Violence is as American as apple pie, as Spike Lee is not shy about dramatizing. Why should he be? The director of \u201cBLACKkKLANSMAN\u201d my have jump-started his career with his successful opener, \u201cShe\u2019s Gotta Have It,\u201d then proceeded to hone in on what is truly important if we are to hope for a country more rational in its politics. \u201cMalcolm X,\u201d \u201cDoing the Right Thing,\u201d \u201cDriving Miss Daisy\u201d can be appreciated for entertainment value as well as their political importance, and now with \u201cBLACKkKLANSMAN\u201d he carves a drama that could serve as a background for today\u2019s news headlines in an entertaining, persuasive, provocative and downright exciting film. That he makes a few inevitable cracks about our president is practically a given. Yet that he is restrained when reminding us of the stupidity of Trump\u2019s comments about neo-Nazis and their Antifa counter-protesters \u201cthere are good people on both sides.\u201d That restraint serves him well, allowing us to watch his story unfold without the taint of yellow journalism. Some of the scenes are so pumped up you might find it difficult to believe that the movie is based on the true story of a black police officer in Colorado Springs, the first African-American hired by the local force and used to infiltrate the local Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n

The violent opening is a scene from the 1939 film \u201cGone with the Wind,\u201d a battlefield of the Civil War with hundreds dead trumping the romance between a manipulative woman and a roguish man. Toward the conclusion he affords us a look at D.W. Griffith\u2019s 1915, a pro-Klan, 3-hour project with unflattering looks at black men (played by whites in blackface) acting sexually aggressive toward white women. Ultimately he pays attention to the Charlottesville, Virginia white nationalist rally in a formerly quiet college town. Given an obligatory explosion near the finale and a little gunplay now and then, \u201cBLACKkKLANSMAN\u201d eschews outright killing in favor of presenting a damning look at the racism of the Klan during the 1970s, portraying David Duke as a leader who favors substituting a businesslike organization for the more radical and thuggish cross-burners\u2014all the more influential if the Klan hope to influence American government. Or should we say \u201cinfluence the government further?\u201d<\/p>\n

John David Washington turns in an extraordinary performance as Detective Ron Stallworth, a neat, handsome African-American who becomes the first of his race to be hired by the Colorado Springs police department. Initially assigned to the stock room which bored him no end (and where he has to put up with the one outwardly racist cop), he is transferred at his request to narcotics, then suddenly re-assigned once again\u2014to infiltrate the Klan. What? A black man being accepted by the Klan? Not exactly. His phone voice\u2014the king\u2019s English in which he claims to be as fluent as he is in jive\u2014is his, but Ron Stallworth\u2019s identity will be taken by Detective Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), a Jewish cop who must convince the KKK that he is Aryan white. Felix Kendrickson (Jasper P\u00e4\u00e4kk\u00f6nen) is wary, insisting that he take a lie detector test and show him his \u201cdick,\u201d but he is accepted by the others. When the real Ron Stallworth is not on the phone, he is romancing Patrice Dumas (Laura Harrier), an Angela Davis lookalike who is president of the black students\u2019 union, which had been the audience of a fiery speech by Kwame Ture (Corey Hawkins). Ultimately we have to suspend disbelief when Stallworth is ordered to guard the life of David Duke (Topher Grace) when the Klan leader visits Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

If you insist that a movie stay consistent in tone, you may find difficulty marrying the sometime uproarious comedy with the darkness that surrounds it, but this is a work of fiction, however based on a true account, and director Lee knows exactly how to entertain at the same time as warning us\u2014as he does in a final scene that America is in dire straits. Have you kept up with current politics via CNN, the Rachel Maddow Show, MSNBC, the New York Times, and all the other progressive media that cut through the sickness at the heart of our current political situation? Without explicitly saying so, Lee encourages us to go to the polls this November to try to take back our country\u2014certainly not in the way that our \u201cleadership\u201d today would like, but as rational people who fear the push into authoritarianism by a president who disses the Prime Minister of Canada while at the same time glorifying Vladimir Putin and North Korea\u2019s Kim. <\/p>\n

The supporting actors are terrific, making good use of a witty, yet grandiloquent script, the movie shot by Chayse Irvin in Ossining, NY among other locations and given a huge emotional boost by Terence Blanchard\u2019s 1970s rhythm-and-blues soundtrack.<\/p>\n
