‘Highest 2 Lowest’ | Denzel Washington & Spike Lee Reunite to Remake Kurosawa Classic | A24 • Apple (8/22)

[OJ Simpsom]

Movie was written by a white boy with no experience It all makes sense now.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

He didn’t write the movie either

Whoever it was, you could tell they were a bourgeois new Black with all the shyt like Ebony alerts, look on Black twitter and media takeout

Looking at the vid above, this seems to be the writer which makes this(script/movie) worse

Damn I thought this was coming to theaters.
I love the original version but going through this thread it looks like this isnt up there with it

 

[mastermind]

This deserves a neg.

Spike has made some clunkers in his career (Da Sweet Blood Of Jesus, Red Hook Summer) but Spike has never reached the low levels of "Straw"

That was an extreme blasphemous take.

this movie ain’t different from the stereotypical Tyler Perry movie.

And he has a few more clunkers than those two.

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 dunk but the other is head and shoulders against his comparison.

Say what you want about Tyler Perry. More black people watch his movies and TV shows in the last 15 years than anything Spike Lee has released.

That's the equivalent of saying people stream Drake's music more than they stream Jay-Z and Nas' music.

It means a bunch of nothing.

Then it's actually the equivalent of Jay-Z and Nas making music that sounds like Drake this late in their legendary careers. Spike needs to hang it up. Made a Tyler Perry movie dressed as a Spike Lee Joint

If Tyler Perry made this movie it would have been better imo. fukkery would have been on 100,000 which would have made it way more entertaining.

Jeff Wright would be played by some light skinned buff weird looking guy who is obviously gay but still in the closet

The foot chase of the cac cop in timbs running down the stairs like he got on high heels …know dude has never worn timbs a day in his life.

The text Jeffrey sent to go contact “Who dis nikka iz?”

The horrific music choices

The ass run time
