Do the Right Thing

An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. Usually, that would be the review, but finishing this film makes me understand at least a little about what has and unfortunately continues to happen in the United States. it's racial commentary is again, incredible, and again this film is to me what I think of when racial tensions are often mentioned in the us (coming from an outside perspective), and albeit unfortunately, the timelessness of police brutality, racial tensions in the country, etc. This grapples with the concept so well, not coming out as preachy, or pretentious either. As a film, it's vibrant, very lively, camera movement and overall composition of some of the shots is incredible, the use of fight the power (rip radio raheem) is so perfect that honestly, it's irreplaceable. plus I grew attached to some of the characters, like you people don't understand how much I love da mayor, I genuinely was in pain at the thought they might have killed him. and really, this movie has no real flaws, as a movie and as commentary. Overall, very expositionary and thought-provoking, which I don't normally go crazy over, but all the better. And that's the truth, Ruth !
