About this product

Product Information

Spike Lee turns up the controversy notch once again with BAMBOOZLED, a sizzling satire on race and racism within the modern media world. Harvard-educated writer Pierre Delacroix (Damon Wayans), the only black employee on the staff of a struggling television network, suggests the most absurd idea for a pilot that he can possibly imagine, hoping it will convince his tyrannical boss, Dunwitty (Michael Rapaport), to terminate his contract and fire him. However, his plan backfires and his idea--MANTAN THE NEW MILLENNIUM MINSTREL SHOW--finds great success. The show is a stereotypical and racially charged depiction of the tap-dancing Mantan (Savion Glover) and Sleep 'n' Eat (Tommy Davidson), two lazy, homeless black men who spend their days in a watermelon patch. As the show becomes a national sensation, Delacroix, his assistant Sloan Hopkins (Jada Pinkett), as well as her older brother, aspiring rapper Big Black Af' (Mos Def), begin to see the harm the show is causing the community, triggering outbursts with deadly consequences. Shot on digital video, Lee uses his basic premise to mock and accuse today's entertainers (including Chris Rock, Ving Rhames, gangsta rappers, and Lee himself) for being modern reincarnations of the stereotypical caricatures that were so offensive in the past. The result is a biting commentary that is at turns hysterical, absurd, and poignant.

    Spike Lee's irony

    A satiric take on blackface used to create a program that would inflame/excite, boost a network's ratings. Though I did not buy it for the sardonic wit, it was used in a class to show the damaging images that were only used by white actors for an audience bent on relishing stereotypical depictions of blacks.

  • Spike Lee's Best Film!

    In an analogous way, this movie gives new meaning to 'film noir.' Spike Lee's Best Film! I've read all the comments here, pro & con and everyone has a good point to make. I can't believe that no one has mentioned the short film montage Lee inserts of all the stereotypical ads & cartoons of blacks down the years. It really made me sad & hit a hole in my heart for what some people thought (and some still do) was funny. Thank God it's difficult to find these things on the Internet and in print anymore. The New York Times is to be congratulated for extending 1st amendment rights (huh?) to Spike Lee in it's advertising denial for this movie. I'm wondering if they asked for a revamped ad to replace the one submitted at the time. Thank you for ...

  • A wonderfully, dreadfully uncomfortable movie

    This may be the most disturbing movie made by Spike Lee. It is discomforting from start to finish, and I have the feeling that that is just what Mr. Lee had in mind. I am a middle aged white male, born into the social privilege which that implies, and I am appalled by the familiarity I have with many of the racist stereotypes this movie uses as humor (within the context of the television show which is the subject of the film.) The unabashed exploration into which the movie goes of long-held racist imagery, extending back to the earliest days of Hollywood, and continuing to this day is chilling and gut-wrenching. Yet, as unnerving as I find the film, it is an important statement about the way we portray African-Americans in film and on television, and also about the way the ...
