20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2018

11. The Closing Charlottesville Montage - BlacKkKlansman

The ending to Spike Lee's brilliant race drama BlacKkKlansman is like being sand-blasted in the face with the truth, and in typical Lee fashion, what it lacks in subtlety it more than compensates with blunt-force effectiveness.

Once the Klan bomb plot has been stopped and the main story is over, Lee cuts to a montage of footage from the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, including the vehicular murder of 32-year-old protester Heather Heyer.

Lee also includes clips of President Trump's infamous bungled response to the attack, refusing to outright shun the white supremacists.

It is a perfect bridge between the movie's period story and the present day, and a devastating reminder that as much as things can change, they can easily just stay the same.
