Da Sweet Blood of Jesus [Blu-ray] - Horror Comedy Film by Spike Lee - Perfect for Movie Nights & Halloween Parties

The first thing that struck me about this flick is how visually titillating it is. It is truly a delicious piece of cinema. The fact that it was shot in 16 days, a comparable feat that marred Red Hook Summer, shows Spike's continued mastery of his craft. The depiction of very human naked black bodies is also striking, and stands as a direct contrast to the overexposed hyper sexual and superhuman depictions that permate hip hop videos, sports, and other sensationalized media. The concepts of addictions, bloodsuckers, and post racial (should really be NEW racial cause race isn't going anywhere anytime soon) identity exploration are delivered like a coffee table piece sure to inspire conversation and engagement without dominating the participants with any clear conclusions. I've never seen the original so apologies if I've missed some of the connections. Still, I did purchase Ganja & Hess similar to the way hip hip used to create awareness and appreciation for jazz, soul, funk and r&b legends of the past. I must also add as a spoiler, that the same before mentioned growth shown from Red Hook Summer is also achieved from the sexuality explored in "she hate me".
