Really? I haven't seen this movie but spike lee has never made a film like that why did you expect this to be different ?

This whole conversation reminds me of the white people who were complaining about the remake of the wiz having an all black cast. lol. They are so steeped in their ignorance and out of their depth regarding the subject matter its not even funny. It's just sad.

If they knew who Spike was and had any basic knowledge of his body of work and track record certain statements would never be made. Just like those fools talking about the wiz remake and not realizing the original was an all black cast and the purpose of it.

If you don't like the movie that's fine. Say that... But to call spike an opportunist? call spike a white supremacist? To say he would make light of black tragedy? You mean the same spike who made "when the levees broke", malcom x, do the right thing, 4 little girls, school daze, miracle at st anna, get on the bus, bamboozled, etc.. You mean that spike? We are talking about the undisputed most influential black film maker of all time. If Spike wanted to make a mockery of black culture and black pain he would have done it a long long time ago. Well before he embarked on a 30 plus year career doing the exact opposite.

spike mad cuz nobody went to go see that wack ass shyt

he spent 15 mill on it and it only made 1 mil opening week lol
And he hurt cause we didn't watch that shyt after we as a city TOLD him we weren't feeling it. And now wants to play the "missing the bigger picture" card saying Rahm Emanuel getting a pass. That's how I know he full of shyt cause if you've actually been in this city the past month, you'd know the whole fukking black community wants that nikkas head on a silver platter. Spike acting like we black folk don't know how to multi-task, we ain't smart enough to not feel his movie AND want Rahm's ass out. And then he keep going to Jennifer Hudson like she the representative of Chicago.

Same dude that criticized Tyler Perry, but feels he is above criticism.

The local news interviewed a bunch of art school kids who grew up on the south and west side and they RIPPED the film.

Spike Lee shouldn't have based this in Chicago. That was blatant for profit choice.

Why shouldn't he have based it in Chicago? What happens in "Chiraq" happens all across the map but it just so happens that Chicago is the center of attention for urban violence because it appears to happen on a larger scale than anyone else. It's simply a metaphor for a wide spread issue and not just about Chicago. People are so simple minded.

Nobody in this world is beyond reproach.

The girlfriend (Teyonah Parris) of a Chicago gang leader (Nick Cannon) persuades other frustrated women to abstain from sex until their men agree to end the senseless cycle of violence.
