@Anonymous I totally agree with you about critics' reviews. I often find that what the critics love I hate and what they hate I love. It is just an opinion after all. And no 2 people view the same film the same way.

BlackKKlansman just doesn't appeal to me. I've seen clips and I know it's a funny film dealing with a serious subject. Spike Lee's favourite subject, racism in America. I may watch it when it eventually comes to TV but it's not a film I want to own nor would I see it at the cinema, if I still went to the cinema. You clearly enjoyed it and got the message it was trying to deliver. But then a black man becoming a member of the Klan is laugh out loud funny in and of itself. It shows just how dumb the KKK really are that they could be so easily fooled. 

I can imagine the news footage, if it was about the Klan and what they did in the south in their heyday was shocking. That human beings can behave that way to other human beings simply because their skin is a different colour is shocking. And while the modern Klan has curbed its nastier side, their views on people of colour hasn't changed, it's simply well hidden. Now they go out of their way to promote family values not flaming crosses on a black family's lawn!
