Spike Lee's comedy+horror
23 June 2020
What makes this movie more gutting & funny at the same time is that this is a true story. The horror of those kind of acts actually happening and the laughing stock of how they fooled KKK.

This movie is wonderful acted by Washington and Adam Driver. Topher Grace as David Duke was a scene stealer.

Thank god Spike had a comedic/more entertaining vibe to the film, he did balanced the comedy and horror quite good. The satirical approach makes the film more accessible for the inner message to reach a boarder audience. I have no problems with minor changes to history for entertainment value.

Spike didn't just let the story from a biased-political agenda, he had the Black Panther group. The confrontational scene between Patrice and Ron was well handled with great movitations shown by each character.

The story is unique and exciting but I sadly saw the trailer so the excitement of discovering the movie died for me and I felt bored in the first half, as nothing new was happening. After this I decided to stop watching trailers for indie, oscar films.

The end clips made me feel speechless and how to this day, the horrors exist and why we need more of these film.

Compare to this years Da 5 Five Bloods, this is a more entertaining film but Da 5 Bloods has more artistic merit to it.
