Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" was an extremely good example of a film with significant social commentary. The dialogue in the film fit so well with the setting as well as the community and, for me atleast, is where most of the entertainment can be found. I did have to rent the film because I missed some, but truth is I did not feel as though my missing a section really affected my comprehension of the film. The film definitely does not tell a plot driven story but centers more around human action and behavior. It was very interesting watching the film unfold, and it was a complete surprise to me to find out that Mookie would be the one to start the riot on Sal's Pizzeria. My favorite character, and the one I thought actually did do the right thing, was Da Mayor. He is the one who utters these words to Mookie, as well as the sole person attempting to calm the angry people of the neighborhood after Radio Raheem's death. I applaud the utilization of color in this film because it truly sets this film apart, it not only emphasizes the heat, but more importantly it gives the neighborhood a unique look/feel. Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" could be heard numerous times in the film and highlights the racial tension. In terms of the issues brought up in the film, I do not think Buggin' Out had a right to criticize Sal for not having African Americans' pictures on his wall. It's not like he had Abraham Lincoln and Cary Grant up there; it was strictly Italian Americans, and it was his attempt to represent his culture. In my opinion Sal is not a racist, but he is clearly aware of his surroundings. I do not believe that Mookie did the right thing by society's standards, but I do believe he did the right thing in terms of mourning a good friend.
