Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

tdrish This movie sucked. Let's get that food off the plate, first of all. Spike Lee is better then this, and he's released much better movies. Do The Right Thing, for example, was a great film that examined a day in the life of Brooklyn seen through the eyes and views of different races. When racial tensions break through on a hot summer day, the results aren't pretty...but that is life. Get On The Bus? Has no point. Has no destination. Has no soul. Has no reason being a movie. After the fuel of Malcolm X still burned on years after its 1992 release, it seemed Lee decided to steer away from his talented traits, and go for broke in selling his racist BS that ONLY blacks can appreciate. I mean, for an example, on the bus, their is mainly only black people on the bus. There's only one white guy, a pre-Eminem who only acts black. Wonderful joy! The movie simply follows a bunch of young radical twits who want to join The Million Man March. Plot? Forget it. Bus breaks down, a man is nice enough to stop and pick them all up, and the white driver is pretty much threatened by all the black men who get on the bus with him. Is this treatment for kindness? I think not. The "roll call" scene pretty much declared this film a piece of sh*t. I thought it was biased. I'm against all that. I thought it involved extreme prejudice. If I'm prejudice toward anything, it's films like this. Looking at the other reviews, it seems some will disagree. That's fine, maybe their seeing it in a different light, but I stick to my beliefs, and declare this a racial mess of a movie. I had high hopes for you, Spike Lee. I won't make that mistake again, trust me.

fedor8 Another FINE effort by America's most UNDERrated filmmaker. His knowledge on the subject of racism is STAGGERING, and IMPRESSES me on more than one level. Accusations that Lee is really just a devious little racist, a poisonous dwarf who opportunistically exploits Hollywood's Affirmative Action system to make movies of inferior quality is utter NONSENSE, mere Right-Wing propaganda. The very notion that Lee would resort to misusing the current climate of political correctness in America in order to produce hate-filled anti-white movies is simply FALSE and malicious.Some of Lee's detractors even go so far as to suggest that GOTB glorifies African-Americans, while putting down other races: obviously, another FALSEHOOD disseminated by people who are AGAINST peaceful co-existence between different races in America and elsewhere.My favourite scene in the movie is a lengthy dialogue early on between the rich black Republican and the others in the bus. The views presented by that man are simply WRONG - all across the board. 100% UNTRUE. He LACKS education, unlike the brilliantly INFORMED guys who quite DESERVEDLY throw him off the bus.TERRIFIC performances, and an INTELLIGENT script make for a viewing experience that has been RARELY rivaled by any political movies made since.I also want to point out the incessant LIES that the Million-Man March had only 80,000 people taking part in it!(And now all you have to do is take the antonyms of all the words written in capital letters...)So what message does Lee send here? If someone doesn't agree with your political views, you simply apply violence and throw him off the bus. I thought the movie said "get ON the bus"...?Apparently, Mr.Lee is for bus-segregation after all, i.e. is no different than those KKK lunatics before him: the bus is only for those blacks who are in line with the Democratic Party's line of thinking. So much for "freeing the slaves"...The end-credits: "This movie was entirely financed by black people." And distributed and marketed by a major Hollywood studio run by Jews and whites whom Farrakhan despises...

mifunesamurai We join the bus ride with a group of Black Americans as they journey to the Million Man March. During this journey, the camera enters the soul and beliefs of each character that represents a whole spectrum of the Black community. Their conversations range from the politics to the religions and beyond their inner-self . Each one finding new meaning to their life and destiny. Reggie's preachy but fascinating script is handled masterfully by the genius Spike Lee.

pyotr-3 My favorite scene in "Get on the Bus" is when a gay man beats the you-know-what out of a nasty homophobic straight guy who has been harrassing him non-stop on the bus. This is especially poignant since the whole point of the bus trip is to go express unity and love and self-respect, yet the homophobic guy was robbing his brother of all that.Spike Lee put together a wonderful tribute to unity, love and new beginnings in this film. Louis Farrakhan may not stand for those tributes, but many people joined this march for those tributes.
