Abstract
Black American filmmakers have played a significant role in shaping both independent and mainstream cinema within the United States. One of the key figures in 20th-century Black Cinema who has made a substantial impact with socially challenging, radical, and politically contentious films is the enigmatic Spike Lee. This study delves into various perspectives of film theory, examining the critical and controversial nature of Hollywood's portrayal of the Black community. It also addresses the prevalent racist stereotypes and biases they encountered while shedding light on how African American directors responded to these misguided trends. Consequently, this research delves deeply into Spike Lee's masterpieces, exploring different contexts and highlighting pivotal moments in selected films that critically addressed the racially biased Hollywood industry. Ultimately, it aims to provide insights into the repercussions of racism against African Americans and the evolving landscape over time.
