Finally saw this on Thursday and enjoyed it a ton. Thought it had a slow start, but right when he called the KKK I couldn’t contain my laughter. Thought the three main leads John David Washington, Adam Driver, and Laura Harrier were all terrific. I just need to give a special shoutout to Ashlie Atkinson and Paul Walter Hauser(from I, Tonya), who I thought gave some of the greatest comedic performances I’ve ever seen.

And I remember this musical I remember their brilliance And I might never sleep again...

I started a thread a when the film first came out...but not too many had seen it. I LOVED it. Even with a little of the hit us over the head messaging.

And that ENDING. Killed me.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I've tried to get my very white and priveledged students to go and see it...those that have have loved it.

I've always really liked Spike Lee's work, but this just seems to have gads more heart.
