With She's Gotta Have It, the brash, uncompromising, and talented
Brooklynite and Knicks fan Spike Lee burst onto the film scene.
Between his production company, his success as a commercial spokesman
(for Nike and Pizza Hut, among other companies), and his acting
turns, Spike
Lee has managed to prosper both on the fringes and in the
heart of the entertainment industry, ushering in a new era of
respect and attention for African American directors and films.
Do the Right Thing, which stands at the top of his oeuvre, is
a cinematically stunning and poetic film that erupts into incendiary
violence. Even lesser Spike Lee "joints" are fine films,
though overlooked by the Hollywood community at large, perhaps
because of his outspoken criticism of the industry's treatment
of black artists.
