Spike Lee's movie and the actors Martin Lawrence and Samuel L. Jackson
Both have the power to do the right thing when the situation calls for it. They were able to do so because they were able to see what's right and wrong for themselves and others. In fact, these movies were able to show that doing the right thing is easier than doing the wrong thing.
Spike Lee's film
One of Spike Lee's best films of 1989 was "Do the Right Thing." The film features great acting, an interesting layout, and a sense of accomplishment that is hard to find in a mainstream movie. Though its themes are based on race and nationalism, they also represent issues of discrimination and racism.
Do the Right Thing was released at the height of hip-hop culture
so the aesthetics were bold. A song by Public Enemy, "Fight the Power," is heard in the background of the movie. Spike Lee is not afraid to take risks, and he did so here.
Samuel L. Jackson
The film was inspired by Stephen King's short story of the same name. Jackson, who plays the role of Gerald, a hotel manager, goes toe to toe with John Cusack's paranormal investigator Mike and the megalomaniacal Richmond Valentine, who has a sinister plan to kill as many people as he can. Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of the Stephen King short story is a fun and outrageous ride, and Jackson is perfectly suited for the heightened violence and comedy.
While 'Do the Right Thing' is not as serious as its predecessors
the movie does have its fair share of laughs and heartbreak. In the film, a pheromone is used to make exotic snakes hostile and released onto a plane, where they attempt to kill a witness. The young woman's boyfriend, played by Christina Ricci, is an immigrant from Mexico, who uses his help to protect the innocent people on the plane.
Martin Lawrence
Martin Lawrence is an icon in the comedy world, and he has a storied career. He started as a boxer as a teenager and went on to become a stand-up comedian. Later, he starred in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and What's Happening Now! and he even had his own TV show. It was a ratings success for five years, and he won two NAACP Image Awards.
Lawrence has played a wide variety of roles in his career
ranging from stand-up comedian to actor to film producer. As of 2017, he is 57 years old and has starred in 35 movies. Do the Right Thing received a 7.7 rating on The Movie Database.
Rosie Perez
Rosa Perez is an American actress, dancer, choreographer, and activist. She gained fame with her roles in Do the Right Thing and White Men Can't Jump. Her performance in these movies earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Her role in Do the Right Thing helped pave the way for her success in Hollywood.
Rosie Perez grew up in a difficult environment
She suffered physical, emotional, and mental abuse. As a child, she had to depend on her aunt and sisters for everything. But she did not give up and she accepted an offer to audition for director Spike Lee's film. The role allowed her to experience her first nude scene. Though she was uncomfortable with the experience, Perez said she did not mind doing it again in a different movie.
Tawana Brawley rape case
While the Tawana Brawley rape trial was a controversial case, it also highlighted the importance of thoroughness in the justice system. The case, which was documented in the recent documentary "Scandalous: The Mysterious Story of Tawana Brawley," rekindled racial tensions and highlighted the need for thoroughness in the justice system.
The case began when police responded to a suspicious-looking bag on the lawn of a Wappinger Falls condominium
They found 15-year-old Tawana Brawley, covered in feces, cut clothing, and racial epithets. She had been held hostage by a gang of white men, who repeatedly raped her. Her case attracted the attention of black activists, who believed that the civil rights movement had been smeared with the case. Moreover, black activists alleged that the Irish Republican Army was involved in the case.
Racism in New York City
The New York City Board of Health has declared racism in the city a public health crisis, marking the first step in combating health inequities among communities of color. A resolution issued by the board calls for specific measures to combat systemic racism, including improving access to healthcare and investing in critical infrastructure.
Racism in New York City is a longstanding issue
Although the city is culturally diverse, there is often a history of discrimination. The city is especially notorious for racial tensions, which often have roots in disputes over policing and resource allocation. Segregation in the housing market has lowered the value of real estate in some neighborhoods, especially those with a high percentage of Latino and Black residents.
