History Buffs was not so happy about that film
i watched two films, one sort of good, the other absolutely horrible.
BLACKkKLANSMAN -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7349662/
another Spike Lee film.
I have mixed feelings about Lee, i like him as a director, but sometimes he can go overboard with the black-empowerment thing.
But B.K. is essentially a comedy/investigation film. John Washington (afaik in his first lead role) plays Ron Stallworth, a 1960s black kid who joins the police force and immediately tries to get ahead, and while his police chief isn't too fond of a rookie - any rookie - thinking that much of himself, he goes along with it (ooh, the 60s) and lets him pull a sting on the KKK, which Stallworth does by pretending to be a white power sympathizer.
Good film, well directed, also starring Adam Driver in a part that does *not* suit him, reasonably entertaining, but even more so if you don't first read up on the story this is based on, which is pretty much exactly as portrayed in the film, with a few storytelling liberalities here and there.
fun enough.
7/10 - it could use more comedy
And actually, i watched THREE films, because i also watched
Mudbound -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2396589/
Which is ALSO a film about racism (coincidence - i wasn't on a anti-racism bender or anything), telling the story of two 1940s families in rural Alabama, one white, one black, and how their stories intermingle, but - while the film has received a heap of praise - a massively depressing film where everyone is a negative character and eventually everyone dies.
Would not recommend, unless you have something to expiate, because jesus, you can do better with your time.
6.5/10 - i'm not sure what the purpose of putting this to film was, if not to make you feel bad.
And then .. having watched a tiny, 30 clip of this that was funny, i watched nearly half of
Sukiyaki Western Django -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0906665/
What an incredible pile of shit.
It rightly enough opens with a fat and old Quantin Tarantino dressed as Clint Eastwood, and trying to pull off a pathetic ol'western accent, and then it becomes a kung-fun/western action film where the director, Takashi Miike, wants you to know he can art because every now and then there will be a scene ALL IN YELLOW, and then another ALL IN BLUE.
But that is not enough, ooh no, no. Because the entire film is in a fake chinese accent. EVERY ACTOR PRETENDS TO HAVE A BAD CHINESE ACCENT. FOR THE WHOLE FILM.
FUCK. YOU.
This pile of shit is the worst film i have seen since the SW prequels, and i've seen some pretty shitty movies. I just want to fill a whole post with the word shit.
4/10 - you need to be the world's worst fucking weaboo to like this shit.
