I had no idea that Spike's dad had died just this past Wednesday... So sorry for his loss... The fact that his dad wrote music for his NYU films and starred in one of his "joints" puts a smile on my face. Much love for this genius storyteller that is Spike Lee!
Great interview with Spike by Arjun Sajip. Well done! 😂🎉😊
Great interview!
Great director
Fascinating interview. Never heard him or any black director. He made his points. More equality in film making. I was very interested in his history of using music in his films.
Haven't seen Bamboozled yet but I'm looking forward to watching it some day

It’s a really good film saw it in theaters
An interesting share and much appreciated. Continued blessings to you and yours always. Gratitude 🙏
All is Fair in Love is in Jungle Fever but was on 1973's Innervisions. Stevie (or Spike) did in fact pull songs out the vault for Jungle Fever.
Awesome!!! My filmmaking inspiration! 🎥
Great interview. I wonder how Spike would feel if you knew that William Friedkin, the director who he very much admires and got an autograph from, thought that the film "A Birth of a Nation" by DW Griffith was an American film classic which told the true stories of how blacks newly freed from slavery ran amuck marauding white citizens' property and raping white women?
In the word brother he make her female other the brotherhood of man
