[Video] Spike Lee Calls ‘Django’ Movie Disrespectful to His Ancestors

Vocal film-maker, Spike Lee, has gone on record explaining why he is refusing to see Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, ‘Django Unchained’. During a recent interview with Vibe, the 55-year-old Atlanta native said:

I’m not gonna see it. I’m not seeing it. It would be disrespectful to my ancestors, to see that film. I can’t disrespect my ancestors…I can’t do it. I’m not speaking on behalf of anybody, but myself.

What do you think of Spike’s remarks? Based off of the films reviews and teasers, does he have a point? Or is he being overly critical because the film was made by Tarrintino?
