Spike Lee Says He Won’t Go Back To The Cinema Until There Is A Coronavirus Vaccine

For a long time, Spike Lee has had his finger on the pulse of America. In 1992, he screened Malcolm X for studio execs on the same day that four white cops who brutally beat unarmed Black construction worker Rodney King were acquitted of assault.

You would think that Spike Lee wouldn’t have much trouble finding a studio to finance and distribute his films. After decades of films that have been nominated for all sorts of awards and coming off his first Oscar win, it would stand to reason that a filmmaker would have a line of studios hoping to work with him.

Donald Trump will “go down in history as the worst president of the United States of America.”Speaking in a new interview, the filmmaker admitted that he’s not certain the US president will be voted out in November, despite criticism of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and anti-racism protests.“Look, I’m not certain about anything,” Lee told GQ Hype. “How do we know he’s not going to try to rig the thing again?”“If this guy wins,” he continued, “the world is in peril.

Spike Lee is not impressed with U.S. President Donald Trump’s response to the Black Lives Matter and George Floyd protests across the nation.

Shortly after the video was released of George Floyd being killed by a police officer and protests began to rise up around the US, Spike Lee released a short clip editing together the videos of Floyd and Eric Garner being killed alongside a similar scene in the director’s own “Do The Right Thing,” asking the question, “When will history stop repeating itself?” In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, Lee talked about the connection between his 1989 acclaimed film and the recent racist

"He's trying to be a dictator"

«Will history stop repeating itself?» Spike Lee asks as much at the start of a minute-and-a-half-long short film he shared on Twitter, which splices clips from his 1989 film,, with footage of the police killings of Eric Garner in 2014 and George Floyd in May.

NEW YORK -- It's not the first time that Spike Lee's “Do the Right Thing” has been freshly urgent, but Lee's 1989 film has again found blistering relevance in the wake of George Floyd's death.

"Will history stop repeating itself?"

Spike Lee is a filmmaker that has never shied away from being outspoken and infusing his films with clear messages about society and the issues that plague the country.

Over 30 years later and “Do the Right Thing” still sadly rings true.
