    Scene Index

    Editorial Reviews

    As startling as a trash can shattering a plate-glass window, director Spike Lee's third feature burst into theaters and changed cinematic history. Still widely regarded as Lee's best film, it opened the field to other African-American directors and helped to make such films as Boyz n the Hood possible. Do the Right Thing covers a single, sweltering summer day in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant section when racial tensions ignite minor disagreements that finally blaze into a night of violence. All the elements of Lee's provocative film are incendiary, designed to excite the senses. The Crayola color scheme and the jarring, innovative cinematography amplify the constant friction between the different characters and cultures. From the massive boom box lugged by surly Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn), Public Enemy's rancorous anthem "Fight the Power" proclaims the dawn of a new era in America. Hilarious one moment, uncomfortable the next, and graced with great performances by John Turturro, Danny Aiello, and Rosie Perez, Do the Right Thing maintains an in-your-face intensity throughout.

    March 22, 2007: No matter what it is in this film everything spills into violence over a heated argument when the character Buggin' Out confronts Sal. Just Watch! Race is precisely the central theme and it's no secret since out in the open which if we'd be more honest about race in this country it'd help, not be a panacea since race relations is the most divisive issue in American and world history.
