School Daze

In the South of the United States are taking place confrontations between two groups of students who have different ideas and are not able to accept the one of the opponent.

Much of School Daze is based on director Spike Lee‘s experiences while a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Laurence Fishburne plays what amounts to Lee’s alter ego: a serious, self-involved student who tilts at such windmills as an insensitive administration and a deeply entrenched, social-climbing fraternity/sorority system. An inordinate amount of tension exists between the light- and dark-skinned African-American students; the lighter blacks are nicknamed “Wannabes,” a reference to their emulation of upper-class white values, while the darker ones are labelled “Jigaboos.” Characteristically, Spike Lee reserves a meaty supporting role for himself. He plays Half-Pint, a mixed-up freshman who willingly endures the basest of humiliations in order to be accepted by the “Wannabe” fraternity.
