People revisit BlacKkKlansman for the same reason it broke through in 2018: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a comedy rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Spike Lee keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The crime and comedy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
