Amazon Digital Services LLCIve seen a few of Spike Lees films but I believe this one to be overall his consistently best film from start to finish. I actually met him and got his autograph in 1. I was at Notre Dame when we actually had a very good football team and I remember that for some reason he was there wearing a Florida St jacket and I was walking past him after we had beaten their Charlie Ward led team which eventually went on to top the AP Poll a travesty as Notre Dame beat them and should have finished first and not second in that poll despite the Boston College game but I digress. He looks a lot smaller in real life but his directing talent is gigantic. Not since Gentlemans Agreement have I watched such an intelligent film that explores racism in its many nuances and levels and just as Gregory Pecks character went to great lengths to explain that toleration and passive discrimination is just as bad or even worse than blatant outright discrimination as it is just hypocrisy in that film, Spike Lee does the same with Aiellos character. In Gentlemens Agreement the best scene was when the late great John Garfield character tells the bewildered fiancee of Pecks character who says in effect shes not racist because some of her best friends are Jews that because she just sat and did or said nothing while her other racist friends are spouting racist remarks that in effect she was just as bad. Compare and contrast Aiellos character and that of his older and younger sons. When the older spouted his animals crack Aieollo did or said nothing to discourage him suggesting that he was a hypocritical closet racist himself while his younger son stood up several times to the elder brother even risking a beating telling him off whenever he said racist things. Although Raheem was out of line, the scene was important for the subsequent racist cursing Aiello was spouting while he was destroying the radio showing that Aiello was a hypocritical racist all the while and it also shows just how close to the surface it was Aiello the closet racist while his older son the openly racist with his youngest son the noble anti racist who makes an attempt to correct them with no success but not for want of trying. And to say that Aiellos character was innocent of Raheems death is ridiculous as it was Aiellos stubborn racism which precipitated the fight causing the arrival of the police.

I understand although I dont condone Mookies subsequent actions as he sees the ludicrousness of how the refusal of a simple, inexpensive, painless request leads to the complex, extremely costly and painful loss of life. Hd Quality Garfield Gets Real Watch But With OmnitrixTo say that Spike Lee was kinder to the Blacks and harsh on the Whites is ludicrous he made no attempts to sugar coat the behaviour of the 3 wise men bums who constantly talk about doing something but never do and yet one of them gets angry and racist against the Korean new immigrant who has the courage to actually do something. Mayor was chided by others in the neighbourhood for making excuses for his predicament instead of doing something about it. Even Mookie as the absentee irresponsible father isnt depicted or intended to be a role model. Lee I thought was very fair in showing the bad behaviour across all the races and characters that he projected. Just being tolerant is not enough and not the endgame but true acceptance and colour blindness is which is what this film tries to convey and I feel succeeds in doing. Being just tolerant is equivalent to a mentality of separate but equal which the American Civil Rights movement and Apartheid in the past has shown is a nontenable arrangement which is merely racism disguised. As Dr. Spencer Wells and others have shown in The Journey of Man A Genetic Odyssey and Journey of Man you cant tell anyones race from their DNA and so racism is a humansocial construct with no scientific basis or justification for superior genes.

No race has a monopoly on good genes while racism can and does ensure that only certain races have a monopoly on good education and good opportunities. This blu ray version is a bit of a mixed bag for while the special feature documentaries are extensive and good the picture quality isnt perfect and further restoration can be made for future releases while the sound quality is good enough. Great film classic with an excellent story and cast but with not so great picture quality makes this a mixed bag but still comes recommended for serious movie buffs who dont yet have this in their video library.
