Spike Lee grabs the moment of apprehension on multiple levels through Monty Brogan (Edward Norton) and his friends in the shadow 9/11, and then dissects the different levels through the lens as Monty prepares himself to go away for a seven year prison term. Lee does it in such a way that anxiety and stress is unavoidable, which certainly gets the audience's attention on what is at stake and why it is at stake. Apprehension is not only depicted through Monty, but also with those around him who seek and avoid it. There is no way to get away from this lingering apprehension and it is already too late to turn back. At the end, Lee will make the audience see what he wants them to see while leaving everything to our imagination with brilliant touch. |
