This movie was one of the most disturbing ones that I have watched. The ending still scares me. Still love the movie and it has a strong message.

Lee made a deliberately difficult movie here, it never moves in the directions you suspect and you have to adjust your perspective accordingly. This is something beyond satire and it deserves more serious examination.

An underrated, misunderstood masterpiece by Spike Lee.

A brilliant piece of work, despite flaws which should have sunk it.

I like Spike a lot but this one was a bit too dark for me.

While the satire is impressively biting, the parts in between feel forced and messy and the film's entire tone is a bit baffling.

Even the critics consensus at the top of this page will tell you why this film didnt get respect from the media film critics it was ''too heavy handed" for them. Well all real fans of Spikes and film in general agree that it was perfect. Sorry it was too painful to see how your people treated and portrayed African Americans for over 100 years.

I was hoping that the satire would be a little more scorchingly on point in this movie about a 온라인카지노추천 network launching a minstrel show to absurdly enthusiastic acclaim but it didn't quite rise above its quirks and eccentricities. Still, it did have some great thought-provoking ideas.

Must see movie. Trigger warning for anyone born past 95. If you don't get it then do yourself a favor and read more, your not intelligent enough for adulthood yet.

A "Negro" network creative director ca. 2000 seeks to revive his network's sagging ratings with a variety minstrel featuring black actors in black face portraying the most racist stereotypes possible from a bygone era. Intended as a statement, it is expected to create a ferocious backlash and be canceled. Instead, it becomes an unironic hit in a nod to The Producers, The influence of Network is also present when the show's lead, a tap dancer, quits in disgust only to be executed on live broadcast 온라인카지노추천 by a black radical activist sect. In typical Spike Lee fashion, it's a tick and a half too long, but otherwise a fine piece of work.

Brilliant film. I feel this project was Spikes most important because of the message. Damon Wayans and Tommy Davidson's acting stands out to me the most of the whole cast, you can tell they were both very committed.

Don't let the criticism dissuage you- sure, it has a few weak points, but the satire and imagery cut like icy knives through your comfort bubble. Perhaps the most important reminder that stereotypes kill.

Watching it, you can't unsee it. Unsettling, hysterically absurd, and a very stark reminder that there is history in America that shouldn't be forgotten. The performances are brilliant. Damon Wayans' over the top Pierre Delacroix serves its purpose, but he's also so committed to the role you have to commend him for seeing it through. Jada Pinkett Smith is great, the voice of reason in the movie. Tommy Davidson and Savion Glover frequently steal the show...and Michael Rapaport embodies the late 90's, turn of the millennium corporate douche (with TOO MUCH POWER OVER WHAT IS SEEN ON 온라인카지노추천). This is by far my favorite Spike Lee film, with his documentary When the Levees Broke right behind it.

Bamboozled has a lot to say, but ultimately the narrative is terrible.

Bamboozled is a movie that starts off with a clever concept. I liked the idea of a film in the vein of The Producers, where a black man tries to tank his career by proposing a highly-offensive minstrel show to a modern network, and then watching in horror as people actually embrace the horrific idea. It had great potential for comedy, and a biting commentary on the racism that still exists just beneath the surface in our country to this day (sometimes not even beneath the surface, to be honest.) It started down that road, and I was on board, but I couldn’t help feeling that the story took a turn and the main character transformed in a matter of minutes into someone who enjoyed the humiliating portrayal of his race. While the themes of the film were the same, and there was still a character who represented what is good and right, it felt like the plot lost its direction. The attempt at satire slipped away, and instead it became a dark and depressing spiral downward until the conclusion. And that conclusion was possibly the most confusing aspect of all. I wondered if Spike Lee himself even knew what he wanted to say with the way this movie wraps up. I also should mention just how much I hated Damon Wayans’ performance in the film. I understand the reason for his ridiculous accent, but it was grating to hear for more than a few seconds and made him a character it was hard to care about in any way. All that being said, I think Spike Lee still manages to make a salient point with Bamboozled. He shows the dark history of blackface, minstrel shows, and other instances of racism used for entertainment that litter our past. I only wish he held onto one story and maintained consistent characters because of how strong it all began.

Lee made a deliberately difficult movie here, it never moves in the directions you suspect and you have to adjust your perspective accordingly. This is something beyond satire and it deserves more serious examination.

A film that was before its time! A cautionary tale of what comes in the industry. Tommy Davidson and Jada Pinkett have stand out performances!

One of the earliest exposures I had to absolute anarchy posing as a political message. Spike Lee is like a rabid Quentin Tarantino, too agitated to speak clearly, but too brilliant to tune out.

Very thought provoking film. Definitely worth seeing! .

What. The. Actual. Frig. Was. That? I'm embarrassed for whomever was involved in this nonsense. Jada Pinkett was the only one who could act worth a nickel in this film. Spike Lee has a spectrum along which to place his works. Towards the good end, you have Malcolm X, Inside Man, and School Daze. Towards the good-Lawd-what-is-this end is Chiraq and Bamboozled. Total nonsense. And several scraps of total nonsense pasted together to make one total nonsense of a film. This was supposed to be a social commentary on a problem that hasn't existed for decades. He should have done a film set in the period in which minstrel shows proliferated. In the 90s, 온라인카지노추천 and film were actually much better curators of the African-American image in media, while music still portrays African-Americans as philandering, misogynistic criminals. I know Spike Lee has a personal problem with Tyler Perry. Maybe this was directed towards him. But this was a huge, big, fat FAIL!
