The rant in the restroom

I know everyone acclaims that scene but I thought it was just Spike Lee jerking himself off again. It was too much like the racial tirades in Do the Right Thing. Back then those scenes may have been "cutting edge" or whatever, but in this movie it just felt like Spike Lee was ripping himself off, while in his mind I'm sure he was thinking he was doing some "genius" trademark thing that no one else would do.

It was too EXAGGERRATED.

I agree with the last line, "no, #@$% you Montgomery Brogan, you had it all and you threw it all away, you dumb %#@$!" Its just perfectly delivered, and speaks volumes about society as a whole, we try to blame everything and everyone only to realize, we're also part of the everything and everyone.
That part and the ending are fantastic, too bad the first half of the movie is pretty damn stale, otherwise it would be my fav movie of all time.

I didn't agree with everything he said, the only line I 100% agree with was when he said no *beep* you to himself. The point was he was putting all the blame on those people he was ranting about (including his family & friends) when he's a fully grown adult that made those decisions on his own.

It wasnt towards those people but himself. He hates himself and he expresses that to the outside world but he really means just himself.

Pretty much agreed with just about everything he said!

That scene is taken verbatim from the book on which the film is based - except that part about Bin Laden and 9/11.
