Spike Lee threw some shadows for Donald Trump at the Cannes Film Festival press conference, his latest joint "Maximum 2". When asked whether social media endangers American morality, Lee replied: “I don’t know how many American values ​​we can talk about given who is the president.”

He continued: “My wife said, ‘Spike, please be very careful about what you say!’ But that’s what I think social media says about the movie.

Later, when asked more directly about Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign-made films, he said he “had no answer” but admitted that “people are getting hurt.”

“No one is working,” Lee said. “That guy just said he wanted to have tariffs on every movie he was shooting…I don’t know how that would work.”

Lee continued to keep his promise to his wife, and then revealed that talking about the “right thing” was originally intended to be filmed in Baltimore rather than in New York City.

"Like the fuck here, we're not doing that," Lee said. "So there are things you can't copy. It's an atmosphere, it's an energy. So I'm lucky to be able to make movies, especially movies that happen in New York. I have people who are doing "up to 2 minimum 2" and they are doing "doing the right thing." I don't have an answer to your question, but people are sure to get hurt."

The film's protagonists, Denzel Washington, and A$AP Rocky, were absent at the press conference, with only Ilfenesh Hadera and Jeffrey Wright and Director Direction Lee participating in the panel.

"The Highest 2 Lowest" premiered Tuesday night with a live applause and a surprise Palme d'Or for Denzel Washington. It also brought Rihanna to Cannes, where Cannes sat in the audience to support her partner A$AP Rocky and walked the red carpet with him in the rain after the film debut.

"The Top 2" is an English remake of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's 1963 film High and Low and Low, modern in New York, starring Washington in Washington as the music giant tied up in the ransom plot of life or death. Rocky plays the aspiring rapper, felon, Yang, who will achieve his dream with nothing.

"The Highest 2 Lowest" also starred in "Ice Spice" (in her film debut), Dean Winters, John Douglas Thompson, Lacandz, Aubrey Joseph, Michael Potts and Wendell Pierce. The script was written by William Alan Fox. After the Cannes premiere, "The Highest 2 Lowest" will be released on August 22 from the A24 and will be broadcast on Apple TV+ on September 5.
