Clint Eastwood and Spike Lee Go to War!
To catch up: At the Cannes Film Festival last month, Lee said if reporters “had any balls” they’d ask Eastwood why he didn’t include any blacks in his films based on the battle of Iwo Jima, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Aside from suggesting that Cannes reporters are eunuchs, Lee was also promoting his own war film, Miracle at St. Anna. Eastwood responded that he was being historically accurate about the makeup of the soldiers who raised the flag on the island, and added that “a guy like him should shut his face.”
