    Ive seen this film a million times. I love it. But everytime i get to the end i think i really understand it. And i think about whatever craziness is going on in the world right now, and i realize I don't. And i may be a white man but it doesn't matter. This movie is meant as a wake up call to the black community, but its a wake up call to everyone. Look at the nonsense we let divide us.
    And i still think the best acting in the whole movie is the look on Julians face . Like he finally is waking up. Its subtle but so so powerful

    Spike's brother died while pleading. He wanted to make this movie to tell our people to stop with the pledging, they are basically gangs. ⏰
    Brilliant film, much more than entertainment.
    Julian owes Jane an apology PERIOD. He manipulated her into sleeping with Half Pint. Poor thing was weak and he took advantage of that just so he could break up with her. What a loser and a coward. ⏰

    • @BumpyHumpyDumpy
      @BumpyHumpyDumpy 2 года назад

      1) Spike Lee said “a brother,” not his brother.
      2) They’re basically like gangs, except that 2020 saw a historic increase of 2,429 Black Americans for a historic total of 9,913 Black American homicide victims in 365 days. That’s an average of 27 a day. 2020 also saw a 25% increase in Black deaths caused by vehicular accidents, a benefit of the Black privilege cultivated to commit crime.
      People like Spike Lee scapegoat and profit. Man made a film called Chiraq and cast Nick Cannon, Wesley Snipes, Angela Bassett, John Cusack, and Sam Jackson in it. Spike Lee is the greatest evidence that your race means nothing towards your knowledge. This man has made so many tone deaf films that completely miss the mark that it’s truly remarkable. Do The Right Thing is a great film, but then he ends it with two quotes that completely contradict each other from MLK Jr. and Malcolm X. Spike Lee cares more about dressing like an idiot than Black children being shot to death, you think the man gives one damn about the historic devaluing of Black Life that BLM brought about?
      Check out Glenn Loury and John McWhorter if you want examples of brilliant Black American men. The counter is Spike and his buddy Ibram X Kendi, whose birth name is actually Henry Rogers. I guess it’d be hard to profit off of race hustling as Mr. Rogers, the son of university educated and extremely successful people that guaranteed his post-secondary education long before he could conceptualize a disdain for his own name.
      If Black Americans want betterment, they’re eventually going to have to stop making excuses. They’re going to have to not defend outright criminals. Hell, Black Americans were defending Will Smith and saying White people shouldn’t speak on the altercation between two Black men 🤣
      Y’all realize that there’s actually a long history in America of Black males not being charged for murder when killing another Black male…correct? That’s kind of what’s occurring now, except it’s the so called Liberals saying don’t speak on Black violence…”that’s our problem.” Turn your eyes from the outright animalistic savagery that seems inherent to use low lives, we just can’t help but assault each other, shoot each other, loot stores, beat women, and drive like maniacs while unlicensed!
      The KKK couldn’t have done a better job of sowing hatred while cultivating so much death and destruction…AND Y’ALL APPLAUDED IT! Spike Lee is really brilliant, and Black Lives Will NEVER Matter.

And let's not forget the invaluable contribution Spike's father, noted jazz bassist Bill Lee, made to his son's early films. Lee's films lost an important musical ingredient when his father departed from the creative team.

    @queendivine3044 2 года назад +17

    I listen to this and think about the drug addiction and hustling lifestyle that is still being looked upon as a good thing in the hood or neighborhood. The home's being torn apart behind generational choices of getting a piece of the pie why another dies or be taken away and children growing up in one parent homes or a home with parents they don't even no. Wake up sleepers nothing good or wonderful about that life. Killing you own for your own selfish gain and the loss of another. Far from a act of loving someone as you love yourself freedom starts with you. All lives matter and freedom comes when the change starts with you. Don't wait for the world to change some like the slumber they are in.

    This movie came out when I was about 5 or 6. I didn't see it until I got older. It makes so much sense. The light skin vs dark skin debate still goes on and it pisses me off thoroughly. We need to wake up.

    Stop being crabs in a barrel…ever since I saw this movie in high school …it made me more conscious of my decisions in life…and trying to help my people as much as possible…I followed Laurence Fishburne and Giancarlo Esposito’s careers too…from Rusty Cundieff to Roger G. Smith…the supporting cast was tight…so many actors who were just basically starting their careers in TV and movies…Jasmine Guy, Darryl M. Bell, and Kadeem Hardison basically got their auditions for “ A Different World” after the casting director saw this movie!

      I think he’s trying to “wake them up” to all of the craziness that’s going on. Half pint sleeping with women who don’t want to be slept with, Julian sleeping around and messing up everyone mentally, etc. notice how Julian (the frat leader) was the LAST to wake up but he was the ring leader of everything wrong going on.

      William Shorter The movie took on the issues of elitism, classism, and colourism. Dap ( Laurence Fishburne) broke the fourth wall to plead with the audience to wake up and, not only stop participating in those behaviors, fight back against them.

      Black people in U.S. had been lulled into apathy, not paying attention to international affairs, (esp. Africa) Young people were into frats and soros and materialism. Older people tired of fighting, "It's YOUR turn" was their attitude toward young people. Anyway ,seemed Black people just went to sleep, no one doing anything for the betterment of Black people globally. Wake up! was a clarion call to not only pay attention, but to be pro active.
