MO' BETTER BLUES
Manage episode 485484053 series 3586720
The shifting responsibilities of a Dad are similar to those of an artist: are we beholden to our audience/offspring? Or is our duty to our own secret compass, unknowable to all but our own secret Dad/artist heart, to become the finest version of ourselves and force the world to meet us where we exist?
Spike Lee - noted Dad and enjoyer of Dad pastimes (jazz, baseball, yelling at Reggie Miller) - asks these questions and more in his critically-acclaimed and elusive follow up to DO THE RIGHT THING.
This movie is full of Guys Dads Love: Giancarlo Esposito, Wesley Snipes, John Turturro, Charlie Murphy, and - featured proudly on the Dad Movie Mt. Rushmore - Denzel Washington.
Dig the Dads digging that crazy sound in a movie about jazz that's not really about jazz at all, 1990's MO' BETTER BLUES.
