Spike Lee holds nothing back
Through his cinematic eye, Spike Lee saw Hurricane Katrina as more than a natural disaster.
For the provocative filmmaker, the great storm left in its trail of devastation a reckoning, a harrowing example of man's inhumanity to man.
His lens exposed an indifferent, ineffective government that ignored helpless people even as bloated corpses floated down flooded streets.
Lee courageously captures those grim pictures and more in his epic, four-hour documentary, when the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, which HBO will televise in two parts.
"Somebody needs to go to jail," Lee said last week via telephone from New Orleans, where he hosted a premiere of the film that drew more than 7,000 people. "When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built those levees 40 years ago, they knew they couldn't withstand [a Category 5 hurricane]. They knew the people wouldn't be protected."
What an ASSHAT. Everyone knew it. What can withstand a CAT 5? Just one question dumb ass. Why the hell did the fools not pull their heads out their ass and leave?
They (the fools in New Orleans) PLOPD' up and now it's all our fault. Kiss my you know what. I saw what happened to Mississippi and they are not cryn' like a bunch of school girls. Get off you ass and fix it yourself's and stop cryn'. K?
“I am on the dirt frontage road to the internet thingy”
Take it slow and keep your head up. That way you can see the bullshit coming.
And don’t waste my time calling me a racist, cause I aren’t. So there!
