    It also be “both sides have something to learn from each other!” Oscar bait a la Crash or Green Book.

      Ughhhhhhh. Green Book was okay, I liked it, but BlackkKlansman was right there. I shouldn’t be surprised they picked the less punchy of the two, but I’m still annoyed.

        The best part of BlackkKlansman was that I watched it with two literal billionaires who most assuredly voted for Trump 3 times. I got to feel their reaction to that ending montage. Thank you for the reminder.

          tf is your life lol. That’s crazy. I really hope it made them at least somewhat more empathetic. I don’t think anyone is ever too far gone for change, but I also don’t have much hope that billionaires will change.

      I was going to suggest that it would be done with lots of tearful emotion, but then I remembered that Gal can’t actually act, so maybe it would be more of a “after saying the words, turning and looking towards the horizon in an heroic pose” medium shot moving into a panorama showing little children in the background.

      (With the right music to pull people’s emotional strings, obviously)
