Do The Right Thing
Do the Right Thing is a 1989 American comedy-drama film. The movie takes place Brooklyn, New York and tells a story of the racial tension in the neighborhood from white, blacks, latinos and italians. This films shows how each race has deals with race in the neighborhood and how it is handled. There are three main business that dominate the neighborhood which is a storefront radio station, convenience store owned by a korean couple and a Sal’s famous pizzeria which are white owners. Sal has been in the neighborhood for 25 years and is running the business with the his two sons,Vito and Pino. They have one black employee named Mookie who wants to "get paid" but lacks ambition. Two of Mookie's best friends are Radio Raheem and Buggin' Out notes that Sal's "Wall of Fame," a photo gallery of famous Italian-Americans, includes no people of color, eventually demands a neighborhood boycott. This boycott leads to tragic consequences causing Sal’s business to burn down.
This film was absolutely shocking to me there is so much going on here with some humor add into it. Racism has always been a great problem in our society. As many of us would like to think it does not exist anymore, it very much does. It seems very obvious that the film was written by an african americans because it takes the point of view on how they view racism. although this film was in 1989 I still think it fairly modern and many people can relate to it. I like how this film shows how every race acts around african americans, although very true but with humor at the same time. I think this film showed great aspects to where the africans americans are wrong and where they are right. One example where we can tell that racism is taken over to the extreme but at the same time funny is when the caucasian scuffs Buggins's shoe. His friends peer pressure him that it was done on purpose. The white man apologizes and yet Buggin is still causing drama and insulting the man. After insulting
