Movie Reviews of Do the Right Thing
Movie Review: The single best movie of the '80s!
Summary: 5 Stars
With such films as BLADE RUNNER, BLOOD SIMPLE, RAGING BULL and E.T., the 1980s gave us a diverse range of challanging cinema. But it wasn't until the late summer of the last year of the decade did we get a small film by Spike Lee about racial tension on the hottest day of the summer in Brooklyn; and it hit us all like a sledgehammer!
Even as the film spends most of its time painting a pleasant and often touching side of American life in Brooklyn, the viewer can feel the tension mounting as the day draws closer to night, until inevitable a racial riot break out and one person is left dead.
This was a movie with a strong message, which, 16 years later, unfortunately, we as a society still don't seem to get.
Movie Review: Film Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is still Spike Lee's greatest film and a powerhouse. I have a personal favorite but I like this one very much. A hot Brooklyn day, a pizza place, a black neighborhood and an Italian pizza parlor combine together in a violent night. It creates strong emotions and one can really identify with the people living in this neighborhood. Spike Lee is great in his films and should consider acting more often. Very moving and will stay with you long after. I've seen it several times and the impact is the same as it was when it was initially released. It's sad that nothing has changed all that much and may have gotten worse in spots. New York City is better but other cities have fallen behind.Movie Review: One of my favorite 10 movies of all time...
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1989 when this film was released I was in a coming of age period. I was 16 years old. The realism of this movie was astounding and Spike did not hold back. It was drama, comedy and cinema paradisio all in one. The sound track was awesome as well. It is a movie that I still yearn to watch in it's entirety everytime I come across it. I still feel that this is Spike Lee's best film and it will always have a special place in my thoughts. I would give it 10 stars if I could. It has been several years since I have seen it last. Now that I am a mature woman in my mid thirties I will watch and critique it again soon, to see if any of my feelings have changed, It's highly doubtful.Movie Review: Incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
Such a glorious examination of a cultural melting pot bubbling over on one hot day in New York. As the strains of Public Enemy filter in and out of the film, I watched in complete disarray oblivious to the imminent explosion of diverse ethnicities. A ghetto blaster, a pizza box, and a jumping rope are all symbols of the automatons that drive this otherwordly film. Spike Lee is a master of urban tales, a 21st Century Tennyson, Lee pastes together a visual and verbal exposition of love and hate colliding. ZDMovie Review: spike lee is the only person who could have made this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
he's so earnest and unthreatening and funny. there will never be another movie like this. it is heart warming and scary and deals with racism in a way that a movie studio wouldn't have the guts to. this is one of the most important films in cinematic history. so many people i know say they hate it and hate spike lee, but then i find out that they never saw it or any spike lee movie. i don't know why people dislike him so much. if you've never seen a spike lee movie, start here.
