FIRST TIME watching School Daze (1988) | Spike Lee banned from Morehouse after this!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ต.ค. 2024
- In an interview, Spike Lee revealed that he was kicked off the Morehouse campus during filming and banned from the HBCU because the president thought the movie depicted Black fraternities, sororities, and HBCUs negatively. Years later, after a new president was hired, he was welcomed back and is now on the board of trustees.
Storyline: At historically black Mission College, the activist-minded Dap (Laurence Fishburne) immerses himself in a world of political rhetoric and social movements -- one day he hopes to rally the students as a united front. At the other end of the spectrum, Julian (Giancarlo Esposito), the head of the biggest fraternity on campus, is more concerned with maintaining a strict social order. In between, Dap's conflicted cousin, Half-Pint (Spike Lee), spends most of his time rushing the fraternity.

black classic films, first time watching
Watching many black stars in their "hey-day"reminded me of another 1984 all black cast movie that launched a few careers and gave a few forgotten black role actors some much needed work to resurrect theirs. "A Soldier Story".
I’ll look it up! Thank you for the recommendation!
@@im_a_Fann "A Soldier Story" is an AWESOME suggestion if you like to see a lot of black unknowns that became stars later, similar to the first "The Color Purple" 1985 and "Glory" 1989
26:21 that fight was REAL ! Spike kept the sorrority and fraternity separate from the other half of the cast to create the tension for the movie .

Lots of people got their start from this movie which is a feat in itself. Notice three people from A Different World are here as well, (Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy, and Daryl M. Bell).
Fun fact: the fight that happened between Dap and Julian and their crews at the step show was an actual fight according to Spike Lee. Learning about the making of this movie is also fun too.
Yeah I read an article about the movie where he mentioned the fight and how he dropped from the Qs. I haven’t watched full episodes of A Different World but they definitely took inspiration from this movie!
This was the first Spike Lee joint i saw in theaters with my cousin who attended Clark Atlanta University when i was seven or eight years old & it was my introduction to Spike Lee, Giancarlo Esposito, Roger Guenveur Smith, Bill Nunn & James Bond III. The guy with the glasses is Giancarlo Esposito. He was in a lot of Spike Lee movies & you may have seen him on the series Breaking Bad. Tisha Campbell has been acting since she was a kid. Spike Lee said the reason why the sex scene between Dean Big Brother Almighty & Jane was awkward was because Tisha Campbell was 18 years old at the time & her mom didn’t want her doing any sex scenes. Please watch the following Spike Lee movies:
She’s Gotta Have It
Do The Right Thing
Mo Better Blues
Jungle Fever
Malcolm X
Crooklyn
Get On The Bus
Clockers
Girl 6
He Got Game
Bamboozled
Inside Man
A Miracle At St. Anna
She Hate Me
Sucker Free City
I'm seen this movie a thousand times and I never thought of the "days" being spelled like "Haze" lol wow.
My favorite Spike Lee movie. Saw it when it first came out when I was in college. 👍
You deserve more subscribers!
Thanks in due time!
If I’m not mistaken, the back story on Julian and Dap is that they were once friends. However, the relationship changed after they pledged together and Dap dropped line.
I can totally see that!
That IS the story.................even though it's not always apparent. You have to listen to the dialogue closely. They DO mention it when Julian tells Half Pint that he's going to drop, just like his cousin.
@@iguillo Yes in which I said in my reaction video "I wonder if he's the cousin they were talking about that dropped." Thank you for your input.
Spike Lee's sister was in this movie as well. She's in the darker skinned sorority. You can't miss her because they look like twins. She looks like Spike Lee in dr@g....
Both sides of black women are fine 😂❤❤ classic movie tho
They mix not black stop saying that
Nice work! ❤I love it when young people react to the classics. I used to play a clip from this movie every morning before I went to high school to help motivate me for the school day🤣. IMO the actors that would later become big stars other than the ones you called out (Spike, Laurence, Kadeem, Tisha, Jasmine and Cassi Davis from House of Payne, multiple Madea movies) are Samuel L Jackson (Too many movies to name), Giancarlo Esposito (Too many movies and TV shows to name), Bill Nunn (Do The Right Thing, New Jack City, Spiderman 1-3), AJ Johnson (Baby Boy, House Party), Tyra Ferrell (Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice), Daryl M. Bell (Different World), Roger Guenveur Smith (Do The Right Thing, X, He Got Game), Kasi Lemons (Silence of the Lambs, multiple director credits), and Ossie Davis (Too many movies to name)
Thank you for the information & thank you for watching!
James Bond III was in this movie as well. He was also in The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh & Go Tell It On The Mountain. Giancarlo Esposito & Kadeem Hardison was in as well. James Bond III went on to direct, write, produce & starr the horror movie Def By Temptation which also starred Kadeem Hardison, the late Bill Nunn & Samuel L. Jackson. It’s a good watch.
Love this movie and funny thing is i moved to Atlanta as a teen when they filmed this near campus of Morris Brown. I worked in the summer learning to upholster furniture down off Castleberry Ln. That KFC was actually a Burger King they changed signage. My sister wound up going to Lincoln after watching this movie so its amazing how "entertainment"can penetrate the subconscious. Being older now and having more life experience I don't agree with as much of the political stuff but i think its good to have the discussion and provoke CONSTRUCTIVE thought especially at this age.
That was Kadeem Hardison and that is Cassi Davis from House of Payne
This movie and do the right thing have always been my most favorite Spike Lee movies. Hope you do a reaction to that movie too. This movie has more likable characters than the other movie.
I remember falling asleep to Do The Right Thing when I was younger so I’m in no rush to react to it like other classics I haven’t seen. Eventually I will tho. Thanks for watching!
How can y'all react to a movie and talk through the entire film is crazy to me so if you actually go out to the movies they will call you ghetto lmao just read a book
It’s a reaction channel not a watchalong. It’s not for me to show you the entire movie. Go watch it your damn self. Stop being slow.
@9:22 it is ironic that former President Trump suported and gave more money to HBCU's than any other administration. People hate to read and find that out. Yeah we have to give back to these HBCu;s. I give and never went , have given to Lincoln and Morgan State . Talk is cheep. Buy less clothes and send that money to HBCU's
Biden gave yet more $$ to HBCUs than Trump did with commitments to fund them well into the future. Just sayin'
