Guess I gotta do School Daze now to complete the Box Set! 😂
School Daze would be interesting to cover with the state of fraternities, divesting and colorism today! 🗣Same Sh!t different day 🤷🏽♀️
As a fellow Delta, I cannot wait to hear your synopsis on School Daze fraternities, sororities and colorism within.
@@CandieP It should make for a really great video and I can’t wait to sing so much material 😂
@@StruggleReviewzTV if you need some insight on what really go down in these Black Greek sororities, LMK I’ll send you my email because I have a lot to say. Lol. But overall, Spike Lee was spot on.
@@CandieP tyratanae1990@gmail.com ❤️ I’m always down for that! 🗣Send It On like D’Angelo !
@@StruggleReviewzTV hahaha! I got you sis. And you better sing the heck outta Jane Toussaint’s song 🎤 too. 😂
Robin Harris is comedy’s biggest what if. Spike Lee said the cast would come in on their day off just to see Robin Harris tell jokes.
This alongside Devil in a Blue Dress and The Mighty Quinn are definitely some of Denzel’s most underrated, under appreciated roles.
this movie is when I fell in love with Denzel Washington
I fell in love with Denzel when I first saw this movie ❤😮and I was 6 maybe! I told my dad I love him! And dad giggled and said when u a grown woman u wont be thinking about him
Same with me. There was no Jazz played in the Household when I was a kid. Thanks to this Movie and Hip Hop Groups like Gangstarr and Tribe Called Quest. I was able to get into it.
Exactly!!! ❤️
Same with me.
I always thought Bleek SAW them taking Giant into the alley BUT he wouldn't stop his music ....even to save his friend...he played it as fast as he could....but wasnt going to stop
yeah he saw and heard him. he looked squared in his direction. Bleek had warned Giant a beating was coming and that was the day.
I love this Movie, Shout out to Shadow for being the Biggest hater in the world.
😂🤣 not in the world!
Bleek knew Indigo would be right there waiting on him, I would've left him right outside in the rain! There's no way you go from community D to husband material that fast. Plus he was unemployed! Nope you stand right outside in the rain and think about what you've done!
It wasn't that fast and he learned his lesson. He had nobody else to turn to
Hunti, You didn't mentioned a "WET" Denzel walking in the rain. Whew Chile!!!😂😂😂 I have to give it to Indigo. She put up a valiant fight for a good "minute." Even though it's Bleek, at the end of the day it is still Denzel. It's hard to resist all that swagger. Big Ups to Spike!!
Ohhhh yeaaaaah baby looked good in that grey coat! 🤣
@@StruggleReviewzTV lol
Dressing Room scene was Classic. " I got a Chinese Girl, She can Cook too" 🤣🤣🤣
RESPECT YA SELFFFF! 😂🤣
I really think this would do great in a play format, because 90% of the play takes place in either the bedroom, the dressing room, or the stage.
I saw this movie when I was a little girl. (My parents did great by me clearly lol) and that scene where Spike got beat up scarred me. To this day I can’t watch that scene. Love this movie, great review as always!
Thank You❤️💕 Great Parents for sure!!!
I really think that the goons beating Bleek with his horn 🎺 is kind of like getting jumped by the woman you love. 😪
I saw this movie when i was a kid as well.
The music in this movie was everything!!!!
It’s a really cool movie, & love the music. Still feel Indigo had the same weakness at the end as Angela from Boomerang. Loved your review as always. Much respect to you 👍👍
Thank you ❤️
A film! Le cinema! This is so wonderful. Clark and Shadow gave me life !
This is one of my favorite movies and I’m glad you reviewed it!!! Bleek got a bad rep in this movie, but he laid it out. I understand both women being upset when being called the wrong name, but they could have just chilled… Also, he had communication issues, and put up his defenses easily. Lastly, he wasn’t wrong, Clarke couldn’t sing… Yeah I said it😂
I love this movie....but What I hate about this movie....to some degree... I feel you're supposed to see Bleek as an destroyed by his obsession and self indulgence of his career and art etc
But what ruined him was not cutting off his dumb ass, gambling junkie friend Giant. Other than that....he was holding it all together just fine. To me....the moral was
..don't let your worthless ass friends ruin your life. Him juggling the two women...he was handling that fine and could of got two more when he was done with them.. buy Giant is what f'd him up
Loved your movie review channel and you look gorgeous. I love you and love the way how you are expressing scenes from pieces by piece of characters' motivations in their symbolism. The synopsis you had express about the movie has giving me the feelings. Keep doing what you're doing. ❤️💕💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Shadow..........is just that Bleeks' shadow 👤 and if you notice... he has to have everything he has the band that he ends up playing with is his band, the woman he ends up with & the lead singer of said band is Clarke who we all know is Bleeks' woman.
Why do Black people do that to one another?
"Canty Canty... Same Same"
If I actually despise someone, the last thing that you would ever see me doing is trying to be or look anything like them.
Case in point, I was forced to sue a racist plant president for a lot reasons; hiring and firing based on race, unequal pay and lack of promotion, misuse of company expense accounts etc etc etc.
One day, long before filing my complaints I saw him in the front lobby coming out of the conference room wearing a charcoal grey suit with a mint green dress shirt.
Looked really good!
I have close to 30 different color dress shirts to choose from to wear with my suits, thanks in part to that lawsuit.
Guess which color that I didn't buy?
This and School Daze are my favorite Spike Lee joints! My favorite Director
I used to watch this movie all the time. I still love ❤️ it. You should review Soul Food next.
The voice change at the beginning is sending me 😂😂😂
😂🤣 Gotta be doing dramatic
Love this! Spike Lee is my favorite director!!!! Please review Crooklyn. That’s my fav from him. I’ll will be right here with you reciting all the words and singing all the songs.
🗣TROY BOYYYYYYY! 😂💕
@@StruggleReviewzTV period 💁🏾♀️
QUEENIE!!!!
@@seanmcclanahan9366 😭 Baby that couch took me and Queenie out!
No Mention that his dad was also Diamond's Dad and aka Pretty Tony from THE MACK
RIP....he died in 2012. 💐💐💐
I really think Bleek Gilliam is my favorite fictional Denzel Washington character. When I say he made me wanna master the 🎺...... I really think he's married to his horn and both [ Clarke & Indigo ] are his sidechicks.
Thanks for the review on another hidden gem 💎. Keep these reviews coming.
Great review, I had to rewatch Mo Better Blues again, great film from Spike Lee, also Halle Berry was suspose to play Clarke Bentancourt and it could have been her first film but she turned down the role because of the love scenes
The love scene here are really tamed compared to what she’s done now but I understand 😂
@@StruggleReviewzTV 😂 true
Naaaaaaw......I like the actress who played Clarke, she kind of reminds me of Ronnie from The Players Club 🤔
@@dowardwashington9958 She appeared on an episode of New York Undercover & she was in Caught Up.
Love this channel so much ❤️❤️
Thank you I appreciate it ❤️
Fun fact: Cynda Williams was dating Wesley Snipes during the making of this movie. Spike’s first scene he shot was the sex scene with Clark & Shadow to get it out the way…
This album had some of the smoothest songs ever..
But they left off that beautiful opening theme by Bill Lee & The Natural Spiritual Orchestra, or was in an early Terence Blanchard chart and arrangement?
In those days, I had never ever cried in a movie... nevAH!!
But man, I had to hold back the tears during that opening sequence and title.
I was on the first date with this woman that I was probably going to be seeing for a long time every morning on our commute on the train even if we didn't hit it off.
I was so disappointed not to find the opening title on either the audio cassette nor the compact disc.
I love your movie choice's. Can't wait for School Daze review! Could you please consider reviewing The movie/ book Their Eyes Were Watching God and/ or Disappearing Acts?
Thank you and I’ve been meaning to touch on Disappearing Acts!
Disappearing Acts is up! I hope you enjoy the video ❤️
One small detail but why was young Bleek in the house fully dressed only to be forced to practice with no intent of letting him go outside??? That mother was evil and his father was a simp for not putting his foot down.
Love your reviews. Can you review Mississippi Masala? (another Denzel Washington movie). The romance between him and the Indian girl had a very interesting dynamic.
That was a great movie!
Do a review on School Daze. I would love to see that. That’s my best favorite Spike Lee film.
Kind of Blue ahhhhh
RIGGGGGHT!!! I’m just here for the jazz honestly ❤️
Beautiful review! Love this film
Thank You ! ❤️🥰
This my top 5 denzel movie

Superb movie review, this one my favorite Spike Lee Joints along with Clockers.
Oh y’all want me rap the INTRO to review CLOCKERS! I will turn into Chubb Rock real quick! 😂
Straight up!! 😂 😂
The music is the difference between this being an okay movie and a good movie. The plot was interesting. The acting was good. It just felt like something was missing.
When I first saw this, I thought Shadow was a snake. For some reason it felt like Shadow was jealous of Bleek and he went behind his back and took his girl and his band. Watching it recently, Shadow was a real one. He was really trying to look out for everybody. Even though he was dirty macking, he told Clarke the truth and he didn't go behind Bleek's back. He was pretty much letting him know what it was and Bleek pretty much gave him permission to go at her.
Yes ! Same here….. it something special about revisiting movies ❤️
Lighting looks like the Same Lighting that James Bond 3rd used in Def By Temptation
, dang
The best part too me is the two dealer F up the two friends in the back of the club because of the money that spike lee owe and the whole jazz group was in the dressing room talking about the picture or the sister that they put up on the mirror and laughing at the another friend about the show bunny 🐰 that he was dating and the chick bite his lip and got mad
But the entire ending I didn’t like and they should’ve made him play the trumpet 🎺 again
This movie was ok 👌 but too me the best spike lee joint that he did is Malcolm X and that it because he got hit and miss after that
@@robyngreen537 Malcolm X is Superb !
My goal is to be a filmmaker & I love Spike but I just gotta say one thing. Ain't no way in Hell would I even consider directing naked sex scenes starring my own sister. Blood sister at that. I still don't know how he thought that would be ok unless he had someone else do it & took the credit.
Wesley AND Denzel!!! It should've been fire!!!!! So, why wasn't it? Something felt off, something was missing.....🤷🏽♀️
😂😂
Love your reviews lol.. but yeah, you were definitely hating on Clark... she wasn't overacting, she was a dramatic and attention seeking woman... that's the character... she wanted to be the bands lead singer for a reason, remember?
And you know everytime she fucked Bleak, she wanted to make sure it was wayyy better than what Indigo did. Lol those lil extra things help alottt in that category 🥴🤣
Indigo was a pickmesha
This movie is a convoluted mess. 3 different plots\stories going on at the same time.
