You basically begged me to neg rep you........
Of course Highest 2 Lowest isn't one of Spike Lee's best movies, but for damn sure this movie didn't perpetuate non-truthful stereotypical black women struggle stereotypes like Tyler Perry movies do.
Comparing Tyler Perry to Spike Lee is like comparing Josh Smith to Michael Jordan. Sure they both can dump but the other is head and shoulders against his comparison.
I just watched a movie where I heard Denzel Washington say nikka more times than every movie he’s been in, combined, since Training Day, and it added nothing to the character and story
i just saw a movie where a 70 year old black man beat he shyt out of someone that’s half his age.
I just saw a movie where a young black man named Young Felon felt his only option was to steal $17.6 million from a wealthy man.
i saw a movie where a teenager had Kamala Harris on his wall.
I don’t think Spike Lee knows how to depict women on his films and I definitely don’t think he likes lower-class people because they were either criminals or former criminals who type “on the lo lo.”
This movie had an out of place and weird music video at the end.
But when I said this was made a Tyler Perry movie, I meant more for the weird pacing, unserious tone, bad acting, plot holes, logical fails and a lot of other poor filmmaking choices. It was done for snooty blacks, but with the same stereotypes dm for snooty negroes.
