I don't get it. Is it supposed to be a comedy, drama or some preachy social commentary? Also why the fuck is Amazon distributing this.
What's a Nubian?
the important thing is that even though it's a black director and black actors, it's bad somehow, and it's DEFINITELY the fault of the people running hollywood: the whites
Confused the fuck out of me. One second it looked like some kind of comedy then the next GUNZ R BAD because I guess they convince black people to shoot eachother?
>a spike lee joint
aren't black people completely offended by this?
>all black men can do is kill each other and fuck and if pussy is withheld they will stop killing each other because they are dumb apes
Aus bantz reminds of of pong.
>all those downvotes
>Lysistrata (/laJˈsJstrətə/ or /ˌlJsəˈstrɑːtə/; Attic Greek: Λυσιστράτη, "Army Disbander") is a comedy by Aristophanes. Originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BCE, it is a comic account of one woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War. Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes. The play is notable for being an early exposé of sexual relations in a male-dominated society. The dramatic structure represents a shift away from the conventions of Old Comedy, a trend typical of the author's career.[2] It was produced in the same year as the Thesmophoriazusae, another play with a focus on gender-based issues, just two years after Athens' catastrophic defeat in the Sicilian Expedition.
I'm actually interested.

Why are black people degrading themselves like this?

>Be black.
>Complain about cultural appropriation.
>Complain about the fact that blacks aren't given a voice in media.
>Complain about the fact that the white narrative is the only narrative being pushed.
>Become a director and finally get a chance to produce something original that sheds light on your people and their struggle as you see them.
>Proceed to steal from the Greeks in a really obvious way that's not only in poor taste, but also manages to insinuate that the only things that a black man cares about are pussy and guns. To, in essence, make out that they're worse than apes and need to undergo some adult form of toilet training in order to even stand a chance at being functioning members of society.
BRAVO SPIKE LEE BRAVO

Why is it in poor taste? Why is it stealing?

It's literally mentioned in the imdb text that it is based on the play.
I have no doubt that the movie is going to suck, but I see nothing wrong in doing an adaptation of a Greek play.
