It's Spike Lee at his best. Fuck-whitey blackness at its best. Poetry at its best. He took an ancient Greek play about oppression and feminism and spun it to fit modern-day Chicago violence and police brutality. The whole script rhymes, if you can stomach it. I love it. It's important, raw, sad, good, everything. Angela Bassett, John Cusack, Sam Jackson, Nick Cannon, and one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen called Teyonah Parris star. I mean, it's a brilliant commentary on black-on-black violence in the hood and white-on-black violence in the mayor's office. If you're into that kind of thing, then watch it. Surely you have two hours to spare.
The agonies which are have their origin in the ecstasies which might have been.
