She Hate Me
Background Information: She Hate Me [Top] She Hate Me is a 2004 Spike Lee film. It is about a man who becomes a sperm donor in order to make ends meet after he loses his job at a biotechnology firm. Branded a whistleblower, he acquiesces to the desires of a former lover, now a lesbian, to have a child. She & her girlfriend offer him a substantial sum of money to impregnate them both; this leads to him establishing a business in which groups of lesbians come over to his house & pay him to have sex with them. Later, he realises that this arrangement is wrong & immoral because children need to have a father - being raised by lesbian parents is clearly not going to work. So, he initiates a polyamorous relationship with all of the women who became pregnant by him - although how, when & why they all come to abandon their previous sexual preference is not explained. Posters Of She Hate MeEditorial DVD Review [Top] In a long & varied career, She Hate Me is easily one of Spike Lees most unusual films, on the one hand its a drama, on the other, its a comedy. Then theres the structure: a crazy quilt made up out of several different stories. Even the style is a patchwork incorporating animation & pseudo-documentary, in the vein of Lees 1986 hit Shes Gotta Have It. It all revolves around one John Henry Jack Armstrong , a successful executive at a biotech company much like ImClone . When Jack blows the whistle & loses his job, ex-fiancée Fatima , who left him for another woman, offers the now-penniless Jack $10,000 to impregnate her. All goes well, so they set up business together, & he proceeds to impregnate countless gay women, including mafia princess Simona . If theres one thing that keeps it all together, its Mackie, who handles the many changes Lee puts him through with admirable aplomb.
