Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSpike Lee has a new film. BlacKkKlansman, that he hopes sinks "Agent Orange."
He doesn't even say Trump's name in the film, instead referring to him as Agent Orange (which is PERFECT!).
Rolling Stone does a review. BlacKkKlansman Review: Spike Lee Delivers a Hellraising Masterpiece
https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/blackkklansman-movie-review-spike-lee-706035/
It opens this weekend. It's based on a true story, but...
The time is the 1970s, but the filmmaker is not content with dusting off the past. His incendiary movie uses the alt-right cry of America first! to rocket his film into the festering, rancid race hatred of the Trump era.
Lee also brings in Charlottesville, the movie The Birth of A Nation, the Holocaust. The whole ball o' wax. This should be powerful.
As for sinking Trump, I'm not so sure about that, since this movie is mainly preaching to the choir. No Trumpers on fences would go see it, I think. But if it's powerful, it might light a fire under some people to get out and vote. I'm going to see it this weekend...and believe it or not, it is supposed to be showing here...here in TrumpLand. I confess I got a little excited when I found out that Alec Baldwin has a part.
