The thing that really stuck out watching this with Da 5 Bloods still fresh in my mind is how time is represented, with three different generations of men all traveling together. Everyone on the bus faces the same issues that haven’t change in any of their lifetimes. That…

KYKFeb 5, 2022Action! - Spike The Power, Lee The Riot' While Do The Right Thing was Spike Lee at his most aggressive, this film sees him at his most preachy. Somebody here on LB mentioned the other day that Lee often goes for the most basic analysis of race, and nothing captures that…

This is a hopelessly naive thing to admit, but I’ve been watching Spike Lee movies since the early 90s and yet somehow I feel like I’m only now seeing Spike Lee movies. Which is ironic because it seems obvious to me now that one of Lee’s primary concerns as a filmmaker is…

Spike Lee didn’t write Get on the Bus, but he uses Reggie Rock Blythewood’s stellar screenplay to make a movie that’s unmistakably a Spike Lee Joint. He assembles an incredible cast of commanding performers, including Ossie Davis and Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Andre Braugher, to…
Wesley StenzelJun 2, 2020Top 5 Spike Lee for me...and consider his filmography! This is a cinematic conversation piece that might feel very dated in places but serves more as a time capsule and a sad reminder how little has changed...but it also has hope and that needs to be reminded. It’s on…
Joe LynchFeb 9, 2022Upper tier Spike Lee; one of my favourite things about Get on the Bus is that it does so much through conversations in a crowded setting. With the set up from watching a bunch of black men boarding a bus in order to attend Louis Farrakhan's Million Man March, what you're…

What makes Get on the Bus extraordinary is the truth and feeling that go into its episodes. Spike Lee and his actors face one hard truth after another, in scenes of great power.
In Get on the Bus, director and material come together with perfect ease — one of those occasional confluences of subject and strengths that make a moviegoer go, ”Of course!” Of course Spike Lee throws all of his bravado, all his storytelling talents, and all his artistic chutzpah into a movie about last year’s Million Man March.
Like the march itself--which is only briefly glimpsed--Get On the Bus' is conceived as a challenge to black men to take accountability for their lives. A sermon wrapped in a road movie, at its best it can stir the soul.
