Spike Lee Goes On A 5 Minute Rant Defending His New Movie "Chiraq" [VIDEO]

[N711oir]

He makes good point defending his casting for canon.

I mean I never heard anyone asking for Denzel's credentials for training day

As far as I know he ain't got no bodies?

But the argument about the mothers and people being in the film, that they wouldn't be involved if the message wasn't good
I done seen some weird stuff from these parents with stained children. I don't follow cac news but I recall mothers breaking their necks to forgive the killer shooting up that church their families bodies weren't even cold yet or buried so

It may be a on demand viewing for me.

So you're saying Nick Cannon has the same acting ability as Denzel? :hmmjb:

You don't see any Jews making satire about the Holocaust.


Just over sexualized garbage about a serious situation, doesn't touch on any systemic problems.

Good one
No I'm saying they didn't want him portraying no parts of Chicago based on who he is off camera. A none cornball, he's no killer. I'm saying Denzel played a tough criminal type role but is outside or off camera life wasn't called into question it was just his acting chops or abilities. They think of nick as a Carlton type dude and it's basically in their faces to have them play that role it's almost the equivalent to casting a cac to play the role

nikka been in his feelings all week cause Chicago folks in general ain't feeling the movie. Been all over different radio stations with the same old "make your own opinions" rhetoric. Nah ain't no one trying to watch a Chiraq satire man.

I would actually have to with disagree with @Malta. The movie covers a lot of systemic issues within a country. The movie was filled with double meanings and points that actually go deeper than surface level so I would say that this movie was a great movie from a substance standpoint.

The acting was not great but the main character, Wesley and Angela did a fantastic job.

The most meaningful movie I seen in the last two years. It probably went over to many movie goers heads. It's not straightforward like Creed. It was laced with double meanings.

I don't expect lower minded negros to understand from the first viewing. @Napoleon, you should check it out.

If you watched School Daze many times, it took till the sixth viewing till you finally understood what Spike's message was about. It's like that, you can't comprehend it on surface level, you have to look at the big picture. Spike's a genius.

Denzel is a good actor tho.
I should neg you for even trying to make the comparison.

Nick wasn't terrible in the role. He actually played the role quite well. The issue wasn't him selling the role, the issue is him being Nick Cannon. Many people who know him knows he's a cornball but he wasn't great but he wasn't bad either. Merely decent and much better than expected from my perspective. This is coming from someone who doesn't lIke Nick Cannon.

That's because Denzel is arguably the greatest actor in history breh, no one is gonna question his background because he'll give a great performance anyway. So again, if you're implying that Nick Cannon of all people is of the same level that he gets that same benefit of the doubt then that's your opinion. I think people see that plus what your saying about Nick having always been a Nickelodeon ass cornball brotha playin a gangsta nikka in Chicago. Add in that the movie is supposedly a musical and I can see why people ain't fukkin with it.

Obsessed wannabes want an authentically ultra violent movie based in Chicago. My issue is turning a Shakespeare play into a movie about Chicago but I'll wait to see it to pass judgement.

Actually youth that have grown up watching their friends and family murdered did not like the situation to be satirical documented on film.

In reality, this film didn't need to be called "chi raq" or based in Chicago. That was done for profit and to have a catchy hip name.

What do you think about these reviews?

Chicago young people weigh in on the film, "Chi-Raq"
