Do the Right Thing - Kuuma päi
トーク情報- amankai
amankai This movie to me was really funny. The inner city bickering and arguments, and telling people off, then still being friends was very funny to me. I like to see fights and arguments even though the ending wasn't funny it taught a lot of people lessons and it made people who watched the movie sit back and think about it. Some people don't like it because they think its "stupid" but i really liked it and thought a lot of the parts were funny. The filming was great except the parts you could tell when the cop car wasn't moving etc. This movie was excellent, with the "Mayor" doing something right even though everyone thinks hes just a pain. I thought this movie was simply amazing. (You can tell the newer the movie the better they get! In my opinion! Haha.

amankai Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" is a picture of a moment in time. A moment in time in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, with all its casual beauty of teeming life, well, as teeming as life can be when the relentless sun makes the blood boil. This particular moment in eternity lasts a day and we follow the lives of the black community and an Italian pizzeria owner and his sons, who have established themselves in the 'hood. This is a flic made by black people about racial tensions, shot entirely on location and basically portrays the real thing with some dramatic artistic license. The cast of black actors works right down to the bit parts, providing the necessary authenticity for the milieu the movie tries to depict. Spike Lee himself is outstanding, but so is Ossie Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Turturro and others, but the Oscar nominated Danny Aiello gives the performance of his lifetime as the owner of the local pizza parlor caught in the center of the emerging trouble.

amankai Spike Lee shows two sides of the same coin with death and destruction written on it. Flip it as you will. The director doesn't judge the two sides. He happens to play a character in his film, and all of them have flaws, Lee's Mookie included. Only "Da Mayor" the old man, raises the voice of conscience and reminds everyone: Do the right thing! But is someone listening to the voice of reason when the hottest day of the year brings the harsh urban reality to the forefront? The mayhem that ensues follows the simple rule of consequence where one thing leads to another to inevitably snowball into a catastrophe. It leaves lives in shambles. The only thing that becomes apparent is that the fight isn't over, it's just not the fight against each other that can make any difference. There are no easy answers, but there's not much choice left, and it is dictated by a simple truth: We got to fight the power that be - and that's the triple truth, Ruth.
