(6,340 posts)Director Spike Lee received a six-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival after the Monday night premiere of his new drama BlacKkKlansman.
The movie, which tells the true story of an undercover African-American detective (John David Washington) and his Jewish partner (Adam Driver) who team up to infiltrate Klu Klux Klan in 1979, is incredibly timely. It even ends with footage of Donald Trump refusing to condemn the actions of white nationalists during the deadly 2017 Charlottesville riot. There are a lot of digs at the current president throughout BlacKkKlansman one KKK member talks about embracing an America first policy and the film makes parallels between the rise of Trump and the political ambitions of former Grand Wizard David Duke (played with wide-eyed malevolence by That 70s Shows Topher Grace).
