Spike Lee African Americans
1,412 wordsThe days of blackface minstrel troupes may seem like ancient history to most Americans, but Spike Lee wants to refresh our memory.

Spike Lee Malcolm X
586 wordsWhen comparing and contrasting movies and books, the majority of the time the book presents more of a detailed atmosphere and illustration of events. However, in this case I think the book, 'Autobiography of Malcolm X" and the movie, "Malcolm X" quoin side with one another. Spike Lee is not only one of the best filmmakers in America, but one of the most crucially important, because his films address the central subject of race, as so does the book. He doesn't use a sentimental approach or politi...

Spike Lee Daily Telegraph
1,757 wordsHaving read Mel Dear Mel Having read the avalanche of outraged articles in the UK press that preceded the UK launch of The Patriot, I readily admit that I was expecting to see a distinctly anti-British Movie. One such headline complains for example about a blood libel on the British People.

Characters on both sides, including ...

Institutional Racism Spike Lee
595 wordsAnyone who would dismiss Spike Lee as a racist is confusing pride with prejudice. Sure, hes abrasive, blunt, unvarnished and maybe egotistical. But hes also got the self-confidence, fearlessness and knowledge of his personal mission that in past years, and some parts of Idaho today, would have gotten him called an uppity N-word, maybe worse. This reaction to him, to him in America today, and on our campus this week, is an illustration of how far whites (yes, whites) in this nation have not come....
