Nola Darling

January 22, 2010

Just finished watching She’s Gotta Have It. There hasnt been one Spike Lee Joint that I wouldnt watch over and over and over again.

Here’s my favorite part of the movie.
The only scene in the movie thats actually in color. The rest of the film is in black and white.


Nola-Vocals

There is one part of the film where Jamie Overstreet was catching the train to Nola Darling’s apartment. Instead of filming Jamie actually riding the train, Spike Lee used a series of blurred high contrast still frames of with jazz in the background. It was brilliant.

What I loved most about She’s Gotta Have It is the characters are depicted as intelligent and somewhat upscale ubanites and the beauty it brought to the borough of Brooklyn. As a female the overall message had me captured.
