Review of School Daze (1988) by Filmgrinder S — 25 Nov 2010
Spike Lee's 2nd proper film, about an all Black college. The plot jumps around, and their is no structure atimes, but a lot of the individual scenes are good, especially the ones featuring Lee, Fishburne, Esposito, and Ossie Davis. Certainly this was a good movies beofre he started making great oes, i.e., Do The Right Thing, Summer Of Sam, and 25th Hour. Also, a then unknown Samuel L Jackson has a small part.
Grady: In life, there are times to be quiet, to shut the fuck up. This is one of those times.
Julian Eaves: You talk more shit than a little bit.
Monroe: Learn to articulate, you juvenile delinquent!
Wanna Be's: You're just a jig-a-boo, tryin' to find somethin' to do!
Jig-A-Boo's: Well, you're a wanna-be, wanna be better than me!
Julian Eaves: Half-Pint, how tall are you?
Half-Pint: Five feet, five inches.
Julian Eaves: You are a five foot, five inch piece of shit.
Leeds: Now I bet you niggers do think y'all white. College don't mean shit. Y'all niggers, and you gonna be niggers forever... just like us. Niggers.
Dap: You're not niggers.
Dap: [shouts] Wake up!
