BlackkKlansman movie

I saw the movie last night and highly recommend it.

Great cast

Some humor and some substance

Left the movie theater wanting to read Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth which is the inspiration for the movie.

At the end of the Colorado Springs story Spike Lee brings the viewer to 2017 America and that segment is a gut punch.

This movie tells a very timely story for the times that we are living in.

4. I just came back from it. Without a doubt, Spike Lee's greatest movie, which says a lot.

I actually left the theater weeping, in part for the death of Heather Heyler, and in part for my country, that an open racist has come to power in it.

I know that Lee didn't write the script over all, but it actually was worthy of Shakespeare, comic relief, horror and tragedy and a good deal of history in it.

I recommend no one miss this film.

Powerful, moving, and more frightening than any horror movie you will ever see.

but man was that ever tense.

Great movie. The ending was quite a wake up call.

Grudgingly admitted how good it was.

I have no idea when it'll come to NE TN, if ever.
