Lee, Spike: Do the right Thing
DO
THE RIGHT THING
(by Spike
Lee)
Producer: black
man - a classic genre of violent movies - violence calminating in
a
catastrophe
Mooky:
the black employee in the pizzeria - photos of white Americans on the wall -
complains about photos
One day in
NYC: humid day (schwül) - immigrants
from Italy - father and his two sons - they own a pizzeria in a ‘black
part’ of NY - tricky situation - they are prejudiced against the blacks in
their neighbourhood - but they need them - they are dependent on them - NY is a
big melting pot of nations - aggressions on both sides (b/w) keeps on growing -
one day Mooky comes in with a big loud radio
à fight -
police comes and one of them kills a black man in his anger - then they set fire
to the restaurant
à total
destruction
Message: a
small unimportant issue (Anlaß) may cause a violent explosion - nobody
actually is to blame
uncontrolled violence destroys everything -
violence is let run wild - it can’t be brought under control any more -
disregarding guilt (Schuld) and innocence (Unschuld)
à mass
hysteria
