Do The Right Thing Is A Beautifully Intense Film Directed...

Do the Right Thing is a beautifully intense film directed by the talented Spike Lee, which revolves around the very diverse community of the Bedford-Stuyvesant district of Brooklyn on a hot summer Sunday. Throughout the entire film, characters are faced with obstacles and injustices that bring up the grand question of what the â€Å"right thing† even is. One scene in particular sums up the whole premise of the film into a concise and poetic speech spoken by the one and only Radio Raheem. This scene is imperative to have in the film as well as for the viewers. Without this scene, the film itself would not have the same impact and possibly the same message it has already given all of its spectators. Radio Raheem is definitely an interesting character to say the least, just like many of the characters in this film; they individually embody an aspect of the microcosm they reside in. Some characters can be as apparent as â€Å"Buggin’ Out†. Not only is his name a term for losing control, but the character himself seems to cause trouble whenever he see’s a social injustice [no matter right or wrong on the subject]. Some can be more intricate like working man Mookie who lazes away day by day just waiting for his money at the end of it all. Although he is a man of the streets, a man that viewers like myself have grown fond of towards the films progression, Mookie is still a working-class man in this society, nothing more, and nothing less. As for Radio Raheem, he is a walking contradiction
