“One of Lee’s Best” I once heard on a TV talk show that you don’t have to be a parent to know about kids. This was uttered by a single female with tons of doctorate credentials. As I listened, having kids of my own, I found her comments clinical and devoid of those fundamentals any parent experiences during daily contact with their offspring. I subsequently disregarded most of her observations with the exception of the obvious. Some things do have to be experienced.

Excellent Movie
Viewing this movie for the first time at age 10, I did not fully understand what the movie or what the words “Please Wake Up” meant. I thought it was just about dancing and music. As I got older I totally understood what it meant. I feel that we as a community do not embrace each other. Instead we constantly disrespect each other and judge with out knowing. It’s really sad that things really have not changed that much. I am glad that Spike Lee brought it to the light what most thought was in the dark.
