First off cinema should only be seen on your phone while flying. I must give it up to the airlines though, they are now building holders into the seat backs to hold the various devices for viewing.
This film has been getting the buzz and I always need to know what the buzz is about. Suffice it to say that after seeing the film I still don't see what the buzz is about. To be fair, a lot of Spike Lee films leave me cold.
In the case of BlacKKKlansman, a black police officer gets invited to join the Klan in Colorado Springs after he answers a want ad in the paper. The black police officer gets a white police officer to be the face in the group. And that's about it for the movie. I kept on waiting for the and then what event. And it never happens. A lot of the film is uncomfortable as it show the heinous treatment and behavior of white supremacists. Of course if you aren't white, I'm sure it's nothing new.
The film feels very preachy and it does talk a lot about today's white supremacists both subtly and unsubtly.
In the end, I'm happy to have seen it so I know what people are talking about, but it isn't a very good movie.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
