Who is Frank Wills?

I finally watched Spike Lee's She Hates Me last night, as well as the Lord of the Rings the Return of the King. The final instalment in the Trilogy - I so wish I’d watched it in the cinema - some movies there is just no substitute for the big screen.

Anyway - let's concentrate on She Hates Me; the plot.....read link

I'm still not sure of what to make of it - the film is a mess of ideas, from homosexuality, black homophobia, corporate fraud, ethics, morality etc. What struck me most was the identification of the security guard, Frank Wills, who exposed the Watergate break-in and ruined his own life in the process while the criminals (Liddy, Dean, Nixon, Erlichman, Haldeman etc.) grew wealthy, in part because of their notoriety.

Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing was probably the defining moment in my adolescence, everything changed for me after watching that movie. It was then that i felt what it truly meant to tell a story to an audience.

Lee described, She Hates Me, to the New York Times, "This film is not haphazard, it's not a mess. There was a blueprint that it should be hectic, that there should be a lot of things going on... That was the thought process, to reflect the velocity at which stuff comes to us."

Perhaps, that’s why the movie lost me. Characters where to Hardy like in there caricatures moving from comedy to drama with to much flip flop ease. Whatever he does, there will always be apart of me that look at Mr Lee’s movies with a certain shade of rose tinted glasses, he is without doubt an inspiration and though not evident in this movie, a groundbreaking artist.
