She Hate Me

So After my post reviewing On the Down Low, Stan the Man recommended that I watch this Spike Lee movie, "She Hate Me". So I rented you know, I love Spike Lee flicks. Seriously, Bamboozled, She's gotta have it, Crooklyn, and School Daze are amongst the few movies that I've seen at least once and still wouldn't mind seeing again.

This movie however was something different. Most of the movies that I've seen recently have bothered me for one reason. Too much going on. She Hate Me was no different. Whereas it had the usual Spike Lee messages, that I generally agree with and am glad to see discussed. You know, the America hates black people, rich people are amoral and we're all hypocritical lessons that one expects from a Spike Lee flick.

But, this movie had sooo much going on. Biotech VP turned ho and dime-dropper, 19 lesbian couples impregnated by one man, People messing with the black man's money (Now you know that's a recipe for trouble), and the ending (which I won't spoil for those who will see it) was just straight confusing. So where as I appreciated the questions raised by Spike in this flick, I just think he might want to tackle one or two absurd issues at a time, next round. And for the record, I didn't see him in this one or maybe I missed him. I love my Spike Lee cameos!

Oh yes, I did finish "On the Down Low". Very interesting, not well-written but interesting. I thoroughly suggest that women read it to make sure they aware of the issues we face. But I can understand your reluctance if you just don't want to know, ignorance is sometimes bliss. You and your questionable male can continue to be happy. And you can not ask your personal questionable male, the burning question that I want to ask every guy I ever knew. But you could also get AIDS or any other random STD, or you might get lucky and end up with a responsible Down Low Brother, or even one that's not "On the Down Low". All in all I wish you the best.

Thanks for reading
