Bamboozled is a 2000 satirical film written and directed by Spike Lee about a modern televised minstrel show featuring black actors donning blackface makeup and the violent fall-out from the show's debut. The title means "purposefully confused, tricked or led astray".
Overview
The content is indeed heavily satirical, with its show within a show featuring its characters all in blackface and in a rural setting in a cotton field with plentiful watermelons. The Roots have a role as the show's house band, The Alabama Porch Monkeys. The audiences within the movie, initially baffled, come to love the show, and after a few episodes even elderly white women show up in blackface and proclaim themselves "niggers."
One of Lee's tricks on the audience for his movie is that the performances of the show within a show are rendered with excellent musicianship, sharp timing, exciting dancing, all within the most stereotypical settings of cotton fields and watermelon feasts. This puts the audience (both on-screen and in the theatre) in the position of enjoying the performances, but being unsure whether it's correct to enjoy them.
