Blackkklansman takes a sharp turn in its final moments by jumping forward in time to 2017 real-life events, but why does it do that?
The Big Picture Cinema has long been used as a provocative force to spark conversations about race, politics, and culture, and Spike Lee has never shied away from using his voice as a director. Be it discussions about cross-cultural prejudices in Do the Right Thing, or the fight for reparations in Da 5 Bloods; Lee has long been at the forefront of cinema's political dialogue.
What Is 'Blackkklansman' About? Blackkklansman serves as a biopic following the life of Ron Stallworth , the first Black detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department who went on to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. With a film built around such a contradictory set of circumstances, it's no wonder that Blackkklansman is built on the idea of perceived reality in relation to the truth beneath the surface.
The scene that most solidifies this notion is when Flip , masquerading as Ron Stallworth, attends a Ku Klux Klan induction and watches The Birth of a Nation. The audience members cheer and holler at the spectacle on-screen, shot after shot of racist caricature populating the frame and terrorizing the 'innocent white people'.
