Excellent film
5 December 2015 | by sespoor (Portland) – See all my reviews
I loved this film, I have always appreciated Spike Lee. Chi-Raq is timely, poignant, honest, political, smart, sexy, thought provoking, tragic and important. Black culture is rich and beautiful and should be celebrated. I'm not understanding the static Lee is receiving from the Black community but I'm White so I'm not sure I can. But what I do know is that oppression breeds contempt breeds hate. I can't wait to hear what bell hooks is thinking- about the power of pussy, about women taking an absolute stand on Black on Black violence and how the film plainly states that oppression by the White patriarchal machine is the reason why there is so much violence in the 'hoods of America. Haters gonna hate but this film is important!!
