The first time I watched Jungle Fever, it got me thinking about the views of many people warring with each other over the difference of color and why many families maintain their own cultures rather than integrating as one. .. . I think not!
For me it demonstrates that Spike Lee was portraying a very cynical and depressing outlook of two people from different backgrounds coming together with events increasing from bad to worse and many minorities choosing to reject such a matter rather than accepting a change.
Performances were a real turn out for me in this one. Okay I know it might sound tiresome considering the cameo appearances that Spike Lee contributes to the film's well established casting credibility, but I have to say the film belongs to both Wesley Snipes and the unavoidable Samuel L. Jackson (can't wait to see him in Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones). Playing two brothers, one of whom is a young successful designer who's relationship with Italian American assistant Annabella Sciorra causes the main issue of the film's debate. And the other an older sibling who's life revolves around drug taking and stealing.
The problem for me to take in to account is that many agree that inter-racial relationships cause bitter arguments and distrust between certain race cultures. Although it can be lightened up with a sense of humor it did leave a sour taste as to whether people will eventually change their point of views towards integrating than separating?
I'm just happy to know that many stars such as Snipes, Jackson and Halle Berry (yes that's right she plays a drug addict alongside cool man Jackson), have managed to sustain such a highly demanding careers for the many roles given to them then and now. I just hope that many other directors can help turn out the same success for their stars as much Spike Lee did for his.
