City of God 2002
Holy shit.
Twenty years too late, but this film is like The Godfather or The Departed or “The Wire” level brilliant. It shows the dichotomy of the two paths someone can take from poverty.

BlacKkKlansman 2018
I love the shots of people looking hopefully while listening to an inspiring speaker. I love the ironic tone and the subtle connections to our present day climate. I love that Lee makes the Klan members seem absurd without ignoring the danger of their philosophies. At times very frustrating and hard to watch, at other times fascinating and so fun! I also think the third act/climax/whatever you want to call it didn’t match the tone with the rest of the film, but overall, Lee’s newest film is one of my favorites from the year! We need BlacKkKlansman right now!
