Do The Right Thing

Do The Right Thing was amazing. It was by far my favorite movie that we have watched so far in class. The most interesting scene to me was the climax of the story where the people of the neighborhood riot and destroy Sal's Pizzeria. It is where all the racial tension finally explodes between the characters. I thought that the DJ starting such a commotion was bothersome but I thought that Sal way overreacted. Even though it was both their faults, I did not think that either of them deserved the punishment that they received, Sal's Pizzeria being destroyed or DJ being killed by the cop. I also liked the way that each audience member is able to analyze why Mookie threw the garbage can through the window. I thought that he did it to start the riot because he was so fed up with everything and could not hold his composure anymore but lots of people have different views. That was my favorite scene because it is the culmination of all the anger and the small fights. I loved this movie and pretty much every scene within it but the riot scene was by far my favorite.
