Is spike lee right about TP or doesnt he need to shut his PIE hole

 

Spike Lee and Tyler Perry have different approaches and different audiences. I happen to enjoy both of their artistic skills and venues. I think Lee is just mad because Tyler Perry has been getting a lot of attention from all of his successful plays and movies from the media. It happens in the industry when it comes to people of such grand schemes.

 

Tyler Perry is not anywhere near Spike lee's Echelon ok? most of this Madea shit may be funny and shit and reminds you of your dysfunctional family with the crazy uncle and fighting aunts, but if you watch it critically, the acting is crap sometimes and doesnt make sense sometimes

 

Although I fall squarely in the Spike camp, the whole angry loudmouth thing died out in the '80s. I didn't agree when Spike criticized Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood, either.

These days it's all about product and commercialism. Spike needs to make more popcorn flicks like Inside Man (which was Spike's and Denzel's best opening weekend movie ever) and spend less time talking shit in the press.

Spike's got cred with A-list Hollywood that Tyler can only dream of. Let me know when Edward Norton (25th Hour), Adrien Brody (Summer of Sam), Sam Jackson (Jungle Fever), Lawrence Fishburne (School Daze), Madonna (Girl 6), or Denzel himself stars in a Tyler Perry movie.

 

You're "correct". They really can't be compared in any way, shape or form. They take different approaches to their movies and styles. Perry's movies tend to cater to the black female audience, but he does have non-blacks watching his stuff as well, so it's all about personal interests.

Spike Lee is more gritty and upfront with his movies and his themes are often more centered on grand power struggles where the less than powerful individual overcome the obstacles and often times leads us with some
open endedness, and let the audience decide who are the bad guys and who are good guys. I've seen this through Inside Man and Jungle Fever, and other movies as well.

He's also a great documentarian. He did justice on the Hurricane Katrina incident with both documentaries and I commend him for bringing it to light for the public to see first hand what it was like with the storm.

 

I agree, there really is no comparison. That would be like saying Orson Welles was comparable to the Three Stooges. Tyler Perry's not my cup of tea, but to each his own. It takes all kinds to make the world go round, I guess.

 

I think people have the tendency to be blindsided by their own hatred towards someone. We're all guilty of that in some form or another.

 

Like that'll happen in this lifetime.

 

Spike Lee is an 'artist'.

Tyler Perry is a 'pimp'.

 

Spike is 100% right, he says it best in this clip.

BWise that is true. Unless Spike can get a good movie that can bring patrons like Perry,he's just shooting his mouth

 

All Tyler Perry has to do is make a film about a black man doing a black woman wrong and he has an audience ready and waiting for it.

All his works seem to follow the same monotonous trend. I personally can't stand the mofo.

 

Well said, rep added.

 

Thank you bro, that dude wasn't exactly rocket science to figure out. He found a niche and has made millions off that shit.

 

Spike Lee's suggestion is that, "we could do better". There's no denying that Tyler Perry's formulaic movies are financial successful and have some crossover appeal as well. But, minstrel shows, with black casts were very popular as well, and had huge white audiences. Spike, whether correctly or not, is focusing on imagery. He's challenging whether, given the limited images of African Americans in the media, one of the few black filmmakers shouldn't be advancing a more positive or enlightening view of African Americans.

It's an argument of form over substance. In the end people will decide what films they want to support. I don't think that Spike is jealous, but perhaps disappointed that people still find these images such a source of entertainment.

Personally, I don't like Tyler Perry's approach to his art, and I have never watched any of it, on television or at the movies. However, I respect the decisions of those who choose his art as entertaining.

 

I really wish he'd stop making movies.

 

He will if dumbasses stop viewing them

 

That is not gonna happen i'm afraid

 

Perry caters to Black women pure and simple. I've seen them when I came to see his latest movie. He is not stopping any time soon. I'm going to see T.D.Jakes' flick Jumping the Broom tonight. I doubt he would have the Perry crowd however.

 

T.D Jakes is doing a movie? i hope he does well i like his preaching cuz he pulls no punches.
