An American Classic

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2005)

He got game is perhaps Spike Lee's most least appreciated work, and doesn't get the recognition it deserves is such a fine fine film. From start to finish He got game presents a moving storyline amid Aaron Copland's classics. The juxtaposition of this music with basketball and urban life is absolutely genius. Sayeed's Cinematography as always makes a lasting impressions as well. Denzel is at the top of his game yet again, and the choice of Ray Allen is perfect. He got game is a story about American life, and the American family. Spike's use of symbolism through the game of basketball is phenomenal and moving. There's not a single director other than Spike who could have pulled off this American classic.
