Spike Lee Films

I think Spike Lee's film She's Gotta Have It is a very transformative film. It can show a part of the world that people are very, very unconfortable talking about, even in privat affairs. The idea that any man can have sex with anyone and virtually come out unscathed while women can't have sex freely without being labeled a harlot or worse is an idea, while controversial, should be explored. It shows how a woman who is comfortable with her sexuality, can have a wild life and still be just as much a person as anyone else. It offers a fresh view of a strange, exotic viewpoint. While this is new and fresh, it is still a fresh wound to people who are sensitive to this kind of subject. It needs more experimentation to show more films that can change sexual stereotypes.
