Just watched this for the first time. Thoughts?

I own it because of the 100 years of universal box set but never watch it. Is it any good?
Pretty morally ambiguous, unnecessarily so. Spike Lee didn't come across as courageous enough to take a firm position with what he was trying to say and it's a film that makes its morality the centerpiece with its title and political references and themes.

The best scene is when Sal is cleaning up the ruins of the restaurant. Spike Lee thinks that scene shows that Sal is a racist.
He clearly doesn't understand his own work! Sad!

For a film about race relations in Brooklyn in the 1980s, it didn't mention Jews once.
Shocking.
Fuck this movie and fuck niggers

>After the 1990 release of Mo' Better Blues, Lee was accused of antisemitism by the Anti-Defamation League and several film critics. They criticized the characters of the club owners Josh and Moe Flatbush, described as "Shylocks". Lee denied the charge, explaining that he wrote those characters in order to depict how black artists struggled against exploitation. He said he could not make an antisemitic film because Jews run Hollywood, and "that's a fact".[11]

I have no idea what the purpose of Smiley's character was. Or many of the characters. Sometimes they added some nice accents for the film in building the world, but at the same time this felt like it could have been edited down by at least 20 minutes and not lost anything.
