Jungle Fever

Jungle Fever (June 7, 1991)

Jungle Fever is a film by Spike Lee that explores interracial love and how men and women in interracial couples are treated by their family, as well as society in general. Jungle Fever is about the relationship between Flipper (Wesley Snipes) and his temporary secretary Angela Tucci (Annabella Sciorra). They face ridicule from the people around them, and they suffer the consequences of having an interracial relationship in New York City.

In this clip we see three African American women in the film talking about Flipper and Interracial love in general. The two women are ganging up on the one for not only dating black men, and she defends herself. This conversation is possibly the best representation of women in a Spike Lee film. In other films the women seem to not be represented well, but in this clip the women these actresses are portraying are pretty accurate. Lee also puts in his own views on interracial love when the woman says that it's not about a man's skin color, she just wants a man that will love her.
