Featured Comments/Tips
The worst moment of my life ever
Race relations with a message in this film.
Spike Lee swings big, and sometimes that results in a home run and sometimes it’s a swing and a miss like this one. It’s basically a soap opera mixed with a PSA with little subtlety and nuance and very of its time, but performances like Jackson’s and Lee’s direction still being stellar- like the bedroom scene that shadows the black lead in darkness and highlights the paleness of the white lead to hammer in the gap- keep it from being worthless.
The movie could have been great if it weren'#39;t **CONSTANTLY** trying to preach or... _make a statement_. What'#39;s more is what it was **TRYING** to preach got it so wrong that it just destroys the entire movie. At best it'#39;s a #Woke, #MeToo film way before it was a trend/fad to be so. At worst it'#39;s one of the films I wish I could unsee.
What are you trying to say Spike? Miscegenation is wrong? Or just doomed to failure? Either way, it'#39;s unacceptable. I hope you'#39;ve learnt some wisdom in the intervening years. :rage:
