Amazon.com essential video:
Spike Lee's incendiary look at race relations in America, circa 1989, is so colorful and exuberant for its first three-quarters that you can almost forget the terrible confrontation that the movie inexorably builds toward. Do the Right Thing is a joyful, tumultuous masterpiece--maybe the best film ever made about race in America, revealing racial prejudices and stereotypes in all their guises and demonstrating how a deadly riot can erupt out of a series of small misunderstandings. Set on one block in Bedford-Stuyvesant on the hottest day of the summer, the movie shows the whole spectrum of life in this neighborhood and then leaves it up to us to decide if, in the end, anybody actually does the "right thing." Featuring Danny Aiello as Sal, the pizza parlor owner; Lee himself as Mookie, the lazy pizza-delivery guy; John Turturro and Richard Edson as Sal's sons; Lee's sister Joie as Mookie's sister Jade; Rosie Perez as Mookie's girlfriend Tina; Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee as the block elders, Da Mayor and Mother Sister; Giancarlo Esposito as Mookie's hot-headed friend Buggin' Out; Bill Nunn as the boom-box toting Radio Raheem; and Samuel L. Jackson as deejay Mister Señor Love Daddy. A rich and nuanced film to watch, treasure, and learn from--over and over again. --Jim Emerson

Do the Right Thing, a Spike Lee joint, takes you into the heart of Bedford - Stuyvesant, Brooklyn on a sweltering summer day. Most of the entire film takes place over just one day. Though one day is a short amount of time, many issues arise. The issues, mostly rooted from racial conflict, are humorous but at the same time provocative and heartfelt.
The main character, Pookie played by director Spike Lee, works as a pizza delivery guy for Sal's Famous Pizzeria. Sal's Pizzeria is owned by ... Read More

Do the right thing concerns racial conflicts that take place every day on a block in Brooklyn. Throughout the entire movie it is tension filled and has an ending that smashes the blocks final racial breaking point. Every character in the movie is somewhat racist, even though there are glimpses of different races helping each other there is another scene right after to contradict the previous scene. There are no main characters in the movie; there is Mookie, the black pizza delivery boy, Sal the ... Read More
