[Micro Film Review] After "Malcolm X" (Malcolm X), I still have some expectations for Spike Lee, but he has not made a good work for many years. The new film, "BlackkKlansman," is still a disappointment, and raises the question: Can it be made into a political propaganda film?
The film tells the story of a black-Jewish police officer in the early 1970s who broke into the KKK's internal investigation. At that time, the racial conflicts in the United States were profound, the Ku Klux Klan was popular, and the black civil rights movement was still warm. Although the plot should be good-looking, looking at Trump's campaign slogans (pictures 2, 3, 4, 5), it is still shocking: this anti-Sichuan doctrine is too fruitless, right?
Sure enough, the film ends with Trump's speech and the far-right racist riots that followed him, which is a failure.
The charm of literature and art is not in directly stating politics, but in being thought-provoking and inspired by epiphany. If the film is only for accusation, it will inevitably fail to reach the level.
Besides, the music of this movie.... Random paste, sound and picture are out of harmony, it is simply not the level of semi-finished products. Does Spike Lee have cloudy ears too?
