Essay about Do The Right Thing
"DO THE RIGHT THING"
Spike Lee's movie Do the Right Thing is an excellent portrayal of what life was and is most certainly like in some areas of New York City and
across the United States of America.
His movie tells the story of Mookie an African American pizza deliveryman, trying to make a living to support his son and girlfriend. He works
for Sal and his two sons Vito and Pino who hold completely opposite attitudes when it comes to race. Then there is Radio Raheem who organizes a
boycott at Sal's pizza parlor because of the lack of racial diversity on their wall of fame.
As the movie begins you become well aware of the fact that the people who...show more content...
Sal should have realized that in order to keep his business alive he would have to not only tolerate but learn to respect his customers. Since it
seemed in the movie that the area had an invasion of African Americans and Sal along with his sons were annoyed by that fact. It was almost as
if it were a resistance towards them, to make them realize who's territory they were on.
The tension in this film eventually built up to the point of senseless violence against each other. This just proves that there is no room for
accommodation and cooperation of any kind in the near future. It would work best if all groups could come to a mutual understanding of each
other and except the fact that they must learn to live in peace and as neighbors.
If I were a film critic I would give this film four and a half stars. It was well made and the actors were excellent. Although I have little to no
experience living in a situation such as the one in the movie, I feel as though the lifestyle of these particular characters were portrayed
truthfully. It was a culture shock to me, and the fact that it was most likely taken from real life is amazing in my mind. This movie not only
made me think about the world as a whole but made me realize how incredibly lucky I am to have grown up in the environment in which I have
lived in my entire life.
