WHY SPIKE LEE NEVER MADE A FILM GIVING THE BLACK MAN JUSTICE?

[gluvnast]

Spike Lee tells his stories based upon the concepts of REALITY. In REALITY rarely is their justice for the black race and rarely is their a " happy ending". Though I enjoyed Django immensely to compare the fantasy that was Django Unchained to the REALITY that was Malcolm X is not only incorrect, it is based upon faulty logic bordering upon trolling. If you are actually serious I trying to compare Django to a Spike Lee joint I highly recommend you read a book on African American HISTORY the past several hundred years because I can guarantee you there are more instances of Do The Right Thing than Django throughout black history

now that's a cop out excuse. how come when a white director films something that's based on reality they have HEROS? damn near every spielberg film have some WHITE hero in it.

spike be one of the main ones that show more NEGATIVE images of black people than uplifting one. the ONLY real exception would be malcolm x.

i mean even john singleton, twice had a film that truly had a black hero representing US... both with the shaft remake and with rosewood with ving rhames!

Both Inside Man and Miracle At St. Anna portrayed African American main characters in a positive "Heroic" light. So there you are...

Regardless, again your argument is based upon mostly works of pure FICTION (The Shaft REMAKE bruh) against works grounded in the reality of the African American experience. The only one you posted based upon any type of reality was Rosewood, a period piece, which is "countered" by Spike Lee's Miracle at St. Anna, ANOTHER period piece.

Again comparing Django Unchained, a FANTASY with almost ZERO basis upon any type of true events or circumstances (save the institution of African American slavery) to Malcolm X or ANY Spike Lee film is absolutely horrible logic, based upon faulty common sense.

Of all the things you could possibly criticize Spike Lee for, this is easily the stupidest.

with inside man, there was a black man as a LEAD... whut kind of heroism did he actually do? in fact it took a WHITE robber to help him expose the truth!

2nd of all, the point i was making name ONE film, in which we are upheld as a nation in an uplifting light by spike lee. he's a filmmaker. you can create a film grounded by reality that still showcases one of US representing for US in a heroic manner. that doesn't exist in his films. especially with "do the right thing" when every black character IN there was depicted negatively. if his "view" of black america is always a negative one... then whut is he trying to say?

 

[gluvnast]

Do the right thing.

nobody in do the right thing was depicted as "heroic"... the closest being DA mayor and his entire life was nothing positive about it.

 

[gluvnast]

nobody in miracle st. anna were portrayed in a positive light with any sort of heroism for black people. they were young adults that were still trying to figure out who THEY were and how they can fit in this white man's war.

all of them were flawed and it was partially due to their inner-conflicts that led to their demise. not to mention some of the worst stereotypes of black people was expose in that film.
