It was also nice to see hip hop stars Mos Def and The Roots, who despite being musicians, put in some convincing cameos. My biggest beef with the movie was its last 20 minutes or so, which suddenly opted for the Quentin Tarantino school of filmmaking, seeming somewhat out of place and inappropriate. As a whole, Bamboozled is definitely worth a rental and despite its flaws and pacing problems, does a solid job of conveying its message. While not quite as razor sharp as movies shot on film, the video looks good but comes across as kind of fuzzy in certain scenes. Because of the medium, there s practically zero on screen distractions as digital film eliminates print defects.
Colours are crisp and vivid with solid detail levels.
The movie itself is presented in widescreen anamorphic. I have no real complaints in the audio department either which uses both Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 formats. Instead, I d rather focus on the commentary track provided by Spike Lee who speaking by himself, completely deconstructs his movie. While he does pause quite a but during the track, he delves into many bitter rants about issues brought up in the movie and in American society. His convictions and struggle for awareness ultimately carry over into the track but makes for a truly fascinating listen.
