Oh, you mean the same shyt that has been happening since the late 1970s with the hypersegregation of the urban sector and the political subjugation and economic exploitation of blacks and other minorities? He's really been saying things about this in 2014???? Wow....
And tell me about those recent Spike Lee films...
Face it breh, you dealing with two capitalists who worked together on one movie to talk about oppression: malcolm X; yes, Spike has done amazing things for black progress in films in the late 80s and 90s and I thought his katrina documentaries are 2 of the best in history, but in the last 5 years, both have disappeared and softened their voice against oppression...And Denzel is about his money.
Finally watching this for the 1st time!
Looking at the subtitles, I've never paid attention to the lyrics in the verses of "Fight the Power". They saying some real shyt.
I hear what y'all saying but in terms of black movies from the 90's/early 80's that I need to see, this ain't a high priority. In fact Spike Lee movies like "Jungle Fever", "Clockers", & "He Got Game" are a higher priority for me.
But all the pics in this thread are peaking my interest more in this movie.
I just looked through Spike Lee's filmography on Wikipedia & realized the ONLY Spike Lee-DIRECTED movies I have seen are "Inside Man" and "The Original Kings of Comedy". I really need to sit down & watch all his classics.
I always thought "White Men Can't Jump" was a Spike Lee joint, so I guess that doesn't count.
