For almost 35 years, Spike Lee has chronicled black lives in his films – from love, friendships and family to racism and police brutality. The Oscar-winning director, 63, is well aware that real life doesn’t always have a happy ending – and neither should his art. “No, that’s some other guy’s movies,” he says.
As protests continue in America over the tragic deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd – the last two at the hands of the police – Lee’s films are now more poignant than ever. “They should be required viewing,” says actor Jonathan Majors, who stars in his new Netflix movie Da 5 Bloods. Lee’s 1989 film Do the Right Thing tells the story of a young black man in Brooklyn who is choked to death by a cop using excessive force. Anger, grief and protests ensue. “What we’re seeing today is not new,” Lee told CNN on May 31. “We’ve seen this again and again and again.” The next day he released the new short film 3 Brothers – Radio Raheem, Eric Garner and George Floyd, which linked footage of the death of his fictional Do the Right Thing character with the two real-life men killed by police. “Why are people rioting? Why are people doing this?” Lee asked. “Because people are fed up, and people are tired of the debasing, the killing of black bodies … People are reacting the way they feel they have to be heard.”
