Blackkklansman

Ancora una volta Spike Lee ha fatto centro con un film che parla di razzismo e difficile integrazione nell'America degli anni 70.sembra di rivivere il periodo d'oro della blaxploitation anche se non è propriamente un poliziesco.comunque il film scorre via benissimo, divertente in alcune scene dove il poliziotto afroamericano si spaccia al telefono come un membro del KuKluxklan.bravissimo il regista comunque a mantenere toni seri e drammatici quando c'è da rappresentare l'organizzazione del Kukluxklan i cui membri vengono rappresentati esattamente per quello che sono, ovvero ignoranti,razzisti e soprattutto violenti.un gran bel film insomma, peccato che l'edizione blu ray offre pochissimi contenuti speciali.ad ogni modo se siete fan del regista newyorkese l'acquisto è obbligato.

Capolavoro di spike lee , black-comedy che non la manda a dire , dove ti lascia alla fine del film con un macigno al cuore , nonostante le situazioni che sono ai limiti del comico e dell assurdo

La storia e' bella ed avvincente, bravi gli attori , bella la colonna sonora e buona qualita' generale video e audio. Pero' vi sono dei periodi in cui la trama rallenta molto, con l'insistere nel mostrare per svariati minuti scene sempre uguali che a nulla servono al racconto, se non ad infastidire chi lo guarda (c'e ad esempio un pezzo dove i due interpreti principali ballano assieme, assolutamente noiosa). Poi in altri punti il racconto riprende vivacita'
Si arriva alla fine soddisfatti

Se fosse un film di un esordiente, sarebbe senz'altro un ottimo prodotto . Ma in questo caso il regista risponde al nome di Spike Lee, uno dei più grandi cineasti di tutti i tempi, quindi è logico aspettarsi un'opera di altissimo livello. E purtroppo, a parte un buon cast e una ricostruzione credibile, la lunga storia risulta fiacca. Tant'è che alla fine l'unico personaggio a risultare quantomeno credibile, è proprio il capo del KKK, incapace di riconoscere la voce di un uomo di colore al telefono. Comunque trattandosi pur sempre di Spike Lee questo film non può mancare in una videoteca che si rispetti.

Bellissimo e amaro

Recensito in Italia il 22 gennaio 2020

Film bellissimo, l'ennesima zampata di Spike Lee. Comunque scrivo per un altro motivo, ed e' l'ilarita' mista a disgusto scatenata da due "recensioni" (ma sarebbe meglio chiamarle sbocchi di idiozia allo stato puro) che ho trovato su questo film ed esattamente sono quelle che lo accusano di razzismo. Razzismo? Ad un uomo di colore? Dopo quello che hanno passato per centinaia di anni e continuano a passare ancora oggi grazie soprattutto ad una religione che ha cresciuto generazioni di idioti dalla pelle piu' chiara? Siamo al delirio incontrollato, ormai si e' veramente passato ogni limite...

Ritorno alle origini e agli altissimi livelli!

Un film davvero potente straziante divertentissimo politico e sociale come solo il grandissimo Spike Lee sa fare; qui dimostra tutto il suo amore per il cinema a 360 gradi sia a livello registico più maturo (piani sequenza, bellissime composizione d'immagine ecc...) ma soprattutto a livello narrativo, una sceneggiatura di ferro che riesce a farti rimanere incollato per tutto il film ed un finale che ti lascia a dir poco straziato e nauseato per quanto rispecchi l'attuale situazione in America, qui Spike Lee torna davvero alle origini dalle parti di "Fa la cosa giusta, Jungle Fever, Malcom X..." e torna a raccontare l' America come solo lui sa fare.

Come direbbe Snake/Jena Plissken "... Più le cose cambiano, più rimangono le stesse..."

Myth of race

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 4 aprile 2019

The best joke Spike Lee plays in the film is when Ron Stallworth, the undercover black cop in the Colorado Springs Police Department, is assigned as chief of security for David Duke, the grand national wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, when Duke travels to Colorado to meet a local chapter of the KKK. The look on Duke’s face when he sees Stallworth is priceless, the whole logic of his white power delusions compromised by the absurdity of being protected from harm by a black man. But of course Duke is too thick to get the joke, as it takes intelligence to know and appreciate irony and paradox.

Although Spike Lee might be wise not to analyse racism directly in the film, I wish to do so now. First of all, race is a delusion, a cultural concept, a myth. The human genome has been decoded. No genes for race were found because none exist. So what’s all the fuss and suffering about? It comes from pre-scientific ignorance and superstition, tribal fear and distrust of the so-called other based on appearances and other differences. It isn’t rational, it’s emotional — unhealthy and destructive emotion. It creates problems and trouble where none exist. It’s fear and delusion in the minds of ignorant and intolerant people.

But the consequences of such ignorance and intolerance are all too real, especially for those on the receiving end of hatred and bigotry. It seems incredible that the problem of racism should still exist in the 21st century, a scientific age. But this illustrates the cultural limitations of science as an educational tool. Even though the evidence, knowledge and truth are there, people go on believing in this virulent myth, basing their belief on faith, which is always a flimsy foundation. Nietzsche said this about that:

“Faith is not wanting to know what is true.”

So I think it comes down to that, the true believers in this case thinking whiteness confers some sort of special meaning and privilege to them. They don’t know why skin pigmentation exists, oblivious to evolutionary contingencies and adaptive traits needed for survival. They can’t conceive that all their earliest ancestors were black and that their genetic line can be traced back to Africa. They oppose the truth of it with guns and ignorance.

Many of the whites in the film, needless to say, don’t come out looking very good. Even in his own police department Stallworth has to deal with at least one bigot. Bigoted policemen are hardly different than KKK members. Same mentality, different uniform.

Stallworth also has to prove to his superiors that he’s a serious undercover cop. He’s professional, or wants to be, given a chance. One of his first assignments is to infiltrate a black power meeting on the campus of a local university. Stokely Carmichael, a charismatic black leader, will be speaking there. Stallworth wears a wire and attends the meeting in his Jimi Hendrix afro and black beard. He fits right in, nobody suspecting otherwise. Is he snooping? Yes and no. Professionally as a cop he’s there to ferret out any dangerous subversive activities. But as a private black man he’s there to find out what’s going on culturally, what the people are thinking and saying. Are they non-violent, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was and preached in the 1960s? It’s now the early ‘70s and what are these new black leaders (like Carmichael) thinking and saying? He wants to know for his own good.

The private Stallworth (not the cop) is also attracted to an intelligent, beautiful young black woman. She is politicised and articulate, fully aware of the tortured history of the U.S. She wants justice and equality, things that all decent people want for those in society irrespective of colour. Her intelligence and beauty will complicate things for Stallworth, but they will not compromise him and his investigation. So he’s like an acrobat with several balancing acts to maintain. And, because he’s skilful and determined, he’s adept at it.

His great coup comes when he passes himself off as a white racist over the telephone with the head of the local chapter of the KKK. In fact he’s so good at imitating the diction and cadences of white people over the phone that he cons David Duke into thinking he’s a clan member. No one in the clan of course ever sees Stallworth, or when they do they don’t know he’s Stallworth. The KKK Stallworth in the flesh is Stallworth’s white colleague cop Flip Zimmerman, who is a secular Jew. That’s serious trouble too if the KKK discovers the truth about Flip. It isn’t only blacks whom they despise. They kick them around because they can, because the casual lazy racism that underlies American society tacitly approves of it. But the insidious Jew is something different. He’s scheming and invisible. He’s divisive and exclusive. He’s rotten and eroding the fabric of society. He’s everywhere and nowhere and hard to pin down. But his evil work goes on. Zimmerman, then, walks into the lion’s den. If it’s demanding for Ron Stallworth to impersonate the voice of a white man over the phone, it’s far worse for Flip Zimmerman, the secular Jew, to infiltrate the KKK by playacting at being a virulent racist. His performance is harrowing, breathtaking, heroic. What could be worse than being in the company of gun-toting, hate-spewing white trash? Yet there he is using the N-word repeatedly and casually castigating the virulent Jews to prove his ‘moral’ worth to his fellow racists.

So the film is really about two main journeys — Stallworth’s to initially con the KKK and Zimmerman’s to infiltrate it to defuse the bomb violence the group is planning. Both journeys work splendidly, and the acting by John David Washington as Stallworth and Adam Driver as Zimmerman are superb, wholly convincing. I wondered why the film was up for several Academy Awards but now I wonder no more. Great to see Spike Lee honoured too. If he isn’t the conscience of America, he should be. Excellent of him also to use actual footage from Charlottesville 2017 at the end of the film. Preachy? Not really. Appropriate, I think, in showing that racism in America in the early ‘70s did not die out then. It carried right on through to this century and persists. What could be more relevant than to say so?

The film is an honest work of educational art. When or if America grows up, it should give Spike Lee the Congressional Medal of Honor, not that Congress is anything to boast about in patriotic terms these days, being the last refuge for plenty of scoundrels, most of them Republicans.

HAS MUCH REALLY CHANGED SINCE ?

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 28 dicembre 2018

A film based on the true story of Colorado Springs first Black Police-Officer in the early 70's, Ron Stallworth played by John David Washington.
At first assigned to mundane duty in the records room he requests a task to go undercover, his first task is to infiltrate a local civil rights movement, which he does successfully whilst doing so meeting-up with Patrice Dumas (Laura Harrier) who he is obviously destined to fall for.
Now assigned to the intelligence-division he comes across an advert in the paper inviting readers to join the Ku Klux Klan, which Ron decides to respond to pretending to be a White American.......
He convinces the leader of the local chapter that he is a true American patriot sharing their beliefs.........a meet-up is arranged, however being Black he can hardly do this himself so he recruits a fellow officer to fulfill the meet-up Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) who'll have to convince the chapter-leader he is indeed the voice on the other end of the phone
All seems to be going well but a Klan member is suspicious of Flip ......
Will Flip be exposed as a cop, will he and Ron mount enough evidence against the Klan to issue arrest warrants ?
A remarkable story of yesteryear which has an underlining comic approach to the telling.
Certainly worthy of a viewing.
Footnote -
If you have access to on-line films which have not been cinema released in the U.K ...give these a spin -
OUTLAW KING starring Chris Pine....telling the story of Robert the Bruce after the death of William Wallace leading up to and including his victory against all-odds against the English at Loudoun Hill. 8.7/10
MOWGLI starring
Rohan Chand with voice-overs from the likes of Christian Bale, Benedict Cumberbatch, Cate Blanchett and Andy Serkis....telling the tale of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle-Book.
A much darker and perhaps scarier tale than the Disney version with it's memorable songs and not really suitable for very young viewers, however very worthy of a viewing
8.8/10.
Other on-line offerings worthy of a spin include BIRD BOX starring Sandra Bullock
