thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Steve D Deep and beautifully written. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Spike Lee presents a tale of discovery and self-learning During the Million Man March in Washington DC 12 African American men board a shuttle to take part But first they have to break down what makes them a part of the black identity while also confronting their own issues Although the group begins the trip as strangers, their shared stories and experiences unite them as their discourse builds a portrait of what it means to be black in America Amazing cast comprised of Andre Braugher, Ossie Davis, Charles S. Dutton, Hill Harper, Isaiah Washington, Richard Belzer, Wendell Pierce, Bernie Mac, and Harry Lennix Each passenger has their own take on the topic of race, identity, language, destination, gender, manhood, crime This appears like a documentary yet is a big dramatization of urgent sociopolitical themes The director himself doesn't have to be in this to make the messages clear Is there such thing as atonement? Even though slavery is gone is it really over? What makes black black? Is one community supposed to fix everything that has happened in our history? Who do we have to blame for all the oppression, denigration, and suffering? Why leave out the female influence during a struggle for equality? It's important everyone should have a voice being a part of the same group man or woman Terrific actors making these men confront one another putting their issues on the table when it comes to masculinity, racism, discrimination, their roots, linguistics, homophobia, sexual preference, their portrayal in the media, law enforcement, and where they stand A movement is one thing but the real march in life has yet to begin to stop crime, start loving, and being better, we have got a lot of work to do Spike Lee makes one of his best, finest, and most honest flicks in his filmography The issues from back then are still present today holding so much relevancy Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member While it's preachy and schmaltzy, it's also evocative. Dreamy, trippy cinematography to support a story mostly set on a bus. Theatricality compensates stagnation; it's supposed to feel stagey. If it were realism, it'd be boring. Lots of interesting techniques employed here. Brilliant circumstances. Multidimensional; so many perspectives and ideologies represented. Ultimately, a film about unity. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I wanna see this movie over and over again I love it Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Here Spike Lee tackles black history as always, but this time presents more rounded arguments and opinions.
