Do the Right Thing

“I got it, I’m gone.” This film is just a breath of fresh air. Loved every second of it. Everybody is this fantastic ensemble delivers fantastic preformences, the Italians too. The only other Spike Lee I’ve seen was Black Kkklansman which was very good, but this absolutely surpasses it. The stylization of the entire film kept me engaged. Starting with the first shot. Just personality in every frame. Script was so good and gives every character its own spotlight. It’s everything I like in film. And the fact that this is still prevalent today in 2024? Crazy. And a core theme of the film that I picked up on was the clashing of two ideas brought by two civil rights leaders which gets emphasized in the beginning and really drives it home with the ending conflict and the quotes. Definitely something different than I’ve sever seen before. Going in I was not expecting it to be this good with it being 56 on the top 250, but after watching, extremely deserved.
