I laughed a lot. I was depressed a lot. I cried a couple of times. SEE THIS MOVIE!
David Foreman The end was very sad. What ppl do not understand is that the KKK not only hate ppl that do not look like them BUT they hate ppl that do not THINK the way they do.
YOU SOUND EMOTIONALLY IMBALANCED
John Landis Why is it a lie the movie was BASED off a true story tgis was not a biopic.
John Landis You changed my whole persp--- oh wait. I went to college.
I just saw it. It was AMAZING!
"My dad loved it too." -Topher Grace 🤣👏🏾 07:41
He hates it when people bring up his dad but it’s so cute.
Spike is back. The films really good. I enjoyed the paralleled scenes displaying a message of past and presence. Haven’t felt a buzz like this since seeing Spikes film, school days.
Best Spike Lee movie in at least a decade
I only saw Red Hook Summer from the past decade. I like Red Hook Summer a little better than this one.
Nicholas Borg I agree. It was so good.
too bad the facts are all portrayed wrong .. not correct history !
@@patsaultz721 There's just one plot device that was fictionalized, relax.
This movie is amazing ✊🏾😎🌟!! I saw it twice ! Spike, you’ve outdone yourself! John David was outstanding!!
👍🏽
In my honest opinion, this is the best Spike Lee movie period - and I love Spike Lee joints.
Nicholas KMA Malcolm X!!!
Laura harrier is one fine women 🙄😍
My mind is blown away! I had no idea that this was Denzel Washington's son when I watched this movie!!!!!!! I thought he was such an amazing actor so it makes perfect sense that the great Denzel is his father.
Best movie of the year so far. Like a cannonball to the chest.
Jimmcgurn this and sorry to bother you
@@figuerofilms4424 Sorry to bother you drags on, then has about 20 minutes of being the funniest and wildest movie ever, and then the craziness gets redundant
The best movie that I've seen in a really long time. Words can not describe how this movie made me feel.
I'm surprised nobody made a movie about Angela Davis!
And she's still alive to give you all the cliff notes
I would watch it in a heartbeat!
Damn. When Topher said that he felt the documentary footage of Charlottesville didn't hit them as real life video from what happened in the US, that gave me chills. That's heavy af.
All of the cast were amazing and so damn convincing but Topher Grace. Damn dude...He literally was David Duke. He should’ve been at least nominated for a supporting actor Oscar.
I LOVE her braids 😍
I do respect that John tries to carry his own weight in the acting world. I'm sure he knows so many people are gonna ask about his dad. There are certain times when he speaks and laughs that he sounds exactly like Denzel!
I completely agree and the insane thing is its like he’s not trying to imitate his dad but being his son, there’s always going to be some resemblance to his dad somewhere and it’s in his voice and commanding presence, but it’s all natural JDW. He has his own talent and his own tremendous screen presence and he has done an incredible job in the lead role opportunities he’s had up to now and he will continue to open his own doors. But being Denzel’s son will always lead to never-ending comparisons which is unfair.
Spike has been hot, but alot of his movies go over your head. Chiraq was dope, but misunderstood. Inside Man, He Got Game, Malcolm X (Greatest Movie of All Time) , Summer of Sam, 25th Hour, Do The Right Thing, Mo-Better Blues, Crooklyn, Clockers, School Daze, She's Gotta Have it. Plus he created the campaign for Jordan's. This guy is a GOAT.
totally! His work is misunderstood. People don't get a lot of it... he's always been ahead of his time.
David Muhammad I don't believe Malcolm X is the greatest movie of all time (maybe for you). For starters, it only has a 7.7 on IMDb. I did really enjoy BlacKkKlansman though.
LOL, who a rat's ass about IMDb...it is by the far the GOAT of movies...lmfao at IMDb...like they matter
David Muhammad I mean, if you're going to objectively say it is the greatest movie of all time, that can't just be your opinion, right? Most 'top movies of all time' lists, if not all, wouldn't even have Malcolm X anywhere in it, that's fact. IMDb is where people give their ratings, so if the overall rating is 7.7 how can you say it is the 'GOAT' of all movies. Even Deadpool has a higher rating. It's fine if you think that it is the best, but it comes of a little weird when you say it is as if it's a fact. There is no 'GOAT', because films are all subjective, even if they were - The Godfather, Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, etc. Those are the names you hear, not Malcolm X.
Most of those lists are "descendents" of the culturally biased and institutionally racist social structure called white supremacy, much like Hollywood itself. So certainly when it comes to people of color and so-called blacks in particular, one has to enable their own power to define. IDMb and other so-called objective mechanisms are merely opinions as well, mostly culturally biased ones at that. Moreover, all art is subjective in nature, which takes all the teeth out of your premise of obectivity. Lastly, given the socio-economic and cultural context in which the film was made, even adds to its greatness. Further, all the films you named were "white" movies" thus making my point for me. Black people certainly CANNOT allow a racist (cant' be debated) social framework to judge its contributions. Read "Wretched of the Earth" by Franz Fanon or "Cultural Bandits" by Del Jones to inform your context. Malcolm X is by far the best film of all time, nothing is even close. Shalom.
Topher's best response - 22:07
Can't wait to see this film! John David sounds just like his dad! I'm sorry but I wanna hear him deliver some of Denzel's iconic lines
King Kong ain't got nuthin on me!!
I think John David would be soooo annoyed by your comment lol
I am not gonna bury my son! My son is gonna bury me!
I forgot that actor, Laura Patrice, was in Spider-man Home coming. 👏🏾👏🏾 Her costume in the film was really believable.
An important and timely work, just saw it: highly entertaining, great sound track, troubling and inspiring, very worthwhile, Spike is righteous, thank you all!!
Such a good film. I saw it in the cinema today and everyone was silent once it finished, it was so emotional and uncomfortable and made you think about race in america and how its changed (or stayed the same)
i frikin love Topher
John David is the next Denzel Washington he is Amazing great Job the Movie is soo Good👍
Better believe it🔥🔥
Does anyone else notice Laura just looking him up and down like, man, she wants him
Great interview! Haven’t seen the film yet but really want to soon
Topher is a real one for that 7:41
Great movie 🎥
I love this movie, I watched now.
So beautiful American girl Laura harrier
Topher was amazing
John David Washington sounds just like his dad
My town sucks I swear because I’ve been waiting but I have a feeling they ain’t gonna premiere it here
Loved this film!
Laura Harrier is one of the most beautiful women...sheesh!
Have not seen it yet; I will. Just not ready. “The America First” slogan got me, that’s trumps slogan. The hatred flaws me; but I’ll get to it. Working it out.
Good movie indeed
This is a great movie!
Yeah but where's Adam Driver
Sam Serrao star wars
In the UK filming Star Wars Episode IX.
ME OMG
"Free of them RACISTS at at last."

y no jasper
Lauras black side shows with those braids.
Lol yea braids will do that to you
Mundus She is 100% black.
she's biracial.
The interviewer sucks but the cast members are awesome
Black Hollywood
RaRa pou nou tout I don’t get it
How about diverse Hollywood? Instead of it being one race.
Powvok S there’s a reason they do cause the Jews aren’t the chosen people it’s actually the so called African American dwindling in America
did the interviewer not show up, so they grabbed an assistant? Regular junket questions with expected media trained answers. zzzz
Man
Sometimes he sound's so much like his dad
Sorry
Racism right in front of us look at the interview real good. Look what she said this your America lol wow really
Very observant! Their body language with the interviewer; look at how John David looks at her each time she goes in to ask a question. Look at how uncomfortable Laura is when she answers her questions.
It's about time Black people had enough power to practice nepotism/cronyism on some level.
Sea Pea Talent trumps bloodlines. His previous acting put him in position for this role.
herbert nelson Not in this case. Not when it comes to Spike and Denzel's brotherhood. You are wrong on this one. He has done nothing previously to deserve a major motion picture role of this magnitude.
David Washington worked hard for this role. No nepotism involved.
Rachel Rae I didn't say he didn't work hard. He also didn't stand in line for hours waiting for an audition. If you think his Dad and Spikes relationship had nothing to do with this role I just don't know what to say to you. He can be a competent actor and it still be cronyism. Nothing wrong with it. White people do it everyday.
The movie shows the racism on both sides great movie funny and informative 👍🏻
Decent movie. The last 5 minutes was creepy though with an upside down American flag. People hate his country.
Surprise! but not really. Don’t really care about the Charleston incident much but Watching people get tossed up like broken dolls in the air is entertaining. But then the girl died too so that sucks. Too bad. The driver of that car needs his license revoked for sure.
Saw it last night. Walked out. It was atrociously, embarrassingly awful. Whatever talent Spike Lee once held, it's clearly gone. I feel legitimately rooked out of $15 plus that lame $1.50 cinema online surcharge.
Martin Hyizna What was bad about it? I haven't seen it. What missed the mark?
I think the film fails on a fundamental level in its failure to convincingly convey the necessary authenticity of a period piece. It was embarrassingly obvious, like for example the token historic vehicles used in street scenes. I mean every vehicle was a historically preserved perfect shiny Ford Pinto or Chevy Nova, and it was obvious these were historic vehicles garage-kept and waxed regularly. That's not what they looked like back in 1971. They were dirty just like everything else. And the props were obvious and blatant, like for example the "NIXON AGNEW' poster in the interior of a Klansman's home. That's actually what finally did it for me, I was like enough of this insulting tokenism. Most important though was that the sense of believability was utterly vacant and missing, and yes I'm well aware it's "based on a true story." But that means nothing in the world of filmmaking. and Spike Lee, who was once a great filmmaker, knows that. The director needs to put it all together in a remarkable and memorable way. I just feel Lee didn't do that here, and in fact didn't even come close. It's worth mentioning however, the lead actor John David Washington is remarkable and fascinating. He has his own individual charisma and magnetism, which he clearly inherited from his father but it comes out in a new and unique way. I completely get that Spike Lee saw this and he gets credit for casting him.
The inner torment Adam Driver's character supposedly is going through over his Judaism was utterly revolting and not at all believable. It was a reach for the actor Adam Driver and even more of a reach for Spike Lee, who has a history of not understanding American Jews and caricaturing themin derogatory fashion in his films. It needs to be mentioned because in the film it is the lynchpin connecting the suffering of Blacks with the suffering of Jews, which is, as the film tries, the supposedly common ground the two lead actors share. But it's just not believable. The struggle of Jewish people is utterly lost on Spike Lee, and this blind spot can be seen quite clearly & painfully in "BlacKkKlansman." It's bad acting and badly rendered. Only John David Washington made it bearable but even he could not prevent me from walking out early.
Also the soundtrack- was VERY VERY Tarantino with a capital TARANTINO. Without being redundant, it was embarrassingly derivative of Tarantino. The dancing scene with the Cornelius Brothers and the lead actress with her 1970 gold oval tinted glasses felt staged and unnatural. I'm a huge Cornelius Brothers fan and a huge Looking Glass fan too, so when "Brandy" played I felt it was gratuitous. Easy. And again, very Quentin Tarantino, and not in a kind of sort of complimentary influential way- I'm talking direct theft.
For a little perspective, I'll also mention I'm a big Malcolm X fan, the movie I mean but of course the man, too. Do The Right Thing was great, too and I like Inside man and Clockers. So I am what one might call a Spike lee fan. Perhaps that's what accounts for my disappointment.
the movie is faulty, the directing fails on critical levels, the soundtrack is derivative, the period is not believable and the acting is wooden and unnatural.
Can't wait to see this film! John David sounds just like his dad! I'm sorry but I wanna hear him deliver some of Denzel's iconic lines
