School Daze, that's the fraternity movie. The other one I really liked was Mo' Betta Blues, however he is pretty rough on the Jewish people in that one. But I will watch anything with Denzel in it. Understand I have no axe to grind here, I could care less about his philosophy, but I don't think he makes any secret of how he feels. Maybe you never heard him in person or on the HBO fight night special when he went at it with
Larry Merchant. 40 acres and a Mule; pretty much says it all.
She's Gotta Have It, yes it was a sophomoric effort but it had a lighthearted sense of fun and exuberance that I personally found engaging.
Do The Right Thing operated on so many levels that it seemed stitched together; moments of brilliance sandwiched between cliche' proselytising. It was like watching a train wreck in action. But I will admitt it was hard to take your eye's off of it.
Anyway you have to seperate the art from the artist.
