Spike Lee Films

Spike Lee's Film, Bamboozled, that we watched in class was great. I thought it was really crazy the way that his show took a turn for success. It reminded me a lot of Mel Brooks' The Producers, except The Producers didn't possess quite the biting social sting that was seen in Bamboozled. I really enjoyed watching that movie actually and also the portrayal of certain characters. The white man was "blackenized", the black man was "whitened", and the stage characters were blacker than night. Altogether a pretty great film.

Mark,

You should rent the film and watch the whole thing--glad you made the link with "The Producers," and you'd probably enjoy the movie "Network."

Take care,

Jacque
