25th Hour Response

25th hour was a very interesting movie, and not what i was expecting at all from a spike lee movie.  25th hour takes place over an extremely small window of a mans life who in a very short period of time will be sent off to jail for a long time.  The film being in this small window of time of this mans life really helped to show the emotions he was feeling.  What I found fascinating most about the movie was how much you could feel all the emotions surrounding him in his last couple days.  You really could tell the toll it was taking on himself and all of the people around him that he was going off to hard jail for a long time soon.

Even thought I found the movie very intriguing, it is not what I would expect from a Spike Lee film.  The social commentary was not as much as other films, but there was still hints of spike within the film.  There was still lots of dropping of racist words and sayings within the film, which is usual of spike.  The film just felt more Hollywood than his others, which felt more personal to him.
