Spike Lee says expensive for music artists to speak out
- US director Spike Lee premiered his new film 'Highest 2 Lowest' at the Cannes Festival on Tuesday, addressing political and cultural issues.
- Lee linked the film's themes to current events, noting that music artists today face financial risks if they speak out politically, unlike in the 1970s.
- 'Highest 2 Lowest' stars Denzel Washington as a music mogul wrestling with a moral dilemma, and Variety described it as a movie that entertains while warning about culture's direction.
- Lee, a two-time Oscar winner for 'BlacKkKlansman' , said at Cannes, "With so much money being made... If you speak out, it's going to hurt your pocketbook."
- The event reflects broader artist concerns about speaking openly during Trump’s administration, which several cinema figures and musicians criticized for threatening democracy.
