The feud between two of Hollywood's most well-known directors reached the next stage as Spike Lee told Clint Eastwood:

"We're not living on a plantation."

The whole thing started last month at the Cannes Film Festival, when Spike Lee said that the reporters had “no balls” because they didn’t ask Eastwood why he did not include any African Americans in his films about the battle of Iwo Jima, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima.

“Clint Eastwood made two films about Iwo Jima that ran for more than four hours total, and there was not one Negro actor on the screen,” Lee said.

Eastwood, who won the Academy Award five times, countered Lee’s assertion by saying that the just tried to be historically accurate about the films he directed and went arrogant about it by saying that a guy like Spike lee “should shut his face.” Eastwood said black troops were not involved in raising the flag at Iwo Jima, and if he would have put an African American in the scene, most critics would have called him crazy.

“The story is ‘Flags of Our Fathers,’ the famous flag-raising picture, and they [African Americans] didn’t do that,” Eastwood told The Guardian.

Eastwood, who is currently working at his next film called The Human Factor, which is about South African rugby and Nelson Mandela, ironically assured reporters that he won’t make Mandela a white guy.

The latest sting came from Spike Lee. The Emmy Award – winning and Academy Award - nominated American film director started soft by saying that Eastwood was a great film director, but continued by describing him as “an angry old man.” However, he said that he was going to end the argument with "peace and love."
