My comments: So many emotions filled me as I watched this movie - outrage, disbelief, laughter. I was so appalled because I don't want to realize the prejudices that some people feel so incredibly strongly. It's........sick. The movie was quite brilliant, but I thought it would be more of a comedy, not realizing how incredibly difficult it would be to watch. Wow. And I do adore Adam Driver.
RT/ IMDb Summary: From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee comes the incredible true story of an American hero. It's the early 1970s, and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon recruits a more seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), into the undercover investigation of a lifetime. Together, they team up to take down the extremist hate group as the organization aims to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream. Produced by the team behind the Academy-Award (R) winning Get Out.
