Do The Right Thing(1989)
DOWNLOAD ---> https://urlca.com/2tkvBb
An open question near the end of the film is whether Mookie \"does the right thing\" by throwing the garbage can through the window, inciting the riot that destroys Sal's pizzeria. Some critics have interpreted Mookie's action as one that saves Sal's life by redirecting the crowd's anger away from Sal to his property, while others say that it was an \"irresponsible encouragement to enact violence\".[30] The quotations by two major Black leaders used at the end of the film provide no answers: one advocates nonviolence, the other advocates armed self-defense in response to oppression.[30]
Spike Lee has remarked that only White viewers ask him if Mookie did the right thing; Black viewers do not ask him the question.[31] Lee believes the key point is that Mookie was angry at the wrongful death of Radio Raheem, stating that viewers who question the riot are explicitly failing to see the difference between property damage and the death of a Black man.[28]
Radio Raheem: Let me tell you the story of Right Hand, Left Hand. It's a tale of good and evil. Hate: it was with this hand that Cain iced his brother. Love: these five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand: the hand of love. The story of life is this: static. One hand is always fighting the other hand, and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, Love, is finished. But hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that's right. Ooh, it's a devastating right and Hate is hurt, he's down. Left-Hand Hate KOed by Love.
Do the Right Thing is an exploding fire-hydrant of colliding extremes and blazing hatred, shrunk down into a tension-fueled environment overflowing with humanity, humor, danger, sadness, pain and violence. Spike Lee's masterwork doesn't just break down the foundations of 'right' and 'wrong'; it also comments on the despair and agony behind those established protocols. Do the Right Thing is important, commanding, vibrant, and necessary. There's no other way to describe it.
Lee suggests that, right or wrong, Mookie did the only thing he could do to express his anger. Which might also explain why as director he decides to end the movie with two seemingly contradictory quotes, one from Dr. Martin Luther King, insisting that violence is always counter-productive, the other from Malcolm X, endorsing violence when all else fails.

Been years since I watched it, but I always thought Mookie throws the trash can through the window to save Sal from getting killed, never got the impression that he finally gave in to hate (so he does end up doing the right thing).
If this sounds familiar, it should. After viewing, it is obvious why this film is circulating right now. It is June of 2020, roughly thirty years after this film came out, and the events almost mimic identically what we are seeing happen around the country at present. An unarmed black man is murdered openly in the street in front of onlookers, and it is treated with such complacency, such matter-of-fact, almost procedural laxity, that it is jarring. And when the police, the ones you would call, scamper off unaffected, the onlookers are left to stand in the streets, helpless and mortified. What does one expect to happen There was no justice. There was only loss. Everyone should be watching this right now, at the very least to understand how the events that have been taking place are not new. The murder of George Floyd or the murder of Breonna Taylor were not isolated events. These were not one-time accidents. These did not just start happening as a result of racism getting worse. These types of killings have been having for at least thirty years in this exact same way. 59ce067264
