If you get a compliment like that... especially from Spike Lee. It's too amazing

I promise you I would’ve started crying if Spike Lee said that to me

@FightWorldSlavery What controversial statement did Spike make that Ali just arbitrarily agreed too? Fight the slavery of your nasty ass attitude, then maybe you can do something positive for the world. Until then, you just sound like a bitter might-have-been.

@Beard of Swift American Justice! Academy Awards, reviews and >$500mil in the box office disagree with you, snowflake.

@Krljavi Dzo You seem like the snowflake here buddy. Pretty evident your disdain for black people.

lol

Thats why many call him ben swolo

Darth Watson that dude doesnt weigh 30 pounds soaking wet under that black little dress

@@Korbin1701 Oh look, he's choking on food

I think I’m the only one that gets the comment

pkking27 love it

Possibly the highest compliment Ali could get, I reckon. And well deserved!

AMEN

@ZULU MATUBU I'm not concerned with his melanin volume, just that he's really good

@FightWorldSlavery You... are probably talking about the wrong Ali, and you're wrong on that account too.

You can tell he was about to say "my films" and decided instead to say "cinema". He was making a joke.

Love your picture 😂

normalgirlcvco The Man, The Beast, The Swolo Thank You 😉

Rioeio Kha I love the fact you are thinking that you are clever but trust me... you're not.

Rioeio Kha what is wrong with you

And a former marine

Exactly, exactly!!!

Hopefully for Kylo in Ep 9

Trophy's mean nothing. Films speak louder and impart immortality.

A fucking MEN to that darling. AGREED!!!

He's now being considered and is one of the favorites for an Oscar this next premiere, for his performance in Marriage Story!

He teaches at my university. He's a really down to Earth, nice man. I met him through one of my friends who had his class and I was really nervous, but he was so nice and made it easy to talk to him.

@@SunyiSideUp He teaches at a university?! I had no idea! OMG, I'd love to take a class from him!

@@Karin_Allen Yep, NYU Tisch School of the Arts in the film department! He usually only teaches one class a semester, but he took time off because BlacKkKlansman did so well and has been nominated for so many awards this awards season.

There are times, especially when discussing social issues, where Spike Lee can become adversarial, to the point where he comes off as aggressive, but he always speaks constructively and intelligently. I just think some folks have a hard time with the passion he can inject in his dialog, and that has given him a reputation of being stern and maybe unapproachable. But Lee's the kind of guy that if you ever bumped into him on the streets of NY, he'd acknowledge you and maybe even have a chat if he had time. He's an amazing human being, and an unbelievable contributor to the film industry. I only wish he made more movies.

Sharpe: Spike's always been laid back and funny as hell, and he's always had mad charisma, which is why he's usually so much fun to watch in his films, and interviews. One thing I've always liked about Spike is the fact that he's always given zero fucks what anybody thinks about him, and he continues to speak truth to power even to this day----watch what he said at the Cannes Film Festival last year about a certain idiot in the W.H.

definitely one of the best interviewer ive seen.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's noticed him! Whenever I see him pop up in a video, I know I'm in for an interview that's fun *and* has meaningful content.

I agree wholeheartedly!

Agreed he's amazing

I've heard the word bloke, what does that mean?

(allegedly)

@@stevepisano5566 Ha!

Karen M. This is the full interview available on BBC iplayer www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p06hn9ph/movies-with-ali-plumb-spike-lee-movies-that-made-me

Thank you for this link 😎

Captain Obvious wait, who are you replying to with you're edgy little "my comment was sarcastic" ? As far as I can tell, no-one gives a shit if you're proud to be white. I assume most white people are proud to be white. Just like how most rich people are proud to be rich. If you're gonna spend that long building a straw-man argument against no-one, there's a bug up your ass somewhere. What are you compensating for?

How about this, enjoy watching a video about a man who produced films we remember well, or reminisce those formative years as our memories of growing up. Hold that thought, and remember in those moments. Race was never an issue with the people you knew, and it shouldn't be now. Forget all the nonsense people are trying to peddle today. Just ignore their anger.

Wtf? 😂😂😂

@@glenforde.bridgeton-wood8875 Here I was in full agreement with both top comments (the OP and the first reply) thinking, "Wow, that's cool." Then, the third guy kinda broke up my mood, and then the second guy turned out to be a dick. Well, so much for the internet...

Thanks homie

Kylo ten, kylo eleven, kylo twelve, kylo thirteen, kylo fourteen, kylo fifteen.

jt smith I have been thinking along the same lines that Adam is as good as the great ones. He is the type of actor that other actors want to make fun of him because they fear his intensity. Just like Deniro. About the Star Wars project. I don’t think Adam would take something like that. I was surprised he took Star Wars. And he brought it home.

Lol

the sequels should have been about kylo ren/ben solo imho

Rimbo Rimday I am still trying to find out what the prophecy about Anakin bringing balance to the force was. No closure. None whatsoever.

beauty and the beast :)

Mrs. Kennedy shot him into outer space!

editor's have a great sense of humour 😂

Story Optics He appreciates it because he is highly intelligent. Spike is a smart man. He showed me it was ok to be Black, artistically creative, and curious. I had never seen Black people the way he portrayed us in his early work. His films are part of the backdrop of my life.

@@jblank1862 He's a genius who can capture what has always been true but that no one else would put into art.

He always firmly articulated his creativity when interviewed as well. His early interviews....pure comedy. You should check some out if you haven't. I love the way he would check people.

Cause ali plumb is the best

It wouldn’t be made today which is such a shame bc it’s a masterpiece

Agreed 1000%.

It's okay.

And that's the double truth, Ruth

@@cbrreezzyy69 Why not?

ROll Tide LBC I was one of only two white people in the audience when I saw DoThe Right Thing ( the week it opened.) Everybody was respectful, but there were definitely “ Ok, Becky, how’d you like it?” vibes from a couple dudes as my friend and I walked out.

Unknown Survivor It was about racism. Big shock, it had racist content.

Unknown Survivor I’d say it was specifically hard on Italian people. See also- Son of Sam. Other than Sal and his family- one of which was relatively cool with Mookie- you had cops ( tell me black people in Brooklyn don’t have a right to portray their beat cops as skulking around and menacing ordinary people) and that one dude on the bike who was surrounded by the mob accusing him of gentrification, to which he replied “ I was born in Brooklyn!” I thought he was the victor in that situation myself.

Vincent H. Wow. Well I can’t really argue with nonsense either. The only thing objective about any form of entertainment is that’s it’s all 100% subjective. You must know more about entertainment than every American industry. It must be lonely being that good of a critic. I’m a Queen fan. Freddie Mercury was an inspiration to billions of people over the last 3 decades. It’s a wonderful movie for fans and newcomers to them. I suggest structuring a new way to volunteer your opinions.

Vincent H. Oh I don’t know, the 20 minute ending show. The awareness it brought to charity performances. Queen being involved in the production and awarding Rami and the cast on their portrayal of them. The inner demons that people having trouble accepting who they are endure. There has always been a problem with peoples acceptance of immigrants in America. Should I go on?

@@mr.atomictitan9938 nah the ending of blackkklansman is amazing in my opinion! Its so powerful!

@@gibskeinspass3743 i respectfully disagree. How is depicting trump a bad guy going to make a movie good? Any movie that has a side is not a good movie let alone a political stand point. Spike lee made a comedic movie but not a powerful nor original film peice. Also if we are to get into the argument that racism is really bad in America or that it is objective then no we are not yoing their

@@gibskeinspass3743 Which ending? The point where it should have ended or the extra one sided out of context BS they piled in afterwards? Blackkklansman was a great movie pretty much ruined by forcing a singular point of view down the throats of the audience through its opening and closing scenes. The actual film does a good job of showing how pointless blind hate and the inability to compromise can be, and how such attitudes aren't just on one side of the fence. The ending scene illustrates this, where the female lead tells the male lead that she can't be with him because he is a cop (and therefore bad), despite him doing far more for the cause she proclaims to stand for than she did. This film shows the reality that people of the same mindset exist on both sides, and the problem isn't simply white racism and intolerance, but also intolerance and hate on the part of black people as well. That message is completely undermined and ruined by those first and last scenes of the film where the focus is entirely on white racism and nothing else. The ending may be powerful, but the message is both forced and bad one.

Adam Driver is just a class act with ridiculous talent he is something quite special for sure 💯☺️ you are so right 👍

He got injured before deployment so he never served in combat with the men he trained with. He said he has always felt great guilt about that.

@@dmartig1 I never agreed with the War in Iraq. Afghanistan I have always been sort of torn about. I am however glad that Adam Driver went to school and became an actor.

@@dylanm3519 agreed . 2 VERY DIFFERENT ISSUES

@@dmartig1 He went thru boot camp and tried though . Honest injury

@@dylanm3519 I am, too. When Adam was just a kid I told my husband that he was a born actor.

you can't say he absolutely made the movie and then say it's a great film. Just doesn't make sense.

@@lewiscarter1229 It makes sense.

Ali Plumb is the name apparently

he's on radio 1 most mornings if you get BBC wherever you're @ pal

hes a british national treasure to us xxx

Why? He even admits half way that one of his assistants found out the fact Spike was interested in. Shows he's just a face to ask questions other people write for him nothing to be admired

@@ace3998 just cause his assistant did that particular thing for him..doesnt mean he dont put his work in!! He's a natural at interviews, other hosts aren't as good as Ali.

BAHAHAHAHA

U ARE A GODSEND

The most boring part of the interview (No disrespect to Adam Driver...He was great in the movie too)

Well ofcourse he is a true American he was born here . Dafuck you talking about? High and might simple ass twit!

@@themadlad8540 Some people are treasonous. Dafuck you not know that word?

@@thricefan89 some people are just looking to find racism like spike lee here. Though I don't care if your canadian but you should at least know the difference between a true american film like Hostiles, or 2001: A space odyssey. hell even quintin terenteno with inglorious bastards it great. killing nazis is the most american thing you can do. (if you think I am serious I am not I am joking, though you should watch inglorious bastards because its really good)

Of which America?

@@mr.atomictitan9938 no

AzureAnie It’s from Inside Llewyn Davis
