I think there still some confusion on the underlying themes and symbolism’s of this movie, based on this interview. The critical juncture of Jesus’ journey was playing ball on the court with his dad, his dad drove him to throw the ball over the fence, dad got mad, came home and it leads to mom getting pushed. One of the last scenes of the movie, father Denzel throws the ball over the prison yard fence and it lands on the sons college court. What does this mean? Does the ball represent anger, resentment and ultimately forgiveness? This movie reminds me a lot of Field of Dreams. Both are movies about father son relationships and the means to fixing a fractured relationship. In Field of Dreams, the field represents forgiveness and second chance. It’s hard to unwrap movies like these. I’d be curious to hear others perspectives on this type of movie. What does the final scene mean when Denzel throws the ball over the prison fence and it lands on the college court.
I mean mothers and fathers alike force their children to go to school , and push them extra hard to make it to college . So I mean this is happening and every aspect of life not just sports.
I think the biggest subconscious part of his writing comes from the most original story of a father pushing a son to sacrifice himself for the sake the father, and that character’s name was also Jesus. For what it’s worth...in that story...he’s also a person that shuttles to freedom.
I think spike has gotten way too much vitriol for entirely reasonable opinions on Quentin using the n-word. That being said I absolutely love Jackie Brown and wouldn't change a thing about it.
That movie is more about the crack epidemic than race relations. The race aspect also ain’t a commentary on how the world would react I think. I think it’s just one story that is made up of how one person’s life would fall apart if they cheated on their wife. Adding the race aspect only makes it more complicated.
This interviewer is lousy . Always tryna argue instead of inspire. This movie is a classic and this movie maker spike Lee is one of the greatest directors of all time …

This man is an underrated genius. Spike Lee was speaking on things in this movie that are coming to light 20 years later(see FBI college scandal)
He Got Game is One of My Favorite Basketball Movies At #2 Love Spike Lee!
Good flick but Summer of Sam brings something different to me and it’s a shame because I think that’s Spikes most underrated work.
Yes sir
One of my favorite Spike Lee films
Thank you Spike for making my all time favorite basketball movie! Very articulate and well-spoken and such a great film director.
masterful film
I Agree Spike Lee Did a Good Job Of Making He Got Game Since He's a NBA Fan Like Me Even Though He's a NY Knicks Fan While I'm a 76ers Fan!
Ive been watching all the Spike x Charlie Rose interviews since the 92 one uploaded. It's incredible stuff. Thank you!
Thank you so much for uploading all these spike lee interviews. i love him
One of his best films of all time, Ray was such a good actor in this.
Still can’t believe Jesus was really suppose to be played by Kobe but he said no
Yeah, he would've killed it. Ray Allen did a great job 👏
Tarantino and spike going at it.

Great Interview! Thanks for sharing
I miss Charlie, a lot great show
This is such a powerful interview
Spike is the man I love spike mindset on movies is incredible
Charismatic interview
Interviewer trying to assert his dominance with the pointing everytime he speaks.
I mean mothers and fathers alike force their children to go to school , and push them extra hard to make it to college . So I mean this is happening and every aspect of life not just sports.
Can someone explained given the last scene with Jake throwing the ball over the wall and somehow the ball landing in Jesus hands?

Legendary Man
Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
I like Basketball and Boxing movies.
New Yorkers are something else everybody there have the same nature. I can only imagine growing up in Coney Island
I enjoyed this
Spike Lee 1998
ENCORE EXCELLENCE 🙏🏾🌹🙏🏾🌹💜💋💋💋💋🌺🙏🏾🌹🌹🌹

One of the all time great black directors. Cheap though in paying his actors regardless of his budget 😂😂
Smart
i guess tiger didnt turn out 'ok' after all
Ray Allen THE KING
Jungle Fever was a strange movie I saw it and I guess that's how it was with race relations back at that time

They did not beat Indiana
I'm not a fan of Charlie Rose.
Terribly racist guy. He Got Game was his best film however.
Spike Lee is not a racist at all
@Sir TroLLington Da 3rd I even think Summer of Sam is better but He Got Game is a terrific film.
