DO THE RIGHT THING - Spike Lee (1989)
It's hot in Bedford Stuyvesand, Brooklyn, NYC, very hot. Mookie (Spike Lee) works to Sal, who loves the work and its pizzeria and its racist son, Vito and Pino (Danny Aiello, Richard Edson and John Turturro). Everyone crosses, often without seeing: an old tramp soûlaud mid-mid-philosopher nicknamed "The Mayor (Ossie Davis), the simpleton Smiley (Roger Guenveur Smith) who sells pictures of Malcolm and Martin Luther King, Mother Sister (Ruby Dee), Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn) makes
spit hip hop bottom of his post stereo, Hispanos, the kids who open fire hydrants to cool off and the voice of Mister Señor Love radio DJ Daddy (Samuel L. Jackson) ... The plot thickens when Buggin Out (Giancarlo Esposito) is launching a boycott of Sal's pizzeria for the lack of African-Americans on his wall full of pictures. And finally when everything goes wrong Sal and his son become confused with Radio Raheem.
Mookie has a choice to make: "The Right Thing !
his release, the film is portrayed as a real firebrand, the low-brow to the are an incitement to racial hatred and riots (the worst fantasies are still circulating in the release of a film master Lee). Presented in Cannes, Wim Wenders-p resident of the jury this year, strongly opposed assigning the palm. Spike Lee, now more integrated into the world of cinema , has celebrated with great pump in the summer of 2009, 20 years, and the film has not aged ! The stifling heat is present throughout the film, the color are pushed, reddened, Spike Lee us to share the rising tension of the day suffocating, rivaling find technical plans and a sublime shooting situ.
The film takes a look full of contradictions and finesse on racial problems in the U.S., away from his opponents that Manichaeism lend to Spike Lee. There is no "right answer", there is no community more legitimate, less racist ... Provided the film is not neutral, quite the contrary, it is a position of Spike Lee / Mookie which may or may not adhere. He leaves us a choice between "The Mayor" and he, between Martin Luther and Malcolm. And it would be wrong to oppose really two choices, I think Spike Lee offers two alternatives, not as opposed but as complementary, as facets of a single battle (like the rings of Radio Raheem), and "victory" of One of these alternatives as temporary and inevitable. 
The family is still at an appointment with a small role in his sister Joie Lee, and the soundtrack entrusted to the father, Bill Lee, the favorite actors also: Roger Guenveur Smith, Bill Nunn, Giancarlo Esposito ... along with the glories of African American cinema Paul Benjamin (who starred in several films Blax 'good bill: Across The 110th 
Street, Sonny Carson The Education Of , Friday Foster ...), "The Mayor" is played by the great actor and director Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee his wife embodies the Old Mother Sister. Also we mention the presence of the actress, dancer and choreographer (especially the show In Living Color ) Rosie Perez, Robin Harris (who died after his role in Pop House Party) and Frankie Faison Steve White, Leonard L. Thomas Eddy Smith and stunt-founder of the Black Stuntmen's Association, and David S. Lomax ... the famous African-American stunt who created it.
