Movie Reviews of Get on the Bus
Movie Review: Better the second time around
Summary: 4 Stars
The first time I saw this movie , I wasn't impressed with it. It seemed boring and pointless. Then I watched again with friends and got the message behind it. Spike Lee has made a great male bonding film that everyone should see no matter what color you are.
Summary of Get on the Bus
Once again Spike Lee goes where no other filmmaker dares straight into the fascinating controversy of Louis Farrakhan s Million Man March and the larger question of what it means to be a black man in modern America. A riveting film Get On The Bus follows a group of different men traveling from Los Angeles to the march in Washington D.C. On the way they will make friends make enemies and make history. Lee s incredible cast includes Charles S. Dutton as the inspiring driver of the bus Andre Braugher as a rage-filled actor Isaiah Washington as an iconoclastic gay Republican and the revered Ossie Davis as Jeremiah the spiritual leader of the men.System Requirements:Starring: Andre Braugher Richard Belzer Ozzie Davis Charles S. Dutton Thomas Jefferson Byrd Gabriel Casseus Albert Hall Hill Harper Harry J. Lennix and De aundre Bonds. Directed By: Spike Lee. Running Time: 121 Min. Color. This film is presented in both "Widescreen" and "Standard" formats. Copyright 2000 Columbia TriStar Home Video.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?043396058330Prolific director Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X) offers the fictionalized account of the pilgrimages black men all across the country made to the Million Man March in Washington, D.C., and the process showcases a fine ensemble cast of eclectic actors. Shot in a fast-paced low-budget style, the film chronicles a bus trip beginning in Los Angeles and the passengers, all from vastly divergent ages, backgrounds, and beliefs, getting to know one another and discussing their respective reasons for making the trip. The group, including a gay couple, a father and his son, a cop, and an actor, each confront the hostilities and prejudices they have faced as well as the ones they hold within themselves. And along the road they encounter incidents that bring into sharp focus the need they feel to acknowledge their heritage and shared struggle. Frequently entertaining in its rapid pace and cutting dialogue, this small but ambitious effort is sure to provoke debate even as it entertains. --Robert Lane
