He has yet to make a good movie. And his next movie sure as hell won't be it.

his last flicks have been shit, but he's made some fine films.

I can count three good scenes in Shame? Good as in they are well-shot and interesting, make me forget I'm watching an edgy genre-flick masquerading as a Paul Schrader character study. The less said about 12 Months a Slave the better, what hot boring trash that was. Some of the worst pacing and music, boring TV-style cinematography, a decent performance from Fassbender couldn't save it.

Fuck off. Spike Lee is a fucking hack. He can't go 3 minutes without reminding everyone that he's a black filmmaker or trying to morally blackmail black people into liking his films.

>if you don't give my films good reviews you're racist

>>84822879
He still made good movies, leagues better than Steve McQueen

his antics don't take away from his work.

Disagree about Shame. That's his best, imo. Though Fassbender really carries the film.

It is his best but I really don't think it's great. I understand it has its fans but Fassbender's character is just a boring guy and doesn't really come across as "vulnerable". It was a mistake in casting him I think. For instance, the scene where he takes his boss back to his apartment to have sex with his sister: As it stands, the scene was totally unrealistic and would not happen in any real world scenario. But this is compounded by the fact that it's Michael Fassbender. Do you really expect a guy who looks like Michael Fassbender to do that? I couldn't believe it, I just laughed at the movie, and it never recovered from there.

And on a side note, every time someone on /tv/ mentions Shame, I think for a second they are talking about the far superior Bergman film with the same title, but then I realize they are talking about the trashy one instead and it makes me sad.

>Bergman
Anyone mentioning anything made before 1970 is a rare occurrence here anyway. Shit sucks.

Tbh I haven't seen Shame in a few years. I just remember being totally drawn in by Fassbender's character and performance. Maybe I'll revisit the movie soon.
