Ask Spike Lee

Hey spike what do you think about Lebron leaving the court after the eastern conference final without shaking opponents hands. Do you think is classless or just a young man letting emotions dictate his reactions?

After so many movies and so many stories, what keeps you going?

what do you think made you good director and what advice would you give to young filmakers

What was the first big indication that you received that made you believe that you were going to be a great director?

Has there ever been a topic that you wanted to make into a movie but did not,because of certain constraints?

Which is more disturbing? The destruction on one's property or the ending of one's life? Do people still ask you "Why did Mookie throw the garbage can through the window?" in one way or another?

As a Morehouse Man (class of 2000), you have always been an acessible point of inspiration as an accomplished director and businessman. You have been in the film business for some time now, as you have progressed in your development as a director and businessman, where have you drawn your inspiration from? What excites Spike Lee to the point of admiration?

What sparked your interest in filmmaking? Which film directors are you most inspired by? And which was your most challenging film to make?

How did you react when Barack Obama was elected president? What are your hopes for his Administration in the area of lessening racial tension in our society?

What should the black community and the Obama Administration do to save thousands of Radio Rahims on the streets of America?

It seems directors are always fighting with each other. You guys are worse than chefs. Why?

Were the levees blown up?

I enjoy your work, especially Malcolm X. Is there any other historical African-American fiqure or group whose story you desire to portray in film?

Hello Mister Lee, as an aspiring young film maker with a mixed race background I'm struggling to get the message of being different and colored across without getting fingers pointed at me implicating I am the narrow minded person. So my question for You would be where do You find the strength to pull through all the discussions that come along with such emotional topics and how do You find the balance between telling Your story but listening to the other side too? I'm looking forward to Your answer and for more insights into race relations from Your point of view. Thanks Michael

Are you still angry ?

greetings spike,
what impact would you say your master piece,"do the right thing" has had on american life and our inner personal race relations? and more specifically africans born in america, relating to each other? on all levels, from the heart.or just when will we get the big picture?,us earthlings?
i write to encourage peace on our planet and i honor all your work,sir. i have seen miracle at st.anna countlessly.
much peace to you

"Do the right thing" change my life, I was 12 when it hit theaters in my small town in the south of France. We were in a totaly different world, and US was very far away... I'm not even black, living between arabics, gipsies, spanish, and french natives, in social and racial tensions... I've dreamed to be this guy Mookie during all my childhood.
...
Do you sometime stop, and think at this guy that is now 32, haunted by your pictures and stories and the incredible impact that your movies have had on the global imaginery, and if you do, how it is ?

What is your background as a young person growing up? Were you taught to "Do The Right Thing", or were you taught racismn against the whites? I don't know the entire situation that occurred with you and Clint Eastwood but apparently it was over the issue of white and black. This country is in enough trouble with the world, we don't need to create more with racial issues. If we can't get along with each other then we surely can't get along with other countries that are just waiting to take the USA down. Spike, put out a movie that embraces the whites and blacks, there is enough hatered in the world and we don't need anymore. Git er done Spike

You have given a lot of A list African American actors their pathway to stardom, yet the only A list actor that seems to remember that and return to do work with you is Denzel Washington. Does that anger you?

When is you next movie and what is the topic ?

Would you describe yourself as a role model for the young African American and what is your candid view on the legalisation of illegal immigrants in the United States?

Whatever happened to the actress who played the female love interest in "Girl's Got To Have It?"

hey i wanna ask about malaysia can u plx lemme know about malaysia kuala lumpur espicially sir and also temme the property ....flats and is residential visaa.??? plx lemme know sir:)

Where did you get the name "Spike" from?

In the past you've made some controversial comments. Do you regret making any of them?

I remember when "Driving Miss Daisy" won Best Picture in 1989 you said that it hurt you more that the film won the award more than your film "Do the Right Thing" not winning at all. What did you mean by that?
