Jungle Fever [Combo Blu-Ray + DVD]

Nothing they we're all good movie's

Anything directed by Spike Lee is good and Jungle Fever is becoming a favourite. The only reason I docked a star was because I was sad to see that it's not offered anymore on Amazon. I also cannot find it an option for streaming anywhere else online. I'm hesitant to buy the DVD and would prefer to stream it on Prime. The acting by the whole cast is top notch. It really is a classic.

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE

Great classic Spike Lee Film! Interracial relationships have come a long way!

Quand un homme noir et une femme blanche s'aiment, le racisme ambiant part dans tous les sens et détruit tout…

時代に合った真面目な映画でした。

In this 1991 social drama, Flipper Purify (Wesley Snipes), is a successful afro-american architect and is angered when he discovers his new temporary secretary is an Italian-American white woman, Angie Tucci (Annabella Sciorra). Despite the inauspicious start, they soon find common ground and have an affair. But what happens when the news gets out?The film illustrates quite easily how a secret can soon spiral out of control and although being ’another’ inter –racial love story, this shows how it affects many people from many differing angles, from the family, in the workplace, in restaurants, public places, but most tellingly of all, within friendship circles. It’s not just about black/white or any colour combination, but explores many social stereotypes such as ethnic communities, cultural expectations, drug abuse, religion and even post code snobbery as he’s from Harlem and she’s from Bensonhurst .The single disc opens to a language selection screen offering 7 [mainly Scandinavian ] languages. Main menu offers play, scenes, bonus [featurette and 3 trailers], audio [English/German] and subtitles [as for language screen]. The music is mainly Stevie Wonder but all the music fits well with the story, including Frank Sinatra.With nudity, sex and swearing from the start this is an 18 rating even before the adult themes kick in. The main issue with this film is that it’s now politically outdated, not in it’s social message, but in it’s language, a prime example is the conversation that kicks off their initial friendship, now they would both be hauled in by Human Resources and be sent on an ‘Orientation’ or ‘Racial Awareness’ course or something similar, if not fired. Much of the everyday dialogue is similar and it’s difficult to imagine this being made now. Yet this remains a worthwhile ***** watch although the message does tend to drone on in a very pessimistic way.

In diesem Film passt einfach fast alles ,gute Schauspieler ,geile Dialoge.und eine Story die einfach nicht langweilig ist oder wird .Von mir eine absolute Kaufempfehlung .

Ich muss gestehen, ich bin eine Art Dwayne-Fan; ich finde den Typen einfach sympathisch und die meisten seiner Filme gut.Jungle Fever fängt bereits unterhaltsam an, und auch wenn man die Entwicklung nach den ersten 10-15 Minuten nicht so recht kapiert (Jemand jagt Dwayne das Pfand offenbar im Auftrag des gleichen Auftraggebers ab.), verliert er nicht an Schwung und Witz. Genug Action und Klischees, die man erwarten kann, keine echten Patzer. Die paar Ungereimtheiten und das Ende kann man getrost in Kauf nehmen. Insgesamt ein unterhaltsamer Film, reicht völlig aus als DVD.
