We love you both and we want works from both of you
I don't quite understand the reports of some hissing bewtween directors Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood. A film director brings his or her experience and background to the art of film in a unique way, much the way any storyteller would. If I told the Iwo Jima story it would probably be very different from the way Mr. Eastwood told the story. If Mr. Lee is actually upset over the way Mr. Eastwood directed the film, then Mr. Lee can certainly answer with his own story of Iwo Jima. The two gentlemen may not be on the same page in the telling, but they're certainly both capable directors. And we've certainly enjoyed remakes as an American audience. I hope Spike Lee will make his own version of soldiers in World War II. His art will last a lot longer and will say much more than any quip he can come up with. Actually, that goes for both of them. So, guys, just keep making more great films for us to enjoy. Better yet, how about a joint project? That would make for an extraordinary pairing of talent and a riveting piece of film art!
