You gotta hold the mirror up. Why did eight years of Obama fail to make substantial enough change to race relations in the US? Very good question. But you have to understand: race relations — which have gotten worse — are a direct response to having a black president. Has anything fundamentally changed for the good since ?
We just buried King George Floyd. Yes, but I never imagined this. Before, you just read articles about it. Now, you are seeing these horrific murders. That makes all the difference in the world. You know what? As he was dying, I believe he saw his mother. His mother came to him in his last breaths.
I promise you, I will come back from the pearly gates, from the upper room, to stop a remake. So help me God. Why do you think the same white critics and a few black ones who praised Do The Right Thing were outright dismayed by in my opinion one of your best films? I guess they felt guilty watching it.
They might have felt they were being targeted by Spike Lee. Would you consider doing a British-set film with British actors? Especially as the US and UK share many similar racial politics issues. Yes, I have worked with several Brits.
Clive Owen! Chiwetel [Ejiofor]! Great actors. I would have no opposition to doing that. Which of your films are you most disappointed by in terms of their critical and commercial reception? People missed Bamboozled. Miracle at St Anna.
The biggest one is Chi-Raq. If you could go forward or backward in time to witness a historic or personal event, what would you want to see or experience first-hand, and why? Well, first of all, I have to give my love to Rosario. Rosario, I love you, I love you, I love you. I was alive; I was seven years old. To have heard those words with my own ears …. When I cast two black actors and a white actor as best-friend factory workers in Blue Collar, I knew it was an unlikely pairing, but not implausible — therefore worth doing.
He would be the villain and I would tell it from the viewpoint of the Native Americans. One day! Does the recent win for Green Book , and that for Driving Miss Daisy 30 years ago, reflect the inability of the liberal, white US to confront the seriousness of racism in the US?
People are dying every day. Do you think Michael Jordan will ever let anyone make a movie about his life and times … and would you do it? I ask while shaving my head …. Two separate skills. I love you, Idris. I wanna commend my brother for telling the world that he tested positive [for coronavirus] and telling the world that this thing is no joke. It was so important.
There were some crazy ghetto rumours that black people could not be affected by — as we call it — That You did a great service to squash that lie. People might have died or not proceeded with care because they thought their black skin made them immune. See more awards ». Known For. Do the Right Thing Director. Malcolm X Director.
