Do the Right Thing...well, let me start off by saying the beginning made my expectations for the movie relatively high. I was finally watching a movie with some substenance; a movie that was actually worth watching. I don't know the racial prejudice and the 'hard-knock life' is the kind of an inspiring movie...well, usually.
Anyway, this movie had a great beginning and a realistic story-line;however, seriously a curse word after every intelligent word? Think about it, if you cut out every curse word the movie could have been like 35 minutes long and the plot would have been close to the same. The sexual inuendos by the 3 'old guys' was a bit over the top as well. Were they needed for the plot? Maybe a little bit to show the 'old guys' attitude in life, but did we have to keep flashing back to them?
Okay, so the movie didn't end as it should...in my opinion. The Asian shopkeepers go unbothered, for the most part, the 'good guys' get kicked out. What is the matter with this picture? Aren't the good guys supposed to win?
I thought that at the end the African Americans and the Italians would learn to love each other and still hate the whites. I mean all the cops were white, setting them up as racial creeps. So I didn't expect us to all get along and live happily ever after, but I did have some expectations for the Italians and African Americans, I mean they lived in peace for decades, according to the Italian restaurant owner.
I didn't realize that the African Americans would follow the futile attempt of getting African American pictures on the wall of an Italian Restaurant when the restaurant owner is ITALIAN!!
Well, I guessed wrong, and the movies kinda went down the tubes for me....no real ending, I mean what happens to the boys kid? Does the boy and his girlfriend stay together? The last thing she says was not to come back, but he says almost at the very end he has a baby to feed; so what happens?
