~Gay Lit Tanuki~Just saw BlackKKlansman. It is a really smart movie, posing in commercials as a comedy to get people to come. Some people will feel betrayed by that, but I feel that's the point. That the reality of the KKK isn't something to diminish into the joke or humanize, and that the boundary of satirizing bigots needs to be treated carefully—no matter how ham-fisted the message needs to be for people to get it.
And for context, i say this in regards to having gone myself and having seen so many older white people attend the theater. I personally feel i have no way to judge the film from a non-privileged standpoint without being more versed in film and african american studies.
