Do the Right Thing1989
It's the hottest day of the summer. You can do nothing, you can do something, or you can...
Sal is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin' Out, becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.

Sal is not ready for a new political world, whose dawn Lee sketches out here, in which it is not enough simply to refrain from making overtly racist gestures: omission or erasure is equally insulting.
1989年戛纳主竞赛+奥斯卡最佳原创剧本和男配提名；据说是斯派克·李生涯最佳。对美国种族问题的一个分析式的图解，以黑人为主的街区同时有（意大利裔）白人、拉丁裔、亚裔等族群，炎热的一天因为一件关乎“政治正确”的小事儿逐渐升级的事态，并以打砸抢烧而告终。有很精到的对黑人问题，以及文化/情感结构的剖析（穿黑色背心的Vito大概是写的最棒的wigger角色了）；不过嘴炮实在是多的让人厌倦，另外斯派克李的电影结尾似乎一直有问题……这个剧本当年能拿提名都是胜利了要什么自行车！此外一直让我困惑，已经三十出头的斯派克·李本人，是怎么驻颜有术地让自己在片子里扮演的Mookie看起来还像个十几岁的少年的！
It comes closer to reflecting the current state of race relations in America than any other movie of our time.
