Oscar Shortlisted Industrial Standard

"BlacKkKlansman" was nominated for an Oscar's Industrial Standard. The film is based on the autobiography of a black Colorado police officer, telling the story of his undercover local Ku Klux Klan to win the respect of others. It’s been a few years since I’ve been following the Oscars, but in just a few years, there are always a few films that focus on racial issues and are mediocre in the shortlist for best picture every awards season. For example, last year's "Get Out", such as this year's "BlacKkKlansman", is not to say that this film is not good, but the film that can be shortlisted for the Cannes competition unit, the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, and the Oscar for Best Picture will always hang. High expectations of fans. If last year's "Get Out" could still map racial issues on the basis of the suspense of the story, then this year's "BlacKkKlansman" is directly confronting the "black and white" problem, and the film is slightly playful The expression is out of step with the brutal seriousness of the subject, and the profiling of blacks, whites and Jews is too stark, reducing the realism of the story. Mediocre in all aspects, I don't like this film at all, 6.5 points. ps: The most unexpected nomination for this year's best picture is "Black Panther".

    8.5, masterpiece. It feels like everyone has said almost the same, powerful salute-style satire, commercial-like smooth rhythm (except for documentaries, in essence, Spike Lee has always only been able to make commercial films, MalcolmX is that criticism overwhelms the rhythm, and both do it, it seems that it has been Enough is one of the best works of his creative career.

    The "BlacKkKlansman", which deliberately creates contradictions, cannot resolve its own contradictions in the end. Joking and ridiculing obviously cannot replace the status quo of bitterness and hatred, which is probably the helplessness of political propaganda works. However, this bloody politics finally failed to make Spike Lee abandon the existing value scale and withdraw from the black and white. Since racial conflict is a problem left over from history, why not look at the result of this hatred from the perspective of development? If we turn the camera back, we will find such a tragic scene: when the fake is real, the real is also fake. On the eve of the outbreak of the partisan war, it was one's own family who fought against one's own family. By the time white cops arrested black cops, the situation was out of control and irreversible. The parallel editing in this film is a highlight rather than a disadvantage of image irony, because what we see here is not The Birth of a Nation, but the division of a nation.
