Oscar winner and top box office star – Clint Eastwood, 78 and director of ‘Changeling’, a period drama, talking to veteran movie journalist Lillian Ross at a Saturday Q&A sponsored by the New Yorker magazine at the Directors Guild of America stated, he finds Angelina Jolie, his leading lady to be extremely talented, but a talent that can be overlooked due to her having the most ‘gorgeous face on the planet’.

Spike Lee is correct in saying that African-Americans played an instrumental role in World War II, in which more than 1 million black servicemen helped defeat the Axis Powers.

Spike Lee reacted to Eastwood’s remark, “a guy like him should shut his face,” saying that he didn’t attack Clint personally, so why was he making it personal… he sounded like an angry old man.

Saying "a guy like (Lee) him should shut his face… has he ever studied history?" in the Britain's The Guardian, the five times Oscar winner – Clint Eastwood fired back at Spike Lee, who criticized him for not depicting any black actors in his two World War II movies, "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters From Iwo Jima."
