Kousac, Spike Lee's films are neither G-rated nor considered to be children's fare.<br /><br />I still think <i>SotS</i>'s problem is that it's considered a "kiddie film" here in the States, so it's held to a higher standard than <i>Gone with the Wind</i> or Spike Lee's films.Celshaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835531857425033524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-78970252453927621512014-10-07T19:13:52.806-07:002014-10-07T19:13:52.806-07:00spike lee made a LOT of racist films--most of them...spike lee made a LOT of racist films--most of them flops, of course.

Just wanted to note that more and more often, it's my male coworkers who are noticing tired gender tropes and updating them with well-rounded female characters.
