It's Spike Lee who tours college campuses and cautions the black
students (male students) not to be seduced by dreams of
becoming a basketball or football hero. Today he is probably adding
that being seduced by becoming a war hero is an even bigger
illusion.

That fraternity film is not coming to mind but I've seen
quite a bit of Spike Lee's work. I could not sit through
"She's Gotta Have It", though I tried once. I thought it played
to stereotypes as a 'saleable product' for a young director.

But films like "X" and especially "Get On The Bus" show
Lee as a craftsman of drama. Do not confuse character dialog
with a personal stance by the author. The best of theatre
shows both sides of the argument and lets the audience decide.
