Spike Lee Forge's 1989 classic is a comedy with an angry side, one you need to see even after it's been on for more than three decades. On the hottest day of summer in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, tensions began to rise, which led to a major conflict. When police arrived to mediate the argument, they strangled one of the participants - a black man named Raheem - and killed him, then fled the scene. Lee dedicated the film to Eleanor Bumpurs, Michael Griffith, Arthur Miller Jr., Edmund Perry, Yvonne Smallwood and Michael Stewart, six victims of racist violence and police brutality. Upon its release, "Do the Right Thing" was criticized not for its depiction of police violence but because critics such as New York magazines Joe Klein and David Davidby said it could incite racial violence. Now, the film perfectly depicts how black people are discriminated against in America.
