Review of Get on the Bus (1996) by Christopher S — 17 Dec 2009
Very underrated film by Spike Lee. This was his first hit since Malcolm X four years before so it had to feel good for him. Also great about this film? No Spike Lee acting in the film. Really strange to see Bernie Mac, Isaiah Washington, and others in this film before they became stars.
The stories in the film were very captivating and Ossie Davis, as usual, stole every scene he was in. The scene with Richard Belzer and Charles Dutton in Memphis was one of the best I have seen from Lee.
Very in-depth character study and the only film about the Million Man March I have seen so I guess it has the monopoly on that.
