Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood have proven that Hollywood won't be running out of headline-grabbing controversy anytime soon, after Lee refused to "shut his face" and fired back at Eastwood's recent remarks strengthening his position.

"First of all, the man is not my father and we're not on a plantation either," Lee told ABCNEWS.com, immediately after Eastwood's comments on Lee's criticism two weeks ago claiming that he didn't include black soldiers in his two Iwo Jima films, emerged.

"He's a great director. He makes his films, I make my films. The thing about it though, I didn't personally attack him," Lee continued pointing out his intentions.

During a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival, Lee, who is promoting his own film, "Miracle at St. Anna," about an all-black division of soldiers during World War II," picked on Eastwood for making two films about Iwo Jima without "one Negro actor on the screen."

Eastwood had his say on the whole thing, defending his movies "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters From Iwo Jima" claiming he was historically accurate, and also brought up the fact that this wasn't Lee's first time attacking his work.

"He was complaining when I did Bird [the 1988 biopic of Charlie Parker]. Why would a white guy be doing that? I was the only guy who made it, that's why. He could have gone ahead and made it. Instead he was making something else," Eastwood recalled in an interview with the Guardian.

"A guy like him should shut his face," the Academy Award winner concluded.

But that didn't stop Lee from engaging in the conflict further on calling Eastwood "an angry old man" before finishing off explaining they just have different visions.  

"In his vision of Iwo Jima, Negro soldiers did not exist. Simple as that. I have a different version," he said.
