Spike Lee Vs. Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood told Spike Lee to “shut his face” recently after Lee made a comment about the lack of black actors in Eastwood’s films. Some of Eastwood’s films include ‘Letters From Iwo Jima’ and ‘Flags Of Our Fathers’ and Lee is noted for directing ‘Malcolm X’, among many others. Lee complained that Eastwood did not include a single black actor in either of his 2006 films listed above.

Eastwood responded by explaining that the African-American troops who were at battle were not part of raising the flag in the famous picture. He said it would just not be accurate if he had included black actors in these films and people would think he lost his mind as a director.

Eastwood then concluded his statements at the Cannes International Film Festival by saying: “A guy like him [Lee] should shut his face.” Eastwood was promoting his new war film at Cannes titled ‘Miracle At St Anna’ about the all-black 92nd Buffalo Division which fought in World War II. Ironic. They’re both still badass in my book.
