      Subtle Barrier

      In Spike Lee's production filmwork of “Jungle Fever'', a tragic story calling out the struggles and hardships of inter-racial romance (in this context, a black versus white romantic relationship, or to be more direct, a love affair in its very essence) has been presented and shown to its audiences, which is apparently also the first ever time cross-race romance has become one of the most important main/central focus topics of the director (the audiences could be able to...

      Is it God's fault?

      First of all, I declare that I am not a chosen person of God, otherwise there would be no such doubt.
          As far as I know, according to Christian doctrine, the original sin of mankind started when Adam and Eve stole the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. After that, God drove them out of the garden and created different languages ​​among their descendants so as not to join together to build a ladder that could climb to the sky. If it is really like that, it will disturb God's purity....

      If you don't look at Spike Lee, you will never understand the racial divide in the United States!

      If there was no such epidemic, what would be the hottest news for movie fans these days?

      Of course it was the Cannes Film Festival.

      I remember that when Spike Lee was officially announced as the chairman of the jury at this year's Cannes Film Festival, domestic netizens made "politically correct comments."

      The first time I heard that Spike Lee’s name was at the Oscars in 2019, his...

      All committes of war

      The amazing film is actually not the typical style of American films. Compared with the male protagonist, the female protagonist is about a purer love animal, but it is hard to say that the male protagonist’s tendency to compromise and identify is not more appropriate. What Lee makes me feel incredible is that he can portray everyone except the protagonist so disgusting, committe of war/conseil de guerre, and even the protagonist is weak, wandering, or boring and cowardly (paulin), hysteria....

      Not American, lacking enough sense of substitution, but the same topic is true in China: rural and urban, indigenous and non-local, class gap, Han and minority, male and female. . . Ethnic conflicts are everywhere. What is worth noting is the way and attitude of Spike Lee's discussion of issues, not preaching, but frank presentation and questioning, and the whole process is pleasing to the...
