Spike Lee: Using the Big Screen to Speak His Mind. Most issues that happen during everyday life are thrown in a closet and tucked away under a rug. People never want to talk about social and political issues, especially the controversial ones. But one filmmaker had a voice that needed to be heard so he put it on the big screen. Spike Lee is not afraid to speak his mind and tell people how he feels about different situations. That is what sets him apart form other filmmakers. Spike Lee has put the society of 1980’s issues in some of the most mind bowing movies. By doing this he has set the bar by making controversial movies, and by touching on topics that would normally be thrown in the closet, such as racism and interracial dating. Not only is Lee a film-maker, he is an actor, producer, and a writer. Spikes goal is to bring racial issues to light and make sure that they are not being tucked underneath the rug.
