Lo sapevi?
- QuizSpike Lee had the actors stay in separate hotels during filming. The actors playing the "wannabes" had better accommodation than those playing the "jigaboos", which contributed to the on-camera animosity between the two camps. The step show scene was the result of that animosity. According to Lee, the fight between the jigaboos and wannabes was real.

- Citazioni
Rachel Meadows: [as the "Jiggaboos" and the "Wannabes" encounter each other in the hallway] The word is "Excuse me."
Jane Toussaint: No one told you to stand in the hall, either. "Excuse me."
Rachel Meadows: That's better, Ms. Thing.
Doris Witherspoon: [as Jane turns and flips her hair] It's not real!
Dina: [as the Jiggaboos laugh] Say what?
Lizzie Life: You heard
Rachel Meadows: It... ain't... even... real.
Jane Toussaint: You wish you had hair like this.
Doris Witherspoon: Girl, you know you weren't even born with blue eyes!
Lizzie Life: That's right. Blue contact lenses.
Dina: They're just jealous!
Rachel Meadows: Jealous?
Jane Toussaint: Rachel! I've been watching you look at Julian. You're not slick.
Rachel Meadows: If that was true, he wasn't much to look at.
[Snaps fingers]

I'm a black college student who used to be in a white fraternity and this film is actually fairly accurate to the ideas those organizations promote.
The acting is stellar, Laurence Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito, Tisha Champbell, and Spike Lee steal the show but as much effort is put into almost every supporting role.
The cinematography is done pretty well, not flawless but as a film buff I appreciated it. The music is awesome and keeps you engaged, it really serves as a nice break for the more dramatic scenes.
The storyline is overall about finding yourself in college which is a very difficult task and even more difficult now in the age of social media.
The only complaint I had about this film is that the actors don't really look like college students, but it's minuscule in comparison to the film's themes.
I would recommend this film, but the primary audience is adults and I would keep high school students away from this film unless they're exceptionally mature for their age.
Go into School Daze with an open mind and be prepared for a powerful film that sticks in your mind well after your initial viewing.
