Film No 67 (2018) Aug 6th. 6:45 PM LUNA PALACE Leederville .
"With the right white man we can do anything".(Ron explains his elaborate plan to his chief emphasising one of the key ingredients to getting inside the KKK).
Spike Lee makes another statement on behalf of the human race, a statement simply pleading that racial vilification makes no sense. This is his contribution via the arts to reinforce that message. His vehicle takes the form of a true story; Ron Stillworth, the first African American cop to be recruited by the Colorado Springs Police Department, makes the innovative decision to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. Lee only preaches in the final two minutes before the titles roll, and those scenes have power considering the story we have just witnessed took place in the eighties. John David Washington as Stillworth plays our hero to perfection. He is a cool dude with an original idea for "playing" the KKK. Spike Lee adds to his legend as a brilliant film maker. Do The Right Thing is now my second favourite Lee film. 11GUMS.
