Spike Lee. If you read my Denzel post, then you probably knew this was coming. I was introduced to my first Spike Lee movie, Do the Right Thing in a film class. While there were aspects of the movie that I liked, I felt like the end ruined it for me.

It was like he was trying to make a point about racism but missed it himself. I actually believe, like with Denzel, that Spike Lee is racist. I believe that he uses his movies as an acceptable art form in which to express those views.

The fact is, I don't know that he even tries to hide it and I actually prefer he didn't. If he is racist, then I'd rather know it than not. It's better than pretending.

That's here nor there though because it's not the only reason I don't like him as a director. On top of that, I feel that his movies are too gritty with unnecessary sexual content. I realize that now, sexually explicit movies are all we see, but back in 1989 when that movie came out, it seemed really racy.

I do understand that many people completely disagree and that's fine, but this is how I feel about it.
