Anyone who has seen "BlacKkKlansman" can probably understand why Nolan chose Washington Jr. to star in "Creed". It is said that Nolan made the decision after watching the movie "Black" in 2018. It must be admitted that Washington Jr., as a retired football player and half-way out of the actor star second generation, completed the role of "BlacKkKlansman" amazingly. From the very first shot, the focus and rhythm of the entire play are firmly in control. Restrained, accurate, yet subdued with a sense of humor, the film's reflections and deconstructions of the black civil rights movement are deeply and approachable. He can be a shining actor with a good script and a good director. I highly recommend director Spike lee and this script. It's based on a true story of how a black cop joined the white Ku Klux Klan and went undercover in 1970s America. How is this done? You must be wondering. Hold on, this is just one of the lines of contradiction. In addition to this, the first mission of a black police officer was to spy on black civil rights activities and fell in love with his girlfriend with different political views. A Jewish police officer who was also hated by the Ku Klux Klan and had a vague understanding of his own beliefs also participated in the undercover operation. There are also various people in the KKK and the police station, etc. This is full of contradictions, and it fills up for two hours. Exquisitely laid out and climaxing one after another, it is really a very enjoyable presentation of undercover detective type films. And success doesn't stop there. Telling this black civil rights story in 2018 has very practical significance, and it seems like a prophecy in 2020 today. Director Spike Lee used his superb skills and deep introspection to let me understand the predicament that made black people have to cry, and their own confusion and struggle about how to cry. Empathizing with the audience in a comedic way is very difficult and very advanced. The film won several best screenplay awards and completed Washington's perfect performance. I sincerely hope that Nolan can always polish his script like "The Dark Knight".
