    The second movie that I am analyzing is Spike Lee ‘School Daze‚’ which came out in theaters in 1988 and was filmed on Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse Campus. In the beginning of the film‚ just like ‘She’s Gotta Have It‚’ there are pictures and the song being played is “I’m building me a home‚” through out the first three minutes of the film. From what I have seen I believe that Spike Lee is introducing the film to us. It is showing where African Americans came from and our growth through

Jonze uses the power of subtext to make
