The Pitters' Place

Just, like, watch it.

Last time I saw a critically acclaimed but audience-hated movie, I was bored out of my mind. So, convince me.

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.

I think I'd rather just watch Zootopia again, even though their bit on prejudice is probably oversimplified. But I'll consider if for Netflix/redbox.
