Do The Right Thing - Sal and Pino talking

[KleWdSide]

The end with Pino freaking out was all improvised.

[granpuba]

Sal is a good guy

[RobRobertTheMovieGuy]

What do you mean THESE people Aiello? Hmm?

[Tusc9969]

@RobRobertTheMovieGuy lol

[GETURPOPCRNRDY1]

Poor Smiley :(

[adaminverted]

powerful scene

[eddievenegas]

So in the end they burn down Sal's Pizza and then like always they bitch that there's no jobs or decent places to eat. What do they expect ?

[midnight1963]

I feel so bad for Smiley, I mean that he's disabled and lives in a bad neighborhood. John Turturro I thought was kind of an asshole for yelling at him. Again, it's so sad. If he sold me a picture I'd pay 10 dollars. cause i feel so bad.

[myboyz24]

leave that boy alone, you KNOW he ain't right!

[TROLLERSDELIGHT]

F-F-F-F-Fuck Yuuuuuu!!

[KenneWilleJ1102]

F-ff-fff-f uck you

[deezvids]

Smiley is a laugh riot!! :-D

[killaplay300]

Everything Tutorro says is right infinte times over. And when he says get a job to the black guy, the guy sayd back you get a job. Its only true italians work hard while the ghetto blacks in the hood are on welfare

[granpuba]

@killaplay300 You obviously didn't learn anything from this movie.... LOL

[daddysparkz]

3:54 (smiley) have me dying when I see that scene.

[ForcheAlex]

This scene is amazing

[WallaceFord0320]

Smiley looks like Forrest Gump!

[machokingwwf]

All the while they're talking, the Korean Grocery Store just looms quietly in the background.

[ShadoWGlideR1]

lmao "its like planet of the apes"

[NorthPhillyLivin]

great movie. Love it

[mrflask]

In my opinion Sal is one of my favorite characters in any movie. I think he gets misunderstood however. I personally don't thinks he is racist, he is just nice to all and mean to all. If any other person walked into his pizzeria with that music, black white or Asian he would have been just as mad. but i also feel that because he is surrounded by racism he breaks down and trashes the radio.

[BigBastard67]

@mrflask my thoughts also

[mykeymike]

shoot in 1 take, Music Builds up great with the scene, the zoom uptil 1.35, the father son conversation. difference in looking at the situation, pride

great scene.

[Sierra688]

Great film. The racial shit will never end.

[longo888]

LMAO.

[jhaul21]

"it's like i come to work and it's planet of the apes" hahaha

[andyth55]

Great scene.

Topped off with Bill Lee's fantastic musical score and Branford Marsalis great sax.

Superb movie, too.

[TheBossdave]

I always find it so funny how blacks and italians seem to dislike each other when they both seem so similar especially when it comes to stereotypes. Examples include being overly emotional, violent, superstitious, promiscuous, and the biggest one, being part of the criminal underworld. Thats the one that Blacks and Italians will never be able to escape for a long time. Sad shit.

[vidlivs]

@TheBossdave Blacks and Italians not being able to escape the underworld...Yeah, I guess you mean in much the same way that Russians, Chinese, Anglosaxons and Jews, South American, and any other group won't escape your so-called criminal underworld...Are you fuck'n kidding, or are you intentionally being naive? This sounds like the same thing idiots like you would have said about Irish-Catholic Fenian or even Scottish settlers, and French Acadians in the past. You must be a fuck'n WASP.

[irishcatholicladdie]

"get a FUCKIN JOB, man!" LOL! classic.

this is a great film.

[WizardOfHumor1989]

The scene with Pino's confrontation with Smiley kicks bad ass!

Especially when Smiley shouts "FA FA FA FA FU-FU-FUCK-YA-YA-YA-YOU!!".

[irishcatholicladdie]

@WizardOfHumor1989 ha-ha!! yeh that was quality... poor smiley

"get da fuck outta here, man! get da fuck outta here!" lol.

[sgb2112]

Turns out Pino was right because the moolies burned the place down for no reason. They should have sold the place. White flight is right.

[getyoasshome]

you're an idiot...you dont get it.

[DoDoubleGc]

@sgb2112 they burned it down cause radio raheem got killed by the police after the fight

[pytko3]

Sal makes a very good point. If your friends laugh at you like that, then they aren't your friends.

[alexgomez83]

Give em Hell mookie!!!!!

[rep850]

in my diversity and justice class i writting a paper on how your assigned character did the right thing i got assigned PINO this is a tough really because i can't stand his ass but i hope i get a A i luv this movie released when police brutality racial tension and hip hop culture was at a high i was pissed when they killed radio raheem idk but i probably would have reacted like mookie (lee) did i luved when mookie went to go get paid SPIKE LEE you deserved the award not DRIVIN MRS. DAISY

[QuietGiantProduction]

I could help you out but I haven't seen this movie in a while. Good luck though

[rep850]

thanx

[alexgomez83]

Pino is only reacting to what he feels inside. You cant look at the fact that he is a racist jerk, you have to try to look at his point of view. The guy gets hassled by his friends about working at a black neighborhood. In order to fit in with his friends, he thinks he has to hate blacks even though deep down he likes them. His insecurities force him to go on the offensive against others who are different.

[DG3744]

@alexgomez83 this is how most Italians act!! they hate blacks but deep down inside they wanna be like them!!

[jackstein104]

@DG3744 nah they just don't like the fact that there as poor as black people in new york

[3rdbass618]

@alexgomez83 that just goes to show what type of mentality he has. Even if he wanted to hang with a black person he can't. Because he let his friends, which is his own people control him. Ain't nothing wrong with having pride in your race. But as far as being your own individual, you should be able to work wherever you want or hang out with whoever you want. No matter how anybody else feel about it.

[pandasweater]

@alexgomez83 The fact Pino is afraid to express how he feels on the inside despite being a grown ass man is sad.

[MobKnowledge]

@pandasweater Well he is still essentially a child. He calls his father "daddy" and still feels the need to bully his younger brother as if they were teenagers.

[BevHillsKid]

@rep850

Diversity and Justice LOL What nigger loving bullshit will these liberals think of next?

[donaldTfox]

awesome movie. a bit overstated at times, but an important film. especially when shown to those ignorant of racial tensions not just in America, but the world over. a great and "terrible" film.

[The1andOnlyMadvibez]

Im black and I like the planet of the apes line haha

[The1andOnlyMadvibez]

Leave that boy alone you know he aint right haha god damn

[garageman1989]

I wonder what the name of the jazz song playing in the background is.

[scudder91]

my favourite ever line in a movie: "you oughta boycott the god damn barber who fucked up your head."

[xxAO2012xx]

what was this movie about?

and is spike lee really racist?

[GileadsArmy]

This movie is about doing the "right thing." (perhaps in the midst of racial tension and injustice? That I'm still unsure)

And no, spike lee is not racist. I think Spike takes a fair portrayal of racial tension in US in this time period.

[xxAO2012xx]

thats what I thought, many people in the video said he was..

I wish he could make a movie like this with the racial tension just with less cursing so everyone could watch...

[scudder91]

difficult to see how one would arrive at such a conclusion. what the movie says is that most people, most of the time, want to coexist peacefully, untill circumstances push them towards tradgedy. the most concise example of this idea at work is the brilliant "boycott sals" excerpt. (See top right) :-)

[mttm06]

This movie had great acting, Aiello, Turturro, Spike Lee ect. Great movie

[lupoistheman1]

@mttm06,

Aiello, Spike Lee, Bill Nunn, Giancarlo Esposito, Turturro, Ossie Davis, Richard Edson and Ruby Dee were all superb. Great film.

[PrettyThickMa09]

Robert Harris is funny as hell!!!! He told that nigga u get a job!!!!!!! LMMAO

[SaintIzzle]

This comment is for the one you made 5 months ago...."Do The Right Thing - Sal and Pino talking"

You called the late great ROBIN Harris....Robert Harris. Gotta correct you on effing up the legends, ma. I got to. If we cant get it right....no one will.

[yogafan6500]

Smiley, The retarded guy in that movie kinds of reminds me of Michael Palin in A Fish Called Wanda, he too is a stutterer.

[ThatCatB]

How he treated the retarded guy in this scene paints a picuture of his character as a horrible person. I mean, the guy is retarded. Leave him alone.

[ZePequenoFan]

He's a warrior. He's cold, because that's the environment he's in.

[K21H]

beautiful. aiello and turturro and richard edson make this movie! turturro is one of the best scene stealers in history!

[NookieMonsterr]

its like sals words didnt even affect pino.

[ultrakool]

Sal is the altruistic proprietor who built the business with his own two hands. Pino is just a son fed up with the bullshit that goes along with the business. Can't blame him.

[rusamene]

what track starts at 2:12? Sounds like Coltrane..amazing music, great scene from the great movie.

[Zarniwoop9]

don't know the track, it's branford marsalis. love that stuff

[andyth55]

The track is called 'Father to Son' and it's on the Bill Lee Musical Score soundtrack.
