Title: searing portrayal of race!
Review: though it's rather simplistic, and resorts to stereotypes, spike's do the right thing is probably the best american movie made about race. you have blacks, whites, asian, latinos, immigrants, all sweating together on the hottest day of the year in brooklyn. each group has it's foibles, and spike takes potshots at them all, including, and perhaps most intensely, black americans. the scene where each character one by one lists the racists stereotypes of the other ethnic group is hilarious, but also spot on, because it rings true somehow.i don't know of another movie that tackles race head on and does it in a way that makes you laugh and also makes you cry. plus, the movie was filmed gorgeously, with rich, vibrant hues, and the soundtrack is one of the best of all times (old school hip hip and new jack city r&b;, plus a killer jazz score).
