So I stumbled upon Jungle Fever about halfway through yesterday. For those that don't know about Jungle Fever the movie, first, go to the corner, sit indian style facing me, and listen. It is a Spike Lee Joint (so you know its kinda wacked out)and about a black dude played Wesley "taxes what taxes?" Snipes having an extramarital and interacial affair with an italian woman and the craziness that ensues. A side story is Wesley's brother played expertly by Samuel L "snakes on a plane" Jackson is a crackhead. So the clip I will post at the end is titled "Gator's last dance" where..well you'll have to see it for yourself. Anyways, nowadays I don't think the content of Jungle Fever is so adamant today, at least i'd like to think so. Sure some people have the thoughts in their heads and conversations in their living rooms amongst their peers that took place in the movie, but speaking and acting out on interracial dating is so old. I mean come on already it's 2-00-9. Or maybe I am naive and interracial coupling still bother people, either way, sorry for ya, get over it, we're all the same color on the inside (eww but true). Alright enough with me trying to sound intelligent here is the clip that Sammy should have gotten an Oscar for.
PS: Stevie Wonder did the whole soundtrack and many of his songs were used throughout the movie brilliantly in my opinion, check out the song "Feeding off the Love of the Land" performed by Stevie, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
