The plot was refreshingly complex and original....

The acting was excellent...

Lee's visuals are always the shit...

the humor and drama meshed well...

I cared about the chracters...

the movie held my attention...

it was thought provoking...sparked conversation afterwards...

the music was good...

it was funny...

the cast was well chosen...

the narrative flowed smoothly...

the surreal parts were imaginative and entertaining....

it was socially relevant...


I like Lee's style as a filmmaker....the biggest problem with criticism of Spike Lee films is that ppl continually choose to IGNORE what KIND of filmmaker Spike is. He is NOT a mainstream director....Do you understand that?

Lee's shit is always going to be off-kilter, left of center....he does not make popcorn movies....you have John Singleton for that...

you accept David Lynch, you accept Taratino, you accept The Coen Brothers, you accept Jim Jarmusch,...shit, you even accept fucking Vincent Gallo....but Spike's shit is too out for y'all???....

GTFOOHWTBS....(and AF, dont say that those guys are BETTER directors...)
