SPIKE LEE,
who has been arguing with me for three decades — and there have been some humdingers. But he’ll find no argument from me about his great movie BlacKkKlansman, based on the true story of a black Colorado undercover cop, played with terrific swagger by John David Washington, who infiltrates the local chapter of the KKK, with help from a fellow officer played by Adam Driver. Lee (right) infuses the story with some swagger of his own, but it doesn’t get in the way of a fantastic tale. He underpins his film with the bombshell fact that in 2018, the United States has its first KKK president. ‘And don’t forget your Brexit,’ he added — though I pointed out it was not ‘my’ Brexit.
