Do the Right Thing
its perpetual relevance aside, do the right thing is truly some of the most magnificent filmmaking ever. the world building, the blocking and framing, its famous color palette, etc. are all so brilliant. it’s just an astonishing piece of visual cinema that also happens to have more depth and character than almost any film I’ve ever seen.
it’s been one of my favorite movies ever since I was a teenager, and yet as I get older, the sadness I feel when it’s over—the deep, nauseating bellyache and quaking lump in my throat—only grows larger and more potent :(
