"28 years of producing powerful films that tackle controversial social and political issues like racism and urban crime left me a tense and embittered man who wasn't even capable of cracking a smile," Mr. Lee told reporters while getting his hair did at the Sassy Salon on the corner of Crenshaw and Slauson. "But dressing up as a black woman and acting a fool has helped me finally release all that tension and just let loose."
The film was originally intended to be a fictional tale about an urban black family, but Mr. Lee enjoyed dressing up so much that he decided to turn it into a documentary about his experiences as a black woman instead. And he's already begun working on the sequel, 'For Colored Men Who Need To Lighten Up.'
Mr. Lee later added, "You know, if I would have known that acting a fool feels so refreshing to the soul, I would have started engaging in 'coonery' a long time ago!"
Moral of the story: Spike Lee needs to lighten up and stop accusing everybody else of being a 'coon.' Who does he think he is-Trey Parker and Matt Stone?
