It's almost impossible to become someone whom everyone likes
Spike Lee is probably the first African American film maker who made a major impact on films and also achieved recognizable success both financially and critically (and he is one of the most important film makers today). Although not all films are critically successful, I'd risk saying that almost all film fans and film critics find a couple of Spike Lee films that they really like, rate highly or both (Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X and 25th Hour are three of the most popular Spike Lee films). However, he is not liked by everyone, and while he makes many films about African Americans, he is not liked by every African American. Apparently, Tupac did not like Spike Lee (his films and his view point), and he talked about that in Tupac: Resurrection, though he later explained that he said what he said because he was young and unintelligent. Well, it's almost impossible to become someone whom everyone likes.
