BlacKkKlansman

In July 2019, I watched BlacKkKlansman for the first time at Wasedasochiku, a movie theater, which cost me just 800 yen at that time. I had wanted to know the reason why Spike Lee got angry in the 2019 Academy Awards ceremony as Green Book was declared the winner for Best Picture. Watching it, I understood his feelings because I felt that it was definitely one of the masterpieces among Spike Lee joints. At the same time, however, I thought that it was political, so the loss could not be helped in the Academy Awards. All the same, the film seemed to be politically meaningful and a masterpiece in the world. It moreover entertained me so much that I shortly found it in myself to watch it again. 

Two days later, I went to the same theater where I watched both Do the Right Thing and the latest Spike Lee film, which cost me mere 1,300 yen. The theater usually runs double features and its admission price is reasonable, as well as Megro Cinema and Iidabashi Ginrei Hall. The old movie gave me a nostalgia a little and impressed me, but it was so serious that I could not relax so much. The latest one was different. It was not only serious but entertaining. 

I love BlacKkKlansman, which is historically and politically meaningful, as well as Do the Right Thing and Malcom X. In addition, it is enjoyable. It is also one of my favorite three movies which were released in Japan in 2019. 

The lead, John David Washington, looks inconspicuous, unlike his father, Denzel Washington. He, however, was wonderfully acting the first African-American officer suffering from racial discrimination in a police department. Adam Driver playing gave a good performance as the African-American officer's partner, too. I also liked Laura Harrier, who looked pretty and struck me through.
