Spike Lee comes back with a controversial new film. One of America's greatest directors is firming himself as a New York film-maker (in different style but much like Woody Allen) and not as a black film-maker, as is earlier work might induce. This powerful movie is the first true reflection on the American guilt after the tragedy of September 11th.(POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!) Edward Norton (fantastic once again)is a man on is way to jail. He is an anti-hero, with a terrible future completely to is own fault. His family and friends symbolize different aspects of a multi-racial, multi-cultural society, with their merits and flaws. The brilliant mirror-scene on which Norton blames the world for his fate (and shows all the hatred and anger) is one of the most powerful scenes in recent cinema.The same people he blames are there in the end to see him off smiling. The final scene is also powerful, the dream of another life is father tells his son is only that, a dream...There is nothing he can do, he won't run away, nothing will ever be the same, like the world won't be the same after those tragic events...
