Spike Lee a Toronto
Senza i due coproduttori italiani Luigi Musini e Roberto Cicutto questo progetto sarebbe rimasto solo nei miei sogni ed è per questo che li ringrazio. E Spike Lee che parla allaffollatissima conferenza stampa per lanteprima mondiale di Miracle at St. Anna al 33° Festival di Toronto. Scarpe da ginnastica, pantaloni chiari t shirt bianca e rossa con qualche tocco di nero pro Obama e pullover scuro perché qui a Toronto la temperatura esterna vira al freschetto con brio mentre quella degli hotel è decisamente. incondizionata.

Spike Lee miracle film
New Spike Lee film has just come out, presented at Deauville film festival (France), yesterday. The title is “Miracle at St.Anna”, and it’s the story of “Buffalo soldiers”, Us army division formed by all afroamericans, trying to set Italy free, during the second world war. Definitely, Spike Lee aims to put afroamerican contribution in that war into evidence, differently from Clint Eastwood, whose film “Ietters from Iwo Jima” didn’t include any black soldier.
The film, produced by Spike Lee and Rai cinema ( Italian State Tv), is an opportunity to underline the important role of afroamerican soldiers in the second world war, although Hollywood has considered only one: Jim Brown ( former football champion) in “The dirty dozen”.

Spike Lee: "Il futuro del cinema è la Rete"
"Il cinema, così come lo conosciamo, è sul viale del tramonto. Anche quello indipendente mostra tutta la sua arretratezza rispetto all'effetto dirompente della Rete. I film, così come siamo abituati a viverli oggi, sono destinati a cambiare radicalmente". E' il più celebre regista afroamericano - e sceneggiatore, attore e produttore cinematografico - fra i più apprezzati per il coraggio di affrontare con realismo temi politici e sociali, dal razzismo all'emarginazione alla violenza. Ha appena presentato, al festival di Toronto, il suo ultimo, atteso film, Miracolo a Sant'Anna, un tributo - come lui stesso l'ha definito - ai soldati afroamericani che combatterono per la Liberazione, e a un episodio terribile della seconda guerra mondiale, l'eccidio di Stazzema nel 1944. "Il cinema, così come lo conosciamo, è sul viale del tramonto. Anche quello indipendente mostra tutta la sua arretratezza rispett... more

African-Americans at Iwo Jima, just for Clint Eastwood ...
I know that a lot of people think Spike Lee is being a racist. I believe he just wants us all to be more accurate in telling the history of America and make it more inclusive of the people who served and died for this country. That meaning representation of not only African Americans, latins, and Native Americans that served us courageously and lost their lives.

Spike Lee calls out Coens for disrespecting life
Spike was in Cannes promoting his new film, The Miracle at St. Anna, when he brought up his portrayal of death in the World War II drama:
"I always treat life and death with respect, but most people don't," Lee said at a news conference Tuesday. "Look, I love the Coen brothers; we all studied at NYU. But they treat life like a joke. Ha ha ha. A joke. It's like, 'Look how they killed that guy! Look how blood squirts out the side of his head!' I see things different than that."
I'm a fan of Lee's work, and I'm a fan of the Coens as well, and while they have been known to get a little slapsticky with death (I'm thinking the Wheezy Joe death scene in Intolerable Cruelty), the context of the film should really be called into perspective here.
Perhaps it's better to simply say that Spike tends to make films of a more serious note, where as the Coens dabble in comedy from time to time. I would love to discuss the treatment of life and death in a film like No Country for Old Men with Spike. That entire film was an allegory for death and mortality.
