Just diferent. If anything, Lee is out of his comfort zone with this film. If you were to compare Gran Torino or J. Edgar to Do The Right Thing or Crooklyn, Lee comes out on top. I understand your comparison of two WWII movies by these directors. But this doesn't represent either director's best work.

I normally like Lee's films and don't mind that he usually has an agenda. This is just not a good film and definitely is a missed opportunity. Also, there is no way Lee is as good a director as Eastwood.the war movie buffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201660899514011402.post-24292292667908923142011-09-01T06:44:02.496-05:002011-09-01T06:44:02.496-05:00I thought it was interesting while I was watching ...I thought it was interesting while I was watching it but when it was over, the only thing I could say was "Oh brother!"

That would be silly. Just because Lee has a problem with Eastwood doesn't mean their movies should be compared. I'd rather compare it to the The Fallen, if anything. The end of MIracle at St.Anna is very, very bad. I enjoyed a lot of the rest and did never for one second doubt that they were treated better in Italy than back home. <br />I need to add though, even though I didn't compare them, I did not like Flags of Our Fathers which would mean I prefer Miracle. <br />I ike Spike Lee as a director in general. I think whnever you don't like a director you tend to pick on details. But I agree, the end is a WTF moment.allaboutwarmovieshttp://allaboutwarmovies.comnoreply@blogger.com
