Do the Right Thing-8/10

One of the cinema classics to revisit. In this film, Spike Lee has successfully created many small characters with distinctive personalities. They have their own ways of speaking and behavior, which reminds me of Wang Shuo's works. The script is well written and with great care. In addition, as a black director, Spike Lee was able to present racial issues in this most approachable way, allowing each audience to evaluate and examine themselves. This clever choice demonstrates Spike Lee’s excellence and his Of bravery. The Korean stick's phrase "You black! We black too!" in the movie is really intriguing. . In addition, I finally know the real source of the phrase "You da man do the right thing!"

    Everyone's screaming from start to finish, but it just makes you feel like everyone's real and cute, until the end of the irreversible riot. Spike Lee has pride, confidence, and introspection on the black neighborhood. Why are Koreans able to open a food store within a year of coming, while a few black old men sit on the street and drink beer all their lives? Italians who refuse to post pictures of black people in restaurants can bring disaster, but what did the Asians on the opposite side do wrong? Ironically, the one who put the photo on the blackened wall at the end was a white mentally retarded. The title dances and sings "fight the power". In fact, what is really going to be fought is more than power. The director was so young back then.

    I can't tell whether it's human violence or the effect of the heat. The last half hour of the outbreak in the warm community realism is too exciting. The problems are complex and profound, but most of the direct conflicts that can be described as failures end up full of absurdities that the participants are unaware of. All aspects involved in a big mess have been condensed into a small scene, and the analysis is clean. The film is eloquent, and it doesn't say much about its position, because the point is not to argue about who is right and who is wrong, but to be objective and sober introspection. Many details remind me of a certain port today.
