Spike Lee Interview: Exploring Gordon Parks' Versatility and Impact

[@AlexGarcia-ze4yg]

Spike needs an opportunity to direct a definitive big budget Muhammad Ali biopic.

[@urniebarnes]

He was one of the choices to direct the Ali film and he wanted to do it, but he stated after meeting with Will Smith, he knew he wasn't going to get the job.

[@AlexGarcia-ze4yg]

@@urniebarnes Yeah I read about that. And look at that how that movie turnt out. If Spike would've done Ali, he may have been able to get Denzel and Angela to reprise their roles and the overall film could've served as a semi sequel to Malcolm X.

[@EzeICE]

Fun fact: Spike wrote a script about the legendary boxer called "Save us Joe Louis" and wanted it to be a 3 hour epic, and as it turns out, he couldn't get it made. I guess it worked out because he ended up doing Inside Man, which is his biggest box office hit to date. Can't wait to see him reunite with Denzel and Halle Berry for HIGH AND LOW.

Gordon Parks is an immeasurable wealth. I loved him and didn't know his name but in hindsight whenever I saw a still photo that moved me it was his sight, his scope. And I love me some Mr. Lee no disrespect to his union and love his brain and the stories his eyes tell. They are Titans, each in their own day in their own ways.

“We are Black Men, descendents of African Kings, we are kicking ass and we got the ladies too. We got it covered at all sides. And we ain't scared of White men, we ain't scared. You know, we are going to be respectful and righteous, but if some shits are involved. There are going to be some consequences, it ain't going to be us.” - Spike Lee

[@LaFontaineSounds]

This guy should direct a Marvin Gaye biopic

[@MichelleAhern-gr9zl]

😂 o where 2 put d camera i 'm.crying laughing THKUMAN😊

[@oscarorozco8989]

I believe the Bruce Lee film you're referring to is Enter The Dragon.

[@POETCERA]

I was curious where Mr. Lee stood on guns as he was a frequent passenger on my route when I drove the B38 bus. Today,while watching the movie "Inside Man", I noticed the shirt, the young boy was wearing, depicted an AR-15 rifle with the words Defend Brooklyn. I'm confused. How are we supposed to "Defend Brooklyn", when you and other anti-gunners work diligently to restrict everyone else from exercising their rightful 2nd Amendment rights. Even willing to violate OUR 1st and 4th Amendment Rights in the process. Born and bread, in Brooklyn!

[@POETCERA]

Not sure you understood the “assignment”. It was an honest question. I have another question. Would Mr. Lee please look into the adverse effects of the “poison-poke”? The CDC has officially recognized as much by beginning an investigation into the effects on the heart and clotting. I am a father and a grandfather. I find it TERRIFYING that this “poison-poke” is still being recommended for babies 6 months and up. My daughters were mandated by their respective jobs, to be vaxxed. There isn’t a day that goes by that my heart doesn’t hurt for what might be in store for their future. I failed in protecting them!

[@POETCERA]

@@JC_inc Oh, by the way, I enjoyed the movie. Blessings.

[@guileniam]

Guns should be banned.

[@stephdrake2521]

Spike laughs at his own jokes … who does that ? He’s still brilliant but damm …. Hard to follow his interviews but you have to stick through it - He drops some heavy wisdom and knowledge.

[@ruiz1871]

College professors. Which he is one.

[@EzeICE]

Dad's also laugh at their own jokes. And he is one as well. 😂😂😂😂😂
