In spite of the differences of opinion on Spike Lee, the fact remains that before he undertook this movie, the book of the same title peeped it’s way into our hearts before it went to film last year. I never forgot the story of the little boy displaced by war and the African American soldiers who tried to keep him; It made me laugh, mostly made me sad, some scenes are brutal, but in the end you can’t help but applaud it. I really feel this is one of Spike’s best.
