Spike Lee

Unfortunately, I haven't seen a lot of Spike Lee's work, so I don't feel like I can really give a solid opinion on his most transformative work. I enjoyed the clips of his film Malcolm X and I feel that that was an important story to be told and from the clips it looked like a very powerful film to me. Overall, I think that films that touch upon important historical stories are important in order to keep the story alive and further education. This is why I would like to see this full movie because I think that there is something to be learned from this film.

This past weekend, I watched one of his most recent films, "Oldboy", which was a remake of a previously done film. I enjoyed this movie even though the themes were quite disturbing, but I felt that it was well done and the plot was developed really well. I don't think it was one of his best films or did much to transform any ideas, but it was a decent film that I would recommend to others.
