"Do the Right Thing" chronicles race relations between a black population and three intruding white business owners in Bed-Stuy New York, which I feel masterfully portrays how stupid racism is. The film starts off very relaxed, but as the heat burns on racism and hatred start popping up everywhere. One scene which I feel shows the stupidity of racism is when a character of each race starts shouting racist slang directly at the camera. It shows how all of these people are racist against each other, which basically them all the same, hence there should be no racism.
The Film Climax's with a violent riot, where people are killed and shops are burned. Mookie arguably the main character starts the riot by throwing a garbage can through the window of Sal's restaurant. It gets ransacked and burned. Mookie didn't do the right thing, there are better ways to get over the grief of loosing a loved one, that destruction. P.S. I loved the intro Rosie Perez is a bomb dancer.
