I've enjoyed many Spike Lee Films. The most recent ones I've seen are "Do the Right Thing" and "Inside Man." "Do the Right Thing" seemed like an early 90's version of the movie "Crash." it portrayed almost every stereotype for it's time period and showed how much stereotyping and racism can destructive and harmful. Spike Lee films had a high demographic of the African American community and I think his films about diminishing stereotyping was a good message because racism and stereotyping exists and is used by all races.
Stereotyping in Hollywood and the use of it in films seems to always be popular. It's used in a humorous way but can be offending to some, especially if it isn't used well. I think it will always be apart of film and used in Hollywood. actors are willing to take parts of stereotypical rolls, especially actors trying to make it in Hollywood. Money can buy almost anything even a person's dignity.
