Title: One of the best films of the last quarter century
Review: Now that a few years have passed, it's far too easy to forget what a groundbreaking film this was. Simply put, this is great film making! Pay no attention to the naysayers. This film breaks barriers like we rarely ever get to see anymore and it's exciting to watch it multiple times because with each successive viewing you see how Lee is blazing trails for another generation of writers and directors to follow. From the use of the 'Greek' chorus to the incendiary ending to its honest and eloquent depiction of race relations in the crumbling infrastructure of the inner city, this film exceeds on so many levels, one truly marvels at it. Not many films have made me applaud in public for an absent film maker -- this is one of them.
