"Jungle Fever" 1991 Spike Lee film starring Wesley Snipes

[feelosofer]

This isn't my top Spike Lee movie.

BUT

It probably has some of the most powerful scenes out of all his movies. Ossie Davis reminded me of my grandfather in that movie.

This was back when Spike had something to say and had his finger on popular culture to do it. It’s a classic but not Spike’s best work.

Movie was real as fukk. The issues his wife brought up. How dude had to deal with the racial politics at work. His brotha saying man she looks good for a white girl usually brothas get some ugly white girls. The discussion with his wife and her friends. The way popo harass old boy and his girlfriend.

Man spike just puts it all in the movie and real life shyt. Just a great got damn movie. I love the scene where the father gets on his son for bringing old girl home. That was some true ether.

Dont forget the end wit the $5 Prostitute

What I love about Spike's older films is he really captured how racist and segregated NYC can really be.

I knew then as a Cali Itty Bitty wit BK Ties to never touch Bensonhurst

Now Coney Island on the Other Hand

One of the greatest romance films!

In my top 5 Spike Lee

maybe top 3

Wesley Snipes was on his own level in the early 90's

Had to run this back for the first time in 10+ yrs. I thought Cyrus (Spike Lee) wife was Halle Berry. So I thought she turned into a crackhead And he a whole hoe for tellin his wife his boy cheated on his wife. That woulda been hands on sight

Still wondering how her father found out...

Italian broad told her friends, and one of her friends boyfriend ran his mouth. Word got around the neighborhood.

Round the way girl that would get you hemmed up in Bensonhurst when it was predominantly Italian.

Considering she was throwing it to anybody and Wesley effing every white women he could, I'm sure they hooked up off camera.
