Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018) by Aguila9 — 14 Apr 2019

I'm recalling that silly ending to Schindeler's List where present-day survivors and sympathizers are putting rocks on his tomb: cue in violins, pander, please tell me what and how to feel, reassure me the story was all real life events.

Now imagine that same paint-by-numbers direction filling an entire film. he only thing, literally, missing was Spike Lee leaning into the shot at addressing the viewer, "Ok guys, another terrible thing is going to happen, people shouldn't behave like this.

.. now roll scene." You don't kneed to treat the audience like dim-wits, we can absolutely draw the parallels and see the present day importance of this film's subject without the Mickey Mouse Club "educational cues".
