Categories : Comedy

The mystery aspect of the plot is very interesting. Spike Lee shows off the gritty urban street crime life here perfectly. Isaiah Washington gives another in a string of strong performances as the honest man trying to get by. Language Set favourite s Login. Central character brothers Isaiah Washington and Mekhi Phifer in his star making role turn in complex credible performances but are easily outshone by the astonishingly strong acting out of Harvey Keitel, Delroy Lindo, Regina Taylor who won awards for her work here , Keith David, and Lee regulars John Turturro and Thomas Byrd. The images of dead bodies shown at the beginning made a strong starting point, and served as an immediate reminder that the themes dealt with in the film are occurring all the time.

The only reason for the film’s lack of recognition I can imagine is that its subject matter had been examined a number of times before. But it is brilliant and, for the person who truly tries to understand it, a compelling, insightful look at the problems killing black America today. The only failing is that Lee bottles it near the end, delivering a sentimental ending of hope that is unfortunately not the truth in many cases. There was some great character development, especially on the part of Delroy Lindo another great performance. Isaiah Washington gives another in a string of strong performances as the honest man trying to get by. That night Strike’s brother Victor comes into the bar and is mentally upset and talks to Strike.

Lee gets his usual gritty street landscape to work with and Price gets a director with a cinematic eye thanks to standard Lee lens-er, Malik Hassan Sayeed and a playwright’s heart. When one turns up dead and a stand up citizen steps up to take the fall, a homicide detective begins unraveling the complex dynamics of life and dealing in the ‘hood. Lee is justly famous for his incendiary agitprop films of ideas which dissect race relations and urban living, sometimes at the expense of cohesive storytelling; but working with source material as thought provoking a novel as “Clockers,” which is set in Lee’s home base of “Crooklyn,” er, i mean Brooklyn, Spike finds the right mix of action, angst, and intellectualism for his strengths to shine.

This is when Spike compresses a serious debate or concern in the black community into a few expressive moments of action or dialogue. When Spike Lee applies his formidable talents to a genre piece like Richard Price’s best selling drug noir novel, “Clockers,” you might wonder what kind of hybrid you’ll get. But the inescapable fact is that this one of the best examinations of the subject matter there has been on screen – on par with “Boyz N The Hood”.

The only failing is that Lee bottles it near the end, delivering a sentimental ending of hope that is unfortunately not the truth in many cases. Most importantly, it is a brutal look at drugs, guns, and life in the projects.

Phifer is good as Strike and manages to avoid just doing a ghetto-movie type of performance, he makes you believe that he is trapped in a no-win situation. And it is FAR from uncreative. Klein suspects that Victor is covering for his brother and begins to put the heat on Strike for more information.

Rodney represents the draw of selling drugs, of quick money while policemen Andre Keith David and Klein represent his conscience trying to get him to do the right thing – Andre and Tyrone’s mother Regina Taylor particularly doing right by your own community. Clockers is a surreal look at the drug buisness, friendship, descision making, and death in the city. Lee did a good job in his portrayal of the drug culture in the projects, as well as taking a look into the police’s side of the story.

Central character brothers Isaiah Washington and Mekhi Phifer in his star making role turn in complex credible performances but are easily outshone by the astonishingly strong acting out of Harvey Keitel, Delroy Lindo, Regina Taylor who won awards for her work hereKeith David, and Lee regulars John Turturro and Thomas Byrd.

This film may have been too gritty for general audiences with its brutal depiction of urban violence and emotional brutality. It is a movie asking why so many clockdrs black men are dying in the streets.

Lindo is particularly impressive. I believe it is a metaphor. The only reason for the film’s lack of recognition I can imagine is that its subject matter had been examined a number of times before. The message is at times forced, Keitel’s sequence towards 19995 end is very clever cinematically but feels a bit like a sermon, but at other times we’re allowed to work it out ourselves.

The mothers, the cops, the young people, the kids, the men trying to make a living – there is eloquent commentary in “Clockers” on the situations of all. It angers me how overlooked this film is. He’s not a perfect filmmaker, and some of his best films are marred by elements that don’t work, but I feel his consistency in terms of delivering brilliance is not below most of the cinema’s most celebrated auteurs.

The film looks great, the whole thing has a bright colourful sheen on it that is very attractive to look at. Just as heat represented racial tension in Lee’s masterpiece “Do The Right Thing”, Strike’s sickness represents the illnesses plaguing the ghetto: I could say more about the film, but I encourage you to just see it, along with the rest of Spike’s oeuvre. And it may have been a bit too stylized for the Saturday night drive-in set wanting a brainless shoot ’em up; but for those interested in quality film making on a hugely important issue that also functions as an engaging who done it, Spike Lee does it up royal in this, perhaps Lee’s most, accessible film.

The cinematography is amazing, and I wonder what must be wrong with my tastes when I’m floored by a film like this and find visually bland a more oft-praised classic.

It is the story of the confusion and crisis of a young man’s life. I’ve just finished this film and Clockfrs thought it was excellent. However the plot is not what this film is about cllockers this is basically a film about the effects on drugs on the NY ghettos.

It is bleak and at times very off-putting. Actually, if you are a thinking, caring person, this is movie is overall heart-breaking. But it is brilliant and, for the person who truly tries to understand it, a compelling, insightful look at the problems killing black America today.

Combined with Lee’s stylish director it makes for a beautiful film – although some scenes are shot differently and on different stock, to make a point, although I’m not sure what that point is.

A little later Daryl is killed by four gunshots, one in the leg, one in the head, one in the chest, and one caught between his teeth. Another great film from Spike Lee. Keitel and John Turturro act below their station and aren’t given much to work with, Keitel especially doesn’t always manage to carry the moral core of the story without preaching.

Clockers – – English Subtitles

This movie is made to please, action lovers will find it interesting, and film buffs should find it fascinating! The direction is almost perfect, especially the last scene with the train, Spike Lee is one of the most underrated directors ever. The film tries to show the forces placed on them by their situation, their role models and the few options they have in subttiles.

There are better examples in other movies, but it manifests in “Clockers” a few times. Stylistically, this movie is a huge success. However, looking at this film from the standpoint of having never read the book I thought the story was brilliant, it engrossed me to subtitlew end. A bunch of kids are sitting in front of Rodney’s Delroy Lindo shop; one of the kids is rapping while the others pay attention. A good essay could be written on what I call the Spike Summarization technique.

In Shorty we see the same things affect the next generation and, while his aping of Strike is clumsy, you again see how the lack of good role-models reduces the options for an otherwise intelligent kid.
