6.3 stars????

Now I will say first that I am a white man, 20 years old, and very liberal...

That said, I believe this is by far Spike Lee's best film and beyond that, his best social commentary in his career of directing.

This film is quite possibly one of the best examples of the way Hollywood treats African-Americans in popular media today.

While I do have issues with the writing and editing of the movie, I find this to be an amazing social commentary on both the major networks of the world, the "black" networks that produce their various shows and the entire culture of America and their feelings toward the African-American community as a whole.

This is just a start to a thread. I hope to discuss this much further.

6.3 is a pretty acurate score for the movie, the show would be a miserable failure in real life I'm not really seeing how this film is awe inspiring prophetic and truth revealing, the only people who watch BET and such are fratboys and general douchebags/dickheads pretty much everyone else seems to realise its retarded...

I definitely agree. I saw this film in an Experimental Film Theory class and was amazed that this came from Spike Lee. It was thought provoking and one of his most interesting films. Lee gets a bad rep but there is no denying that he is an artist. As far as the camera techniques I think it added to the real, raw feeling of the film and the editing is just his typical style. If anyone is going to see a Spike Lee film, this is the one to see. It shows his true talents. This film is completely underrated.
