Everything is Practice - A Spike Lee Joint

With the 2010 World Cup coming up, this is such a trill video to watch.

If you ask me who my favorite directors are, there really are only two answers: Quentin Tarantino, and this man, Spike Lee. Spike's movies have been a portrayal into the mind of a black man who sees the world just as cynically I, and understands that race and media play much more of a role in everyday life than people think. However, for this piece, Spike chose to keep it close to home, which I admire. Most filmmakers are shrouded in mystery and allow their personalities to come out in the works they produce. Here, you can see Spike in a realm that few see him in: as father and at the same time, competitive sports junkie. He takes the opportunity to film his son Satchel's soccer team practice and shows them decked out in Arsenal's (best side in the Premiership!!!!) home kit. It's really interesting to see the interactions between the kids, the coach and Spike himself. Spike usually isn't this transparent. Check out the video, and keep praying for another Spike Lee Joint, like I am...
