I wanted to like it but I couldn't

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I read that Black Klansman won awards. I like several Spike Lee films. In Do the Right Thing racism is one of the main plot lines and it is accurately portrayed

Spoiler alert: I had heard the basis of the story was a black man infiltrating the klan. Not really. Just via the phone.

As you all know I'm socially liberal I'm even an active member of my local NAACP chapter.

I have to say the script kinda sucked. The klansmen dialog should have been researched better. There's so much wrong. No point in citing individual items.

I feel like the film won awards for what it attempted to do, not what it actually did.

When I compare this to a film like Mississippi Burning there is no comparison.

Spoiler Alert #2 - the end is great however as graphic footage of Charlottesville was shown to prove the point we really haven't moved that far forward and that hate still abounds.
