On a sweltering hot day in a Brooklyn neighborhood, everyone has their own issues to deal with and tensions between Blacks and Italians rise.

Wake up! Wake up! Up you wake!
I love this Movie and love the Soundtrack too.
Spike Lee was a bit up himself to act as the principle character and its a bit preachy in places too, that said this is still a great film, even if they perhaps didn't do the right thing!
I remember watching this when it first came out and i loved it then and still love it now. This movie called on a lot of emotions. i laughed so hard, cried, was happy, pissed...and lot's more. In my opinion this is one of the work of Spike lee to date. Excellent story, excellent ...( read more)cast and another timeless piece. This should be a must see for everyone!!!!
It's really hard to know what to make of this film. It's an undeniable snapshot of its time and place, rooted inextricably in Brooklyn in 1989. The environment of this film almost speaks louder than its plot, characters or undercurrent of racial tensions combined: its pervasive a...( read more)ttitudes and tight-knit community inform every other element in the story. I especially like the way all these tensions and grudges culminate and boil over on the hottest day of the year. The dialogue is a thing to behold and I love the way every character is tied to almost every other. Do The Right Thing is a movie about a chunk of people muddling through life, pissing each other off, showing deep love to each other and just trying to get by. Again, it's hard to sum up this film.
I don't use the term "classic" lightly but, now that twenty years have past, it's time to give Do the Right Thing it's due.
I'm not sure how I feel about Spike Lee's style. his style of filmmaking is such that he wants to entertain you and make you laugh, but he also wants to me make you uncomfortable at the same time. I give this film tremendous credit for being a controversial and thought-provokin...( read more)g conversation-starter. personally I found it difficult to fully enjoy and I thought it was a bit preachy, but overall this is a very smart, honest, and well-crafted film.
Hmm I wonder what Spike is trying to tell us with all these black people and white people having tense relations...
Despite the fact that much of its retrospective significance seems to be buried in a stream of parodies and pretentious notoriety for Spike Lee, Do the Right Thing persists as a hilarious, emotional, and blunt exercise in filmmaking, with a style that is undeniably young and blac...( read more)k. Sure, several of the characters seem to do completely out of character things in the end, and things become a bit dramatic, but isn't this in and of itself a commentary on the buried nature of racism and its perpetuating effects (it is).
this movie was great and meaningful without straight out telling you the message.
