Do the Right Thing
Don’t get me wrong, this movie is absolutely awesome in its epic-ness–Bed Stuy burning thanks to the racial tensions on the hottest day of the year? What a storyline! But there’s just so much negativity and injustice that happens in it that my blood starts to boil. I love the music in it and the style, and the performances and directing was top notch, but when they killed Radio Raheem AND tore up Sal’s Pizzeria, it was hard to finish the movie without being heated. Maybe it all bothered me because I know that people really do still think so backwards about other races. Now if I see this movie come on television, I just watch the opening to see Rosie Perez dance to “Fight the Power.” Anything else? No mas!
