Clint Eastwood Tells Spike Lee to Shut His Face!
photo courtesy of PR Photos/www.prphotos.comClint Eastwood has reportedly told Spike Lee to “shut his face” after he complained about the lack of black actors in Eastwood’s films. Apparently, Lee complained that Eastwood failed to include a single black soldier in his movies Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima.
Eastwood explained that African American troops who were at the battle didn’t take part in raising the flag. He told The Guardian:
“The story is Flags of our Fathers, the famous flag-raising picture, and they didn’t do that. If I go ahead and put an African-American actor in there, people go: ‘This guy’s lost his mind’. I mean, it’s not accurate.”
Eastwood added:
“A guy like him should shut his face.”
Yeah, Spike Lee, talk to the hand (Eastwood’s hand, that is)!
Uh-oh, it’s going to be war now though…

Spike Lee has no qualms about making films with only African American actors, so he should not be throwing stones. Also, if Mr. Eastwood was historically right then his demands are offensive.
