Film Description: Director Spike Lee dives head-first into a maelstrom of racial and social ills, using as his springboard the hottest day of the year on one block in Brooklyn, NY. Three businesses dominate the block: a storefront radio station, where a smooth-talkin' deejay (Samuel L. Jackson) spins the platters that matter; a convenience store owned by a Korean couple; and Sal's Famous Pizzeria, the only white-operated business in the neighborhood. Sal (Danny Aiello) serves up slices with his two sons, genial Vito (Richard Edson) and angry, racist Pino (John Turturro). Sal has one black employee, Mookie (Spike Lee), who wants to "get paid" but lacks ambition. His sister Jade (Joie Lee, Spike's sister), who has a greater sense of purpose and a "real" job, wants Mookie to start dealing with his responsibilities, most notably his son with girlfriend Tina (Rosie Perez). Two of Mookie's best friends are Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn), a monolith of a man who rarely speaks, preferring to blast Public Enemy's rap song Fight The Power on his massive boom box; and Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), nicknamed for his coke-bottle glasses and habit of losing his cool. When Buggin' Out notes that Sal's "Wall of Fame," a photo gallery of famous Italian-Americans, includes no people of color, he eventually demands a neighborhood boycott, on a day when tensions are already running high, that incurs tragic consequences.

Am I the only person that thinks Mookie wasn't doing this as an attack on Sal? I read it as Mookie redirecting the crowd's anger towards the property rather than Sal, possibly saving Sal and his sons from being mobbed. In its own warped and complicated way, I thought Mookie did the right thing, even if it may not have been the "best" way. This is why the ending is brilliant, it doesn't give the easy answers

did Cenk send anybody else here?

Maybe Mookie's motivation is intentionally unclear because you, as the audience, are supposed to decide for yourself what it means...same with the title..you are supposed to decide what the right thing is...Lee chooses not to spell it our for you

[zen2392]

Radio Raheem's death at the end of the movie, but you grow to like Sal's character during the movie. The end should be cathartic; the audience should outraged by Radio Raheem's death, but we're not because he was douche the whole movie. An extremely underwhelming and overrated movie.

[zen2392]

Sadly no. Spike Lee has clearly stated that the ending was meant to express the anger of the Radio Raheem character's death. There was no greater purpose. While your theory is a nice substitute, it isn't logical. Let's save lives by starting a riot? That could (and did) lead to further damage around the neighborhood. It could have led to further injuries and more possible deaths. The only thing that makes sense is Spike Lee's interpretation, which completely sucks. You don't feel sorry for...

[kidgoldenarms1]

thats what's up

[Superdude881]

Yes Mookie's acting was great!!! Obviously u didnt get the whole point of the title(movie)... Everyone was about to tear Sals ASS UP! and Mookie knew he didnt deserve it so he had to DO THE RIGHT THING, he thought of breaking the window to take the attention off Sal and set everyones frustration on the pizzaria in that moment.

[SykoYamakazian]

Holy shit, you're right.

[rewster7]

Sal is an Italian-American who is proud of his heritage. The wall-of-fame only consisted of Italian-Americans as a tribute to his culture. That is no way racist towards African-Americans, as it also does not include any other race, only Italian-Americans. Radio Raheem did not deserve to die at the hands of the racist police officer, but the way he behaved in Sal's restaurant was unwarranted.

[jackal59]

That's really interesting, and if Lee said it then it has to be the case. The prevalence of that wrong interpretation underscores a couple of the movie's problems, though, which are that Lee's not a good enough actor to make Mookie's motivation in the scene clear, and that motivation is not made clear in the script.
