I think most people don't like it but I have a real soft spot for Bamboozled. It's as unsubtle as anything Lee's ever done but there's something about it, especially in the last third or so, that really gets to me.
Bambloozled was my first Lee film and really blew me away, but I was thirteen. A lot the film is a meditation on if blackface ever really went away and representation in general. But rewatching some of it recently, it also speaks to the fragility of progress.
