story: A semi-fictionalized account of Ron Stallworth, the first black officer hired in the Colorado Springs Police Department in 1978, is presented. His hiring in what was the still highly anti-black racist mentality of the force was to diversity it outwardly. Always wanting to be a policeman, Ron never embraced the black stereotype, he largely coming across as white except for his physical black characteristics. Not enjoying the menial tasks of the records room where he is initially assigned and where he is often bombarded with racial slurs by his fellow officers, he is able to convince his superiors that his unique attributes are better suited to undercover work. Those superiors want to assign him infiltrate a black activist student union group led by Patrice Dumas, they who are bringing in a black leader speaker, Kwame Ture, Ron's assignment to ensure that no radical activities take place especially during what is anticipated as the highly charged talk. In addition to this assignment, Ron, on a whim in answering a newspaper ad via a telephone call, is able to infiltrate the local chapter of the KKK, a subsequent call which makes its way to the national grand wizard himself, David Duke. His one big mistake in the telephone calls: using his real name. Ron thinks he has a way around this error by having one of his fellow undercover cops, Flip Zimmerman, to be "Ron Stallworth" in any meeting with the KKK, despite they sounding nothing alike. Much like Ron in not being typically "black", Flip, ethnically Jewish, was never devoted to his faith. This undercover work in its entirety places Ron's life in a precarious balance as he begins to embrace issues of his blackness, especially as it relates to Patrice. The further Ron and Flip infiltrate the KKK, the greater the likelihood of their cover being blown, risking their lives, many of the KKK members who are just itching at the chance to kill some n*****s and n-lovers, especially in some form of grand gesture

What I thought might be a funny movie ended up being another attempt by Spike Lee to bash President Trump. His subliminal messages throughout the movie and especially at the end where he fully turns up his anti-Trump rhetoric was disgusting. We both got up and left the movie towards the end in protest. This was my first Spike Lee film ever and I am nothing short of astonished by his work here. The true yet uniquely told story about a black man infiltrating the KKK. John David Washington and Adam Driver deliver stellar and riveting performances to each of their characters, the chemistry between these two is truly a spectacle to watch. The plot mixes between comedy and drama but do not believe that the dark themes are overshadowed by the well written screenplay, there are definitely some very serious moments, especially during the end of the film where they show actual events happening today reminding us that humanity hasn't changed in the slightest. The cinematography done in the film was greatly executed, you can tell each scene was carefully shot and tells you that this was obviously not a cash-grab because of it's theme and heavy subject although it is presented in a lighthearted manner, you can see that this was a passion project with Spike Lee wanting to deliver a reminder of how today's world isn't so different to how it was back then. My only gropes with this film is that it tends to drag scenes longer than it should making it a little bit long and at times kind of boring, and it also has a theme that was pretty nice the first few times it played until you realize it keeps playing throughout the entire thing, it got really annoying. Overall, great directing, performances, camerawork and fresh storytelling.
