Aww shit. Here
comes the return of the Wanna Be’s and
Jigaboo’s; Step shows…”Ice ice baby. Too
cold. Too cold.” And the word static!
In the Special Edition release of School
Daze, Spike first resurrects 'Larry'
Fishburne. And the beginning of his
[Lee’s] quest to release a film every
year.
Can we forget Lee’s dedication to
certain film tricks such as the close-up
where the actor talks directly to the
audience or the moving background and
still subject? And the endless
dedication and loyalty to the same
actors that have appeared in almost all
of Lee’s films minus the cast of A
Different World.
Was Spike sleeping with himself to get
the part? Apparent-Lee cause he casts
himself more times than I can bare to
count.
Spike it does not matter if you do not
have the starring role. You still seem
to find yourself, glorifying yourself.
Putting you in the spotlight. Damn.
Long gone are the days of films with a
message. That ended with The Wayans 96’
parody “Don’t Be a Menace to South
Central while drinking your Juice in the
Hood.” And thank goodness…it was made
obvious. Damn near pointing them out
with a finger.
If you don’t know, Black Colleges give
African Americans a chance to go to
school. But that comes with a price.
Even to date, they are considered party
schools. The birth place of Freak Nick.
And yes, the White Colleges have Spring
Break but Black Colleges can’t help but
be focused on for there party, stylish
dress type ways. And that is definitely
made evident in this film.
More importantly, Lee focuses on the
still evident issue of blacks vs.
blacks. The light vs. all other blacks
other than light.
Ok. Forget the message in this DVD
review. Back to the film.
So of course…you will be privy to scenes
as Tisha lickin’ her man’s hair part and
his sorority symbol burned skin. Yikes.
The Kentucky Fried Chicken confrontation
between Mission students and Samuel
Jackson & friends clad in 70s gear and
shower caps, “College don’t mean shit.
Ya’ll niggas. And ya’ll gone be niggas
just like us. Niggas”. And the one thing
all men want…the panties! The 2 amazons
in bathing suits starring at each other
from across a crowded dance floor. And
all of this to the theme music of EU’s
“Doin’ the Butt!”
Special features include the Director’s
Commentary, Cast Commentary, Three
Features and Music Videos which show my
all time favorite “Be Alone” w/Tisha on
stage along side Jasmine Guy and others.
That weave is gangsta Tisha!
Please…Wake up!
