Based on a dependable story , the movie ’s narration nerve center around Ron Stallworth ( John David Washington ) , an African - American police officer who successfully penetrate a local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan . To accomplish this , Stallworth partnered up with a white human being ( Adam Driver ) , who is referred to as Flip Zimmerman in the film . Flip ( who ’s shout Chuck in Stallworth ’s book of account ) would attend face - to - face group meeting as Ron , while Stallworth conduct business with the Klan over the phone .

At least on - paper , BlacKkKlansmansounds like it could have been a serious dramatic play , but Lee apparently had something else in judgement when he tackled the cloth . Footage from the film was showed at CinemaCon , where many attendees remarked that it was laced with wittiness andplayed as a pal cop motion-picture show of variety with Washington and Driveras the leads .

The trailer shew the broad fortuity of the chronicle , introducing Stallworth as a rookie officer in the Colorado Springs Police Department . It just so encounter Stallworth is the first African - American cop in the city , and he ’s looking to make a freehanded spatter at his new job . He gets the wild idea to infiltrate the KKK ( in an effort to forestall an incoming onslaught ) , and earns the trust of David Duke with an hilarious racialist tirade over the earphone where Stallworth exalt to detest anyone who is n’t a sodding white American . team up up with the bloodless officer Zimmerman , the two mannikin the " Stallworth Brothers " and get to influence on their investigation .
The use of The Temptations ' catchy turn " Ball of Confusion ( That ’s What the World is Today ) " seems like a perfect delegacy ofBlacKkKlansmans’themes and tones . The words of the song reference various societal issues of the era ( including racialism ) , which Lee is definitely tackling here . And while the theater director has admonish against using " funniness " to classify the film , it ’s evidentBlacKkKlansmanis embracing the absurdness of its existent - life write up , playing as a " can you believe this ? " type of tale , with the purpose being to highlight the amentia of the KKK . This is n’t to say Lee ( who has always inject witticism into his oeuvre ) is skirting on drama . The scene where Ron gainsay Flip about the latter ’s attitude towards the assignment hints at a fascinating dynamic , andBlacKkKlansmanis dealing with subject that remain relevant in today ’s world .

AfterGet Outrewrote the Oscar rulebooklast year , anything is possible , and it ’ll be interesting to see how thing play out .
