts we have in here and how much got invented for the narrative to flow, but i can say that it is much well successful, the story is very well told, you can understand what is going on very well, you can get who is a douchebag and who is a good person, wich side each one is, you decide if this is good or not, i think that for this story it did worked. Spike Lee was able to put in our view different sides, we can see the racists white people, the not racist white people, the militants, that, in some way, also does spread some hate as well, and our character, Ron Stallworth, is in the midway of that, he, of course, hates the racists, and also, knows that isn't all white people and cops are bad people, so he sees in the big picture, that isn't a bad or good side, except the racism one wich is bad, but in cops and in militants, there are good and bad things in both of them. The movie makes a point of showing us, brutally and raw the racism that exist, it is so ugly and nasty, there are some moments that it got me right at the "Get Out" movie for example, in dialogues and in visuals, things got hard and deep. There are a few things in the story where things could have been a bit better in my opinion, there some things that are well developed, some things that kind of feel out of place, some scenes go for so long, the movie could have been a bit shorter as well.
The acting here, i found it great. John David Washington was great, he could show me how indignant he was about the whole racism situation, he could pass me the rage that he felt when he got disrespected, i could see in his face how much he wanted to fight back, in other moments he was funny, discounting the anger like punching the air, his expressions was really nice and convencing, great job. Laura Harrier was also pretty good, she as a militant leader made me believe that people was on to her. Adam Driver is damn great, he pass through some situations that are kind of extremes, he is totally in embarrassed moments during some moments of this movie, and it seems that he always have a good answer, for more tense that his position could have been, he was the best on giving me the conflicts of being inflitrated in some group like that. Jasper Pääkkönen plays a really stereotyped guy, the way that he portrays his character is pretty close to how he plays his character in Vikings, a very agitated person that is always suspicious about others. Ryan Eggold in other hand plays a much quieter character that trust better in other words. Topher Grace as David Duke also did a good job, he can use the words really well. Alec Baldwin have a small part in this, and he is just hateful. Paul Walter Hauser is also in here, and he plays his character in the same way that any other of his characters, a drunk dumbass.
Even that the movie is in the 70's, you can see that a lot of those things still happens in nowdays, wich is sad and a terrible thing that we have in our society, this movie does criticizes the people a lot, showing how ridiculous and disgusting racist people are, Spike Lee did this with maestry, you can just feel the anger and frustration running in your veins when you see the scenes in this movie, and he did in a way that you could feel in the whole place how much wrong things was going o there.
The soundtrack of this movie is fantastic, it is so amazing, like a guitar in a epic solo, for some reason it reminded me of Jimi Hendrix. So as the photography in general, the shots in here have a 70's feeling, since the way that it got filmed, there is some really pretty moments that the camera film from the nature. There are some dutch cameras being utilized in here that represents pretty well the unbalance that is happening in the scene and also in the planet in general.
The movie also does criticizes the government openly, without letting anyone have any kind of doubt on what they are referring to, during the end, it is a really shocking thing that comes at you like a strongly punch, right at the stomach.… Expand

Polemical, didactic, confrontational, angry, trenchant - a state-of-the-nation address

BlacKkKlansman is a film with a lot on its mind. It opens with one of the most (in)famous scenes from Gone with the Wind (1939), before pivoting to a fictional precursor of Alex Jones lecturing the audience on the dangers of the "negroid", and later takes in everything from Kwame Ture to David Duke, before lambasting The Birth of a Nation (1915), criticising the tropes of classic Blaxploitation films, going into agonising detail regarding the 1916 lynching of Jesse Washington, sardonically criticising police bureaucracy, and concluding with a montage of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, intercut with Duke championing Donald Trump's presidency, and Trump's own reluctance to condemn the white supremacist component of the rally. The film then ends with an upside-down black and white American flag (a symbol for "dire distress"). Yep; this is a film with a lot to say.

Telling the story of Rob Stallworthy (John David Washington), a black police officer in Colorado Springs who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in 1979, at its core, BlacKkKlansman is about institutional racism in the United States. Written by Spike Lee, Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, and Kevin Willmott, and directed by Lee, the film's second scene clearly signals its combative intent as well as highlighting its structural intricacy. The scene depicts the fictional cultural anthropologist Dr. Kennebrew Beauregard (Alec Baldwin), who, in grainy black-and-white footage tries to alert the audience to the fact that the negorids are attempting to take over the country. What's especially well done here is how Lee uses D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation. As footage plays behind Beauregard, his face is erased of its colour - he is literally rendered white enough to become part of the image, which depicts a narrative built around the inherently virtuous nature of being white. It's a powerful shot that clearly tells us, yes, this is a comedy, and yes, these people are ridiculous, but also alerting us to the fact that Lee is not playing around here.

Lee again uses Birth in a later scene where it once more speaks to the formal complexity of the film. One of the most important of Griffith's innovations was parallel editing (known today as cross-cutting). In a nutshell, parallel editing is when two separate actions from two separate locations are intercut to suggest they are happening simultaneously, often, but not always, to heighten tension. However, Lee's genius in this scene is that he uses Birth to mock the Klan by way of, yep, parallel editing. As the KKK sit down to watch Birth, Lee intercuts them with Jerome Turner (Harry Belafonte) telling the story of the lynching of Jesse Washington, which saw a crowd of over 10,000 people in Waco cheering on as his testicles and fingers were cut off, after which he was slowly burned to death by being continually raised over a fire. Lee uses parallel editing here so as to have one scene comment on the other - he is literally using Birth's own innovations against it and what it represents.

But what is Lee's point? Simply put, he is condemning the cultural instability of the US in 2018, with its entrenched institutional racism, hateful rhetoric masquerading as national pride, the breakdown of the distinction between xenophobia and patriotism, and the transition of hate crimes from the fringes of society into the realm of social acceptability. The film suggests that organisational racism once existed half-way between the absurd and the dangerous, but in recent years, it has moved in the wrong direction. The closing montage, featuring footage of the Unite the Right rally and Trump's asinine response, drops all pretence of humour, and becomes very much a state-of-the-nation address.

All of this is not to say the film is perfect, however. For example, how he employs the double dolly shot (which he has used throughout his filmography to suggest characters' inability to control their own actions as they are inexorably pushed forward, divested of the contextualisation of their environment), suggests that orthodox black activism and underground black militancy must combine forces in the face of hate. The film also glosses over Stallworth's time in COINTELPRO, where he worked to sabotage radical black organisations. Additionally, a fictional explosion towards the end of the story serves to distastefully simplify everything, once more making the KKK look foolish, whilst also positing Stallworth as a clichéd movie hero, something Lee has avoided up until this point.

These are relatively minor complaints, however. Look, Lee is far from my favourite filmmaker, and he himself has been justifiably accused of racism on multiple occasions. None of that, however, changes the fact that this is an hilarious, powerful, insightful, and frightening piece of work.… Expand

Spike Lee, cineasta que grabó la pésima re-make de Oldboy regresa con una película muy bien filmada, con un estupendo trabajo en la estética, al momento de recrear épocas y momentos.

Una película que funciona como un policial serio, por momentos, pero no deja de ser muy entretenida. Valiéndose de un humor irónico y sarcástico Lee trae una historia, que como pocas reflexiona sobre un tema delicado y necesario, como el año pasado Jordan Peele (quien produce esta película) demostró con ¡Huye! Lo mejor de la película es el final, una escena tenso y bien filmada, pero a la vez grotesca en indignante de ataques raciales reales, mostrando la porquería de realidad (como anuncia en el trailer) en la que aún se vive. También es destacable la escena en donde vemos a un hombre que recuerda el revuelo que causo la película El nacimiento de una nación, que como se explica, fue la causante del resurgimiento del KkKlan.

Un recuento de las película de explotación de los 70´s, con un gran elenco y un mensaje contundente y claro. De lo mejor del año… Expand

Basada en una historia real, Ron Stallworth, interpretado por John David Washington (hijo de Denzel Washington), es un policía negro en cubierto que logra infiltrarse en la organización del KKK para evitar una confrontación social trágica.
Spicke Lee reconoce la fortaleza que la lección de su #película tiene, sin embargo, la combinación de humores, aunque anima al público, también le quita intensidad al proyecto. Por lo tanto, la actuación se contrarresta y no hay un momento dramático central en la historia que esté liderado por el elenco principal. Aunque sí hay un momento clímax, este se construye plenamente por el desarrollo de eventos y la música, la cual, interpuesta entre la comedia y el drama, solo agrega una sensación de exageración.
Y aunque sí hay una poética visual, esta no se encuentra en el cuerpo de la narración y solo se presenta cuando la dirección decide agregar decoración visual a la esencia de ésta. Por ultimo, la película cuenta con un final algo encimado. Aunque es correcto y tiene éxito en generar un impacto y conciencia social, este trata de cerrar el ambiente de la película con cierta intensidad que no precisamente arregla el temple del proyecto total. Siendo honesto, realmente no estoy familiarizado con el cine de Spike Lee, pero, independientemente del contexto social y cinematográfico del director, "BlacKkKlansman" es un desarrollo de eventos entretenido de ver y con una cereza muy dulce para un pastel que es de fácil digestión.

Based in a real life story, Ron Stallworth, performed by John David Washington (Son of Denzel Washington), is a black undercover cop that managed to infiltrate to the KKK organization to avoid a tragical social confrontation.
Spike Lee knows the strength of the lesson that his movie has, nevertheless, the combination of humor, if it animates the public, also takes the intensity away of the project. So, the acting counteracts and there's not a central dramatic moment in the story led by the principal cast. Even though there's a climax moment, this is mostly done by the development of the events and the music, which, in between the comedy and the drama, only adds a sensation of exaggeration. And even though there's a visual poetic, this is not in the body of the narration and it's presented only when the direction decides to add a visual decoration to the essence of it. At last, the movie has an ending quite topped. Even though it's correct and succeeds to give a social impact and consciousness, the movie tries to close the ambient of the movie with certain intensity that doesn't really fix the temper of the whole project. Being honest, I'm not really familiarized with the cinema of Spike Lee, but, independently of the social and cinematographic context of the director, "BlacKkKlansman" is an entertaining development of events to watch with a cherry too sweet for a cake that is of easy digest.… Expand

The same is true of Lee’sSpike Lee has always been a refreshingly brazen filmmaker; with movies like Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X, the director is not one to shy away from political statements all delivered with distinct style and zest. The same is true of Lee’s latest film, the creatively helmed BlacKkKlansman, a fictionalised telling of the memoir of black Colorado cop, Ron Stallworth and his risky infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan. Here, Spike Lee is at his best, painting an enticing tonal mix of humour and horror that feels all too topical.
Son of Denzel, John David Washington stars as Stallworth, the so-called “Jackie Robinson of the Colorado Springs Police Department” and the first black officer. Ron’s ethnic background makes him the man for an undercover mission spying on black activist Kwame Ture (Corey Hawkins), as he excites the city’s discontented African-American community. Soon enough, however, Ron is caught up at the other end of the racial spectrum as he and partner Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) attempt to infiltrate their local chapter of the KKK by posing as a budding white supremacist. It’s a life-risking double act as Flip becomes the “face” of Ron Stallworth, as the real Ron rises the ranks through incidental phone calls with KKK Grand Wizard David Duke (Topher Grace).
BlacKkKlansman is a film that presents racism in an interesting way, almost as a dichotomy between the ridiculous and threatening. The script is a genius work, jolting along with the speed of a bullet between moments of almost absurdist comedy to those of darker truth. A particularly good example is that of a racist couple cosying up to one another in bed, dreamily discussing their plans for homemade terrorism. This is a film where white supremacy is served with cheese and crackers and social commentary is accompanied by bizarre humour. Lee does a superb job of balancing these tones, catching the laughs in one’s throat within a net of horror. This clashing approach continues throughout the film, even into Terence Blanchard’s innovative score, which jumps from the safety of strings to impassioned guitar riffs.
Washington and Driver are two very-well cast leads; the former’s delightfully dry yet nuanced performance allows the film to stay grounded. Driver’s performance is equally captivating; in many ways, Flip has the scarier side of the job, having to meet the members of the Klan face to face hoping they believe the caricature and stay masked to his Jewish heritage. An opening cameo by Trump-impersonator himself, Alec Baldwin reminds one of the trenchant relevance of Lee’s film; the costume design and jukebox soundtrack lend it all the authenticity of a 70s period piece, but the inclusion of Trumpist slurs, ironic asides and a heart wrenching final sequence remind us that BlacKkKlansman is very much a film for today. There are points where the film seems a little too self-aware, but perhaps it is intended to be; from the profane tagline right to the end credits, Lee is truly in control of his craft and the message he wants to put forward. Performances by Washington and Driver are brilliant and credit is due to Get Out’s Jordan Peele for the pitch, but the real star here is Spike Lee. With BlacKkKlansman, the director returns to form with satire as it should be; sickeningly hilarious, yet equally as shocking and, most of all, with something important to say.… Expand

Spike Lee’s career is full of peaks and valleys. Lee has always been aware of the power of film to directly and indirectly affect and influence audiences. At times, he can be overly didactic and forget to capture viewer attentions with entertainment. Other times he perfectly blends his skills as a visual storyteller with a message or issue he wants to address with incredible results. His latest film, BlacKkKlansman, is definitely a peak. It tells the unbelievably true story of Ron Stallworth, a black undercover police officer who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado Springs in the 1970’s. Lee, working with a screenplay by Charlie Wachtel & David Rabinowitz and Kevin Willmott & himself, based on Stallworth’s book, bundles a true story, a crime thriller, and a social drama about race and racism together with a lively and even comedic tone for a film that is as entertaining as it is unsettling.

John David Washington (yes, Denzel’s son) plays Ron Stallworth, the first black police officer in Colorado Springs. Stallworth begins his career in the records room but after he is reassigned to the intelligence unit, he begins an investigation into the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. The rookie Stallworth makes a rookie mistake, however, and gives his real name to the Klan recruiter he speaks to over the phone. So, when the Klan wants to meet him, Stallworth enlists fellow undercover cop Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) to pose as white Ron Stallworth in person while he pretends to be white Ron Stallworth over the phone. Like I said, an unbelievable true story.

John David Washington handles both the lighter and heavier material in BlackKklansman with ease. His character never saw any conflict in being a both cop and a black person until he meets and begins a potential romance with Patrice (Laura Herrier) the head of the Black Student Union he was initially assigned to investigate. Adam Driver gives a great low-key performance as Flip. Driver portrays him as an average person that is very good at his job but finds himself in an unusual, extraordinary situation. It’s the kind of subtle performance that usually gets overlooked during awards season but Driver has managed to pick up a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination. Stallworth’s infiltration of the Klan over the phone leads to many conversations with the head of the KKK, David Duke. Topher Graceplays Duke almost too well, capturing the insidious affability and unassuming presence that was meant to be the new face of the Klan.

Throughout BlacKkKlansman, other movies are referenced to show the power of cinema in regards to race and culture. The movie opens with one of the most famous shots from Gone With the Wind and a recreation of a racist propaganda film from the 1950’s. The classic Tarzan movies and Blaxploitation films are also referenced. The most emotionally affecting scene for me comes when Harry Belafonte, as an elderly speaker at a Black Student Union gathering, shares how a harrowing injustice he witnessed as a boy was inspired by the silent epic The Birth of a Nation. In 1915, D.W. Griffith, a pioneer of early filmmaking who invented much of the basic language of cinema, made the first big budget, epic film. It portrayed the KKK as the heroes and protectors of post-Civil War white Southerners. After its release, it inspired hate crimes and revived the long extinct KKK. Film historians have long wrestled with how to present or teach The Birth of a Nation; it’s importance to film history is as undeniable as the movie is revolting. I think Spike Lee has finally found a way to present both the importance and the horrendous nature of The Birth of a Nation.

BlacKkKlansman seems to be unsure of what note it wants to leave the audience on. It is a very entertaining and even comedic story but also a serious one dealing with problems that are still unfortunately relevant today. Lee inserts real footage from the Charlottesville protests to emphasize that the KKK is still a real and dangerous threat (and of course he is correct). Though this documentary footage packs a powerful emotional punch, it would in any context and feels inorganically tacked on. It is one of a few missteps in an otherwise entertaining and powerful piece of cinema.… Expand

I was glad to see a project more orginal and not designed to shock you but to make you think. Overall, I enjoyed this film. Its cast for the most part was good, the cinematography at times was excellent, the dialogue was smooth and enjoyable. I do have some grievaces about the movie and that is why I gave a mixed score. Some of the actors fell short, mainly "Flip", some scenes were a bit too long, and at times; mainly in the first half I was extremly bored. Knowing that this is Oscar noinated for best picture, I am surprised because I do think that this was a slightly above average film, albeit with a satisfying ending, but then again are we to be that surprised that as politically concerned as the academy is to be awarding a political movie, probably not. I hope we begin awarding movies for its artistic value and creativity and make representation and equality a given standard that is appreciated but not projected as a rare advancement, which sometimes comes across as a public stunt to gain better opinion. This film does has creativity and some would call it artisic. I just think its interesting and deserves to be watched, just not awarded so highly.… Expand

The fact that this is a story about an undercover mission leads the audiences to a lot of tension through the entire movie and that's what kept me invested in the movie all the time. The performances are really good, all the actors do a great job playing their characters and made them really charismatic and fun to watch. Obviously this has social commentary about topics like racism and while sometimes it's really on-the-nose it's never annoying or forced, it leads to shocking and interesting scenes and dialogue that talks about the issues back then and that can be also relatable for today.

The only complaint I might have was the anticlimatic ending, containing some clips from actual real world footage that feel forced. But a bad ending doesn't really change my opinion and I still think this is a great movie.… Expand

O longa também dá espaço para mensagens importantes, abre algumas discussões em relação ao próprio movimento, quanto a fragmentação, por exemplo; e ainda conta com um elenco excelente, que convence e entrega o necessário quando é preciso.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a film based on a true story and that made me interested in it. The cast is good (particularly John David Washington and Adam Driver) and the way the plot develops is good. Its worth hanging around for the final scene, which I thought was quite satisfying. It certainly highlights how horrendous the KKK are, for their vile views and some of the nonsense their followers believe. I'd hope those who support such organisations wouldn't find anything positive about them when watching such a film but then, who knows these days frankly. I thought it was a good film as a piece of social commentary certainly - quite how the main character managed not to lose his what-not when conversing with members of the local 'Klan' is, quite frankly, beyond me. I would recommend this film, yes. It makes for an understandably sobering watch with obviously strong language featured, including strong racial slurs but then of course that makes it more realistic I suppose, as sad as that is.… Expand

It is sad that the memory of so many needs to be refreshed because racism is one of the most shameful repulsions in human history.

The film itself is a success and shines with a good acting performance. Above all Adam Driver is brilliant all along the line.… Expand

The cinematography and writing are very good, however some less desirable aspects of Spike Lee’s style seep in when paralleling Donald Trump. Not that I even disagree with the comparison, but it was done with no level of subtlety, unlike the other very nuanced dialogue. The acting steals the show, John David Washington and Adam Driver are amazing as the two main leads. I did mention before about ‘less desirable aspects’ of Spike Lee’s style, but he does have some nice moments where his personality shines through, particularly when the main character is talking to the love interest about their favourite Blaxploitation heroes. Overall, a great film, definitely check it out.… Expand

Tragic in comedic but still terrific all around! One of the best anti-racism films of all time! Another triumph to Spike Lee!!

Based on true story, but the film won Academy award for ”best adapted screenplay” which means this film isn’t 100% true story, and that could be pros and cons of it. The pros obviously are; it already had outrageously great source material while the cons doubtingly are; will they add some fictional stuff that fits for its source material?

In my opinion, they did. I’m so confident to say Spike Lee do the right thing since the openning scene, he blended his own personal criticism on film history (when Spike was in NYU film school) with the true story of Ron Stallworth flawlessly by their well-crafted screenplay.

I’ve seen some people complained about its comedic vibes that apparently ruined the mood of this film, which I totally disagree… I mean, seeing those american white supremacists were completely blindfolded by black cop is wonderfully pure joke and joy, isn't this what we call comedy? Plus, many stupid ways of how they tried to describe themselves what true white people is, is ridiculously icing on top for me.

Beside the comedic vibes, it firmly holds its anti-racism messages all along. I believed Spike Lee only used those comedic vibes just to make audiences put their guards down for awhile, before he threw his hardest-hitting punch at the end of the film solidly.… Expand

Es una historia real muy interesante y fascinante; la trama es muy buena y las actuaciones son excelentes; se nos muestra la cruda realidad del racismo en los Estados Unidos de América.

The cast is a fantastic. John Washington and Adam Driver both did splendid work. You may start liking both characters and their bonding. This shows how much pure acting they did. Director Spike Lee did a great job in converting a real life story into a movie but I have a complaint. He should not have added fictional events in this movie like main character's girlfriend and bombing scene. If you are making a real life story, then I don't find a reason to add some fictional things when there's a lot to tell. Also, at some points the movie suffers from pacing but it doesn't alter your experience. You will still enjoy it. The drama, tense, comedy everything was blend perfectly. It all looked natural, nothing like acting or scripted. Overall, a very nice movie which I would suggest everyone to give a try.… Expand
