hilarious.
I was looking at my Twitter timeline, when of course, I saw Spike Lee's tweets, they looked annoying *(personal peeve) because He Wrote Like This, you know? so I replied him without the intention of getting a reply back from him, I said "Spike Lee writes his tweets with caps in the start of every word, its kind of annoying" HE REPLIED ME and said "Get Over It" HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA Highlight of my week.
I agree with Maximillan. He has a tendency to over-stylize his films, but his style is right up my alley. But what I love about Spike Lee is also what annoys me tremendously. His lack of self-control, but also his exhuberance and agression. It always adds up to a film (besides Do The Right Thing) that I both like and dislike.
With Lars von Trier, one of the most overrated and overappreciated directors in the history of time.
i admittedly haven't seen his entire output, but I think his works are very far from racist. Specific examples?
The first 7/8's of Mo' Better Blues is Mr Lee's best work. Like its subject Mo' Better Blues is cerebral, sexy, and visceral. Commit to the flames all other 'Jazz' films. I demand a dedicated page!
Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, School Daze, 25th Hour, He Got Game and The Inside Man were all awesome. Kobe Doin' Work is also a great treat for basketball fans. I don't care what anyone says tho, Summer of Sam was his best picture. It was near perfect with the exception of that stupid talking dog. Spike Lee is the most overlooked filmmaker in mainstream cinema.
Hey Spike do the right thing be my friend check out this video tell me what you think. If i don't ask i won't Know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6pi7EENQZg&feature=email
I went to school for Motion Picture Production. Specializing in Cinematography. Mr. Spike Lee, has been a Titan as well as a Guru for myself and others. There is much to learn from this Scholar in the art of Pre, Post, AND Production. Having hope is on thing but creating truth is another. "Do The Right Thing" Inspired me so much. FIGHT THE POWER. Much Love, AND Respect. LONG LIVE "40 ACRES & MULE"!!! AND never forget MARS BLACK... -PEACE- I HOPE TO WORK WITH YOU ONE DAY.
Ellen I think I do have a story to share about my Brother. He past away two years ago. He was the very first African American to be featured on a National weekly show...At the age of five he was the biggest STARS ON TELEVISION in the beginning of TV ... The Show was called "Star Time!" When we his own family went to see his show, we had to enter the building in the back, while he was given the red carpet treatment... He was also so the first kid in ebony in the Zenith advertisement! Way back in the early 50's His career was very short. Because of greed... He never recovered. But in his later years he became one of New York's Street promoters promoting Rap artist..... And at his funeral many of the artist that he promoted came to say a last farewell, never knowing his own history.... And was moved to tears...
Spike Lee is a Reference for my generation! As a historian of the African diaspora, I hope he would like one day to work on a historical movie on Blacks in ancient times.
Spike Lee is a very talented director,actor,producer. When you work hard all of your blessings will come to you. Im looking forward to working with him on the set one day!
