    Spike Lee is a young film writer/director/producer who focuses his ambitions and talents on some pretty touchy subjects, the main one being racial/social attitudes and tensions in the US. I have to admit that I do not realize what he is trying to say in just one watching, he crams so much stuff into his films that while one is trying to get an arm around the dialogue, the sets are ever changing to reflect the mood but in a subtle manner. Pretty heavy stuff, but I never tire of his manipulation of the audience or his message. One has to be very astute as his films have sets that change very subtly, they grow or diminish in very small ways. His use of colorization for clothing and background to set the mood is very keen along with the music score in any movie he makes. He makes the audience take a look at themselves that they may have never thought of and he often posits himself in a scene or two. So if you want to think about US society and about humanity, this is the fellow.
    Thank you Debbie, will watch out for the name.

                Personally I choose not to make a trip all the way to the movies just to pay $10 to see the movie once and be thirsty becuase a drink costs an additional $5. However I do very much enjoy watching movies on HBO. I am known for changing the channel however when I know how its going to end, unless of course I feel there may be a twist or something worth seeing. Name a genre/sub-genre and I can point out a good movie about it.

                      I believe it was called "steal" it was a GREAT movie, check it out. I saw it on AMC but you may find it on HBO one day. Either that or "steel" eitherway, great movie.

                            No problem, its a great movie. You will know its the right movie if in the first scene they are robbing a bank and get away on rollerblades.
