I had no idea until the end that he was the director, I just thought he was a bad actor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172446849111712883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102083477633345540.post-37781284850032351752013-09-03T23:54:34.906-04:002013-09-03T23:54:34.906-04:00I'm in the minority (no pun intended) on this ...I'm in the minority (no pun intended) on this film in that I don't think it's brilliant. My biggest problem is that Spike Lee cast himself in the pivotal role of the person who kicks off the riot. I don't know if he felt that role would be a lightning rod for criticism and didn't want to make any of his actors have to catch the fallout so he cast himself, or if he cast himself out of ego because he knew how imporant the role was. Unfortunately, he's a far better director than he is an actor. I just didn't think he had the acting chops to pull off that important a role. Because of that, all the rest just didn't work for me.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
