Spike Lee - She's Got To Have It (Netflix Series)

[The War Report]

I loved it. Spike still got it. The fukking sound track was fire. The intro was dope, I love seeing the old pictures of the neighborhood and that being contrasted with how it is now. I loved the actress that played Nola, she was dope. I love her parents. Spike is mad loyal to people he's put on throughout the years. The casting was great, imo.

I didn't have a problem with Mars, was he a bit obnoxious? Yea but to me he's your typical Nuyorican to me. They're live like that. I loved Papo, the Spanglish was on point.


What I didn't like was Fat Joe's acting. WTF was that, breh? Why didn't you just sound like yourself? I don't know wtf he was going for with his character.

Overall, I felt like Spike touched on a lot of contemporary topics. It's sad that black people couldn't hold on to those brownstones. They're fukking beautiful.


Spike definitely loves his old neighborhood.

I love how they shat on Donald Trump in this one.



That dude Greer is mad sus.

 

[The War Report]

bytch didn't even hang up the phone with the dispatcher and the police showed up

That last episode was some bullshyt. The box can't be that good

She got some balls on her, I'll give her that. bytch think she got all the answers

Wt is this high school musical shyt?

Can't blame anyone thinking it was about to turn into a train. But 3 dudes to 1 chick ain't my kind of numbers

Breh, Spike was paying homage to Prince. C'mon son.

A lot of them chose to sell.

That Malcom X portrait was fire.

 

[Guvnor]

It was Papo... they insinuated it when they zoomed in on the G on his lil shopping cart...

Damn, didn't peep that since I was busy texting during that episode. might have to watch it again.

Thanks for the info man.

I think it was good acting. I can see it being hit or miss but that was one of the more memorable characters to me.

@ExodusNirvana Speak on it.

The music/score at the start of episode 3

 

[Ribbs]

Wow this was bad. I see what it was trying to do but man oh man did it misfire. Nola is a basic chick with a heart filled with Tumblr reposts. I fast forwarded through so much of this, there's a lot of scenes that were just too long and sub plots that led to nowhere.

Spoiler: Last episode

I thought they was gonna run a train on her

I would've preferred that over the choreography.

Nola just switching teams like Durant at the end mad it even worse.

 

[Zero]

I guess, maybe I'm from an alternate dimension but much of these issues are those of people who dont grow up around other black people face.

I get a strong sense of this from most newer black cinema/media.

I'll pass on this

 

[Jone2three45]

She had these dumb ass men under a spell. She has a lot of internalized issues with herself too, which is why she abuses her girlfriends, friends with benefits, and herself. Similar narrative with insecure. Show was ok, not my cup of tea.

 

[Kenny West]

Haven't watched this through all the way but it's kinda trash for me.

The characters for young people in Spike films feel less and less like real people and more like vehicles of whatever plot point or theme. Felt the same way with Chiraq. The people in this show literally feel like they were gleaned from caricatures of certain types of Twitter/Tumblr users.

None of her three dudes were written realistically. Outside of Jamie most of them are thematic props for Nola who is a terribly written thematic plot device herself. Insecure managed to be good because of the self reflection and growth of the characters, sometimes it just stumbled on the episode to episode themes. (For example the gentrification episode) This show is the opposite, its wears the skin of Insecure and loudly shouts (but poorly executes) it's themes yet is lacking the life inside the insecure universe. People liked insecure for their down to earth characterization, Nola makes you wonder how anybody can tolerate her presence but everyone is vying for spots in her life.

I'm sure this will be uncriticizeable among the Film Room Moist Boy Brigade for the feminist virtue signaling. You folks are very easy to please
