If Lee fleshed out her character or adjusted her motivations, would that rectify the problems with his film? Or would it really only be better for women to make movies about women? Is Spike Lee somehow being more authentic by giving primary voice to the men in his film? Is the point of the film supposed to be how black men perceive Nola/women? Is it right of him not to presume to speak for Nola? Since I haven’t yet watched the film I can’t form an opinion on hooks’ reading of it, but I think that question is worth addressing by itself. One question that bell hooks asks in this essay is, “Can a man really tell a woman’s story?” She discusses the shortcomings in “She’s Gotta Have It,” including that Nola’s characters is two-dimensional compared to the men, who have interests other than sex, that Nola’s sexual activities are more a reward bestowed upon a deserving man than sexually satisfying for Nola herself, and that Nola’s story is controlled primarily by men’s perception of her, but she never actually answers this question in this essay. ![]() ![]() ![]() Likes: Keeping secrets secret covering up his distinguished service record triplets Spanish endearments - querida - inexplicably slip out during intimate encounters.ĭislikes: Being forced to find a wife in order to gain his inheritance (but he’ll suck it up and make it happen once he encounters feisty Felicity.)īadass Annoying Moment: Forcing Felicity to the altar.īadass Hero Moment: Forcing Felicity to the altar. ![]() Hangs Out In: 1820’s London, where he has returned after a decade or so as an expat and (of course!) brilliant spy for His Majesty’s government. ![]() Pen mightier than sword, etc.īrought To You By: Sabrina Jeffries, in The Dangerous Lord (2000) (re-issued 2009) Gossip columnist Lord X is really Felicity Taylor, society architect’s daughter and penniless wielder of London’s most notorious pen.
