I agree to an extent as someone from the culture I believe is the best person to take the role of director. As you can tell in Quentin Tarantino films he overuses racial slurs with Spike Lee criticising him for that particularly as he does overuse that offensive language however Tarantino’s movies are supposed to be over the top and Samuel L Jackson has defended him. This shows a mix of opinion in this debate however it can clearly be seen for the argument how Lee sees his culture misrepresented as a form of this as films such Black Panther what reached a wider audience as Ryan Coogler an African-american director was able to represent his culture and find a characters for this audience to resonate with.

However Spike Lee’s comments could be turned against him by saying how he might misrepresent certain cultures in his movies. However when he brings up Detroit that is unfair to criticise Bigelow as she is using sources to make a movie what according to some people is 99.5% accurate to the what actually happened. So its difficult to do everything right when your using material based of true stories to make a movie. As well that movie is a balance of the both white and black culture in the 60s what was possibly different to what is today making it even harder to get a perfect portrayal of both societies.

Yet I do see his problem as a whole as directors from one culture are not able to capture the same effect of someone from the culture the film has incorporated into it at its core  as they haven’t experienced to understand it. I still do believe that its not major problem compared to white washing in Hollywood what doesn’t allow a culture to be represented in the movie unlike this what still allows a culture to be represented.
