LOS ANGELES -- Director Spike Lee sees his new film, "She Hate Me," about corporate corruption, as an indictment of the current Bush administration.
"If you are indicting big business, automatically, it's indicting George Bush," Lee says. "George Bush, he has more CEOs in his administration than any other president in the history of the United States of America."
In the opening credits of his film, Lee put the president's photo on a $3 dollar bill with an Enron logo.
The often-controversial African-American director of "Do the Right Thing" and "Summer of Sam" cast Woody Harrelson and Ellen Barkin in "She Hate Me" as sleazy corporate moguls who fire a black executive, played by Anthony Mackie. The fired man's bisexual ex-wife (Kerry Washington) then finds a way for him to earn money by impregnating her lesbian friends for big bucks.
He doesn't see his film as influencing the November presidential election, like Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11."
"I know some African Americans who voted for Bush, but they're not going to do it this time," Lee says.
Serious matters
"I'm very nervous about this election, because we're all going to go to hell if George Bush wins," Lee says, pointing out recent job losses suffered by Whoopi Goldberg and Linda Ronstadt after they spoke up against Bush.
He's also concerned that filmmaker Moore needs to have bodyguards around him because his life has been threatened. "Michael Moore would not need armed guards around him 24 hours a day if that film had no impact," says Lee, who spoke to Moore a few days ago. "He's not happy about it, with his life being threatened. I wouldn't be happy either."
"This is a very serious time, man. They're squashing down," Lee sighs. "I say God help us all."
