Today I will introduce an American movie "Blackklansman".
The title of the film is BlacKkKlansman / Black Klansman (2018), alias Undercover King (Hong Kong).
The film is based on Ron Stallworth's 2014 autobiography, which is legendary in its own right.
He broke into the Ku Klux Klan as a black police officer, and the huge contrast formed a strong dramatic effect.
In today's politically correct situation, with the increasingly loud voice of "Black Matters", director Spike Lee chose to put this story on the big screen and compete for an Oscar, which is obviously a very wise choice.
The story takes place in the 1970s, and Ron Stallworth is a rookie cop in Colorado and the first black cop in the bureau. Ron was unwilling to be a new rookie, he wanted to express himself and wanted more opportunities.
Soon the opportunity came, and Ron's interest was aroused by the newspaper "a certain organization" Ku Klux Klan recruiting people. Ku Klux Klan is the notorious KKK, and Ron pretended to be a white accent and called. The first sentence was "I hate niggas", which attracted the attention of the surrounding white police officers.
Soon, with his language talent and eloquence skills, he successfully entered the KKK organization and became an undercover agent. The comedy and suspenseful effects mainly rely on black identity and the contrast of the Ku Klux Klan.
After a long undercover operation, Ron helped the local police station grasp the extremist movements of the Ku Klux Klan and successfully avoided a terrorist attack.
In the 1970s, the Ku Klux Klan revived, and in the 1970s, the Black Panther Party was in full swing.
The Ku Klux Klan (Ku Klux Klan, abbreviated as KKK), the word Ku-Klux comes from the Greek KuKloo, which means assembly, and Klan means race.
In 1915, a classic film, The Birth of a Nation, greatly glorified the Ku Klux Klan and revived the ultra-nationalist group of white supremacy. "BlacKkKlansman" devoted a climax to "The Birth of a Nation", using parallel editing to criticize racism.
Spike Lee retaliates with his own way. The shooting method of "The Birth of a Nation" is very classic. Many film processing methods have been used to this day, but if the theme is wrong, I dare to criticize you.
Since its establishment in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan has adopted violent means against other ethnic groups and likes to assassinate dissidents with different political views. After several ups and downs, this organization slowly turned underground. Therefore, the KKK seen in this film is mysterious and has the taste of an underground organization.
At the same time, the Black Panther Party was also active in the United States. In 1966, the Black Panther Party, a black American society, was established, which is a radical black democrat organization in American history. Their purpose is to fight racism and what they consider to be an oppressive economic and political system. They also use violent means to fight racial oppression, and even conflict with the police. Later, with the killing of many leaders, the Black Panther Party gave up extreme methods.
The story takes place in this turbulent era, when the forces of black and white are both on the rise, and the ideas of both sides are completely left. The police in the middle naturally do not want violence.
"BlacKkKlansman" only briefly mentioned the Black Panther Party, and spent a lot of ink describing the ugly face of the Ku Klux Klan.
This is very understandable, the film will always reflect the director's demands. Just as "Birth of a Nation" glorifies the KKK, even if it doesn't glorify the Black Panther Party, "BlacKkKlansman" doesn't reflect the extreme behavior of the Black Panther Party. It's like referring to Martin Luther by saying "Have a dream" but not his private life.
This is originally a film that reflects the demands of black people, and naturally it will not shoot the inappropriate words and deeds of black people.
"BlacKkKlansman" takes a comedic approach to this heavy topic, and the story isn't a comedy. The way directors choose comedy is actually one of the few choices. If it was made into a drama, it would be too serious.
The white people who hold the right to speak are shouting political correctness, but they are actually shouting while enjoying various vested interests. If it is really made into a highly critical work that touches the pain of white people, then don’t even think about winning an award.
The "Green Book" of the same period also adopted a light comedy approach to perform racial issues, and the effect was very good. Too heavy a way will narrow the audience, not conducive to winning. "Green Book" is very clever. White people are sitting behind the scenes smiling, and black people are in the foreground. Black and white are happy.
Therefore, "Green Book" can win the best picture at the 91st Academy Awards, and "BlacKkKlansman" can only win the best adapted screenplay. Everything has a formula.
A crying child has milk. The black people shouted Black Matters, and the white people also shouted: White Matters, but no one cares about the yellow people. The so-called people who emphasize that they are victims of racism are just hoping to attract attention and reap more benefits.
Whoever has the right to speak can make a voice, and the worst is those who don't even have the right to speak...
When the economy goes down, extreme nationalism rises. Everyone is targeting foreigners. These foreigners can be of different origins, skin colors, or religious beliefs. As long as they are a little bit different from their own race, they can become a channel for attacks and venting.
Race, religion, and class are all the result of forced indoctrination. There are differences among human beings, but these have nothing to do with race and religion. Individual differences are formed innately. As long as the corresponding resources can be obtained the day after tomorrow, good development can be achieved.
Racists don't think that way. They blame others for their difficulties instead of finding the reasons for themselves. Everyone thinks that the other party is an idiot and that everything they do is the right thing to do.
These people are either stupid or stupid, and they simply and rudely attribute real-life misfortunes to artificial differences. In the United States, it is the most obvious racial discrimination. In another environment, it is similar to regional discrimination.
As shown in the roundup of various news clips released at the end of the film, politicians make full use of the anger of fools to gain their own political capital, incite hatred, and earn votes in mutual hatred. Do the slogans "America First" and "Make America Great Again" sound all too familiar by now. Angry racists vented through violent means, creating violent terrorist incidents and further dividing society.
A long road to equality,
An ineffective communication dream.
