Clint Eastwood told Spike Lee to enjoy a nice warm cup of shut the f*ck up after Lee pointed out that he had not included a single Afro-American soldier in his movies [Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima] about WWII.
Of course Lee brought it up during a press conference promoting his own war movie, which, I’m sure, has a lot of black soldiers in it.
Lee ranted to reporters in Cannes last month saying, “Clint Eastwood made two films about Iwo Jima that ran for more than four hours total, and there was not one Negro actor on the screen. If you reporters had any balls you’d ask him why. There’s no way I know why he did that. But I know it was pointed out to him and that he could have changed it. It’s not like he didn’t know.”
Eastwood responded to Lee’s allegations saying, “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’d go: ‘This guy’s lost his mind.’ I mean, it’s not accurate.” He then said sharply, “A guy like him should shut his face.”
Eastwood’s next film, called The Human Factor, is about Nelson Mandela and post-apartheid South Africa. He says of the film, “I’m not going to make Nelson Mandela a white guy.”

history books in his time didn’t have any people of color, at least not in a truthful context. beside, hollywood white washes damn near all of their “historically accurate” flix. of course, ignorance is never an excuse.
Is anyone still watching spikes shit anyway?
Next they’ll ask why there were no black actors playing in Apollo 13. Hell, they threw Morgan Freeman into Robin Hood. Where in the hell in the book is the black guy?
But on a serious note: Many black soldiers/airmen/sailors served with distinction during the war. You don’t hear them harping about Clint.
Spike Lee is either a shameless self promoter or a complete idiot. Either way it is uncalled for in this day and age.

Many blacks fought with honor and distinction in WWII… in EUROPE. IIRC, there were no blacks at Iwo Jima, which is where Eastwood’s movies take place. That’s why there were no blacks in his films. He was being historically accurate.
hmm… maybe I was wrong about there being NO blacks at Iwo Jima. In fact, I’m pretty sure I was wrong. But I’m not sure how that would change what Eastwood did with his movie. Sorry I got it wrong, though…
