BlacKkKlansman Movie Review


So I saw BlacKkKlansman and it was... different from what I expected.

So this movie follows the true story of a Black Cop, becoming a member of the KKK.
I first off want to say that the actors did a phenomenal job. John David Washington played Ron Stallworth well, and I enjoyed his performance. I applaud him for that.
There are some really funny parts in this film, and the jokes land in the way that they should. The music for this film is done so very well, and I really enjoyed the soundtrack.
They did sprinkle in some modern politics into the film, and okay, sure, but they go all out during the end of this film. I love historical movies, and I love how the actual history was portrayed in the film, and I'm fine with political films. Yet this movie wasn't really brought up as a political film, as far as I'm aware of. I'm not going to say my political affiliation in this post, because for the most part, this is a movie blog, and that wouldn't fit. No matter which way you lean politically, I have to say that the film would still work if you remove the connotations to modern politics.
BlacKkKlansman was a good historical film and I enjoyed the history of it, but the connection to modern politics was unnecessary and the film would have worked without it. I would recommend seeing this film at least once though. Let me know your thoughts on the film, I'm interested to see what other thought about it.



final score: 3/5

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
