In Holland in 1966 we had this revolution called Provo. They were
funny and subversive, they definitely changed society completely. When
they stopped (in 1967), Holland never was the same again, for the best. Through
the years I deplored that revolutions all around the globe have to be so
bloody, without any humor in it, not like Provo at all. Haven't they have enough time to learn something from it? In decades, the
first time I see something coming close to it, is the movie
BlacKkKlansman.
BlacKkKlansman is brilliant in all possible ways. Of course it had to be expected, coming from the mins of a genius like Spike Lee. But the acting is also outstanding (J.D. Washington!). I absolutely loved how the dark topic of racism is treated with humor and earnest at the same time. For me, this is the way.
Please, let's not fall back into grim and heavy. Please let humor back into revolutions!
