Will make a make a mark. Unreal true story by and large, still timely (unfortunately), and my oh my what a powerful ending. Will be Lees most watched movie.
Thought he did a great job tying the story into present day events. Solid, entertaining effort.Will make a make a mark. Unreal true story by and large, still timely (unfortunately), and my oh my what a powerful ending. Will be Lees most watched movie.
Some of the hype reminds me of The Departed and Martin Scorsese. The Academy making up for past transgressions and all that. BlacKkKlansman is still a powerful and important film IMO, it's just not Lee's best or even top five.I don't know. I thought it was pretty freaking awful. Cartoonish characters and laughably bad dialog, and the film's message had the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Insulting to the audience's intelligence. After watching Sorry to Bother You and Blindspotting this summer, this movie pales in comparison. I can't believe that people are talking about Oscars for it. If the director was anyone but Lee, there'd be months of re-shoots and edits to make this releaseable. Putting aside the important issues at the center of it, this is a bargain barrel dvd at the 7-11 kind of film.
i think that is a little harsh . . . but, yes, the film is overrated. not bad, but not oscar-worthy.I don't know. I thought it was pretty freaking awful.
