i know spike lee has many, many things to say. he wants to talk about corporate corruption, black power, dis-empowerment of black men, lesbians need to procreate and the emotional games that they play; i bet there is a hundred and one things if not more that he wants to say in a movie. so this movie becomes a pastiche of his unformed thoughts; they appear anywhere, everywhere like it is nobody's business. the story is incoherent and exploitative judging from the amount of sex scenes in the movie, no i don't enjoy watching naked people in my free time especially when the scene does not call for naked people to be in it. ah well. i am just worried sick because he will direct the remake of chan-wook park's old boy (2003) (oldeuboi (original title)) and he will in all likelihood fuck it up. why can't the studio execs give the movie to darren aronofsky or david fincher, for god's sake?!
ramblings. ok i hate this movie. i have seen only one coherent movie from lee and that is 25th hour (2002). the rest, i don't know - summer of sam (1999) captured the frenzy and panic during david berkowitz's murder rampage in the late 1970's, but it's strictly frenzy and panic. alas, i require more than as a content in a movie if i were to enjoy it.
omg, u watched this movie! i have it, of cos! all i can remember is monica bellucci in it for small part. the rest of the movie is just forgetable.
