Copycat


Can't possibly be as good as "Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait".

I was coming on here to write the exact same thing. I usually love Spike but when I read about this, 21st Century Portrait immediately came to mind. He must be running out of ideas.

reply

yes because no one has ever done a documentary about a popular sports figure before.

Copycat? I was thinking about Kobe's mimicry of Jordan and I wonder if he asked him about why/ how he learned how to mimic Jordan: from the way he talks, to dribbles, to shoots. The on the court mimicry I can understand, but the speech thing is creepy. He'll never approach Jordan as MJ wouldn't have been a punk and would have found a way to keep playing with Shaq.

"He said his own future documentary projects include a movie for ESPN about Kobe Bryant, in which the Los Angeles Lakers basketball star was filmed by 30 cameras during a game last April. It was inspired by a similar movie made of French and Real Madrid soccer star Zinedine Zidane. "I liked it. I said, this would work better with basketball," Lee said."

it's just that since soccer isn't a real sport, spike lee is trying to reach more people

soccer is a real sport, its just happens to very boring because its tends to be more of a defensive game then an offensive game. Not to mention all soccer players are PU$$Y$. They flop and they act and they lay on the ground pretending to be injured so they can try to get a foul. Basketball players tend to do it too, but not nearly as often as you see a soccer player do it. There is nothing worse to me then when you see a soccer player get carried off the field on a stretcher, only to see him get right off on the sideline and re-enter the game. Its pathetic. Granted Paul Pierce did this last year in the playoffs, but i have seen a basketball player do it once, and soccer players many times.

Oh yeah, it's really boring. Only like billions of people worldwide watch it and they do it because it's their nature to be masochists.
