Do The Right Thing

In class when we were discussing about if mookie "did the right thing", I noticed how how much emphasis Spike Lee really wanted that perticular scene to have, and how it reflects on the films message about racism. First off, I personally think that mookie had every right to be mad, since one of his good friends, radio rahim, was killed by the cops as a result of sal's pizzera. But, I also believe that by mookie throwing the garbage can, it did'nt solve anything, it just made everything get more out of hand.

I also agreed with Mr. Klobuchar on how radio rahim was asking for it the entire movie, and how it was actually his own fault that later ended up to him getting killed. I also agreed with how the cops had every right to hold him back, because he was resisting. Its not like the cops had arrested him, and then beaten him to death.

Overall, I really enjoyed this movie, because it has a great moral, but Lee also usses innovative ways of filming with using colors, or camera angles to give the story a third dimension type feeling to it. I also thought Lee did a great job of using humor to keep the audience entertained. In conclusion, I thought this perticular movie, out of all the movies we've watched, was by far the deepest in terms of having your own opinion, which I think is really cool.
