Spike Lee on the legacy of Bamboozled 

Bamboozled was maybe his worst film, but always thought provoking.

it can be both.

Honesty when heard from an oppressor simply seems like anger. Especially to the oppressor whom thinks he is offering you the gift of life by simply allowing one the right to breathe. Don't expect water, food, clothing, or shelter becsuse then you're just being pushy.

I don’t see how this film was anything other than factually correct.

@@daniel0060 Exactly. They always reflexively call the revelation of the TRUTH "angry". It is a way of dismissing or discrediting the legitimacy of that truth. That is the primary reason that so many lies and distortions continue to be taught and so many facts remain hidden. People steeped and indoctrinated in a belief system or to believe something often are incapable of adjusting to new conflicting stimuli and reevaluating what they have been taught and have accepted as the truth because it means amending their entire belief system and what they attributed to their "knowledge".

Exactly.

hands down

One of his best. And I saw it when I was 11

Light is not my take away, but it's a great piece of art

he didn't say it as a put down. Do The Right Thing is one of the most influential and best films of all time. You can't say that it isn't angry as well. Its righteous visceral anger contributes to its brilliance.

I thought the same...excellent film sooo ahead of it's time!

Network is a timeless story and the fact it’s become reality means it needs to keep being told until society finally wakes up.

Yes, you should.

William Shaw I did see a face in the crowd. I have put the criterion collection version of A Face in the Crowd on my list. It's Awesome and Andy Griffith was legendary in it along with Walter Matthau.

How white people make fun of black people 🤨.

I didn't laugh and I am a black man but you definitely aren't. 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾

it was a commentary on selling out and what the cost of selling out is and what the value of dialogue is and can that value justify how you stirred it in the first place.... I hear you ( I had to stop watching cause I was embarrassed).

@Jesus H. Christ duh Lawd heroin overdoses are just as hilarious.

Nah- we aren't ahead of that. We weren't then and we aren't now. If it made you uncomfortable that is good.

@@pompunpopularpodcast damn right. latest news declare loud no one is ahead of that.

it’s June 13, 2020... literally 20 years after this movie came out. AND WE CLEARLY ARE NOT PAST THIS.

Lol said the loser on the internet whose sole accomplishment is RU-vid comments.....man, the internet is full of weirdos.

The concept of "underappreciated gem" was made for this movie
