my thoughts after rewatching it

I just finished rewatching BlacKkKlansman. I saw it at the theater when it first came out and I loved it then and I love it even more now. Spike Lee brilliantly stick it to the man in this powerful film which is more relevant than ever. John David Washington is fantastic and I really enjoyed his performance. Adam Driver does a great job here too. The rest of the cast were very good too. The screenplay was really smart and effective, managing to be laugh out loud funny at times and also sad and disturbing in other moments. I liked that Lee was not afraid to tackle racism and hatred head on and make parallels to contemporary individuals and events. For me, it worked really well. I think Blackkklansman should have won best picture and best director at the Oscars and that it was better than any of the other films nominated for best picture that year. My rating is a 9/10.
