Do the Right Thing	comment	A 1989 Spike Lee joint about bigotry and racism. Often considered one of Lee's signature films, it's known as much for its content and ever-relevant themes as it is for its initial controversial reception among audiences and for being snubbed at the Oscars in favor of Driving Miss Daisy.Mookie (Spike Lee) is a delivery man for Sal (Danny Aiello), the Italian-American owner of a pizza joint in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. One hot summer day, a friend of Mookie's, Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), notices that Sal's "Wall of Fame" has only photos of Italian celebrities. Irritated, Buggin' Out argues that Sal should put some black celebrities' pictures on the wall, since most of his customers — and most of the neighborhood's residents — are black; Sal, equally irritated, argues that it's his restaurant and he can decorate it how he likes.It's a small argument over a minor issue. It shouldn't be a big deal. But today is the hottest day of the summer. And sooner or later, that unbearable heat is going to bring the simmering racial tension in this neighborhood to a violent and quite literal boiling point...

Do the Right Thing / int_1616e13	comment	Ripped from the Headlines: This film was inspired by an actual incident in the city where some black youths were chased out of a pizzeria by some white youths in a section of the city known as Howard Beach. Radio Raheem's death was inspired by Michael Stewart's, a graffiti artist who was likewise choked by NYPD officers in 1983.

During more intense scenes, however, his expression, while unchanging, comes off as being one of quiet intensity rather than tiredness.

Mookie is something of a slacker but clearly cares for his son and is respected in the community. Pino is a racist jerkass whose own friends don't respect him, but he truly loves his family. Buggin' Out is a militant Malcolm X wannabe whose righteous anger at the world's injustices is misdirected at Sal, who despite his fiery temper and repressed racism has never really acted on his prejudice or wronged anyone in the community.

Do the Right Thing / int_4781adbb	comment	Jerk with a Heart of Gold: A large number of the cast are either bigoted, ignorant, or short-tempered, but most of them are shown to have softer sides. The most notable examples are Mookie, who is generally a decent guy who is popular with just about everyone in the neighborhood despite his Lazy Bum tendencies, and Sal, who, while curmudgeonly, still tends to be reasonable and even kind to others. The fact that almost everyone has some redeeming qualities makes the eventual Downer Ending all the more depressing.

Buggin' Out even looked offended at the bat gesture and being called "a troublemaker." This is particularly displayed when Raheem, Buggin' and Smiley enter his store at the end to confront him. Of course, that could be just because they keep getting on his case. It's a very ambiguous case, indeed, but screaming racial slurs at his customers sorta tips the scale.

Pino harshly brings up Planet of the Apes (1968) when talking to Sal about how he feels like he's surrounded by animals every day when he works at the black people-frequented pizzeria. There's also a sequence of speeches (see Flowery Insults above) which reference an old Pepsi Cola ad. ("Lip smacking, thirst quenching, ace-tasting, motivating, good buzzing, cool talking, high walking, fast living, ever-giving, cool fizzing...") Punchy is apparently a fan of Black Panther, as he's seen reading a Black Panther comic by Jack Kirby, and even mentions the character by name: At one point during his radio show, Mister SeÃ±or Love Daddy does a "roll call" wherein he name-checks a veritable Who's Who of black musicians.

It's also worth pointing out that in the final argument, Sal began to use the N-word only after Buggin' Out called him a "Guinea bastard" first. Coconut Sid also counts as one, as he gives Sonny, the Korean shop owner, a hard time, accusing him of coming right off the boat. ML and Sweet Dick Willie call him out on it, reminding him that he's an immigrant too. Pino is racist towards African-Americans, yet his favourite movie star is Eddie Murphy, his favourite musician is Prince and his favourite athlete is Michael Jordan.
