Title: Spike Lee's Masterpiece
Review: Every filmmaker has one truly shining moment above all others, and I daresay Spike himself would admit he'll never top this film.That this film passed by unrewarded by most moviegoers at the time of its release (certainly by the Academy Awards), the joke turns out to be on them, as most films from '89 have aged beyond belief, while "Do The Right Thing" remains as powerful and vital as it was then.The casting is brilliant, including John Turturro, Danny Aiello (and a young Martin Lawrence), Bill Nunn, Ruby Dee, and Samuel L. Jackson, the screenplay is excellent, and the direction is without peer. Spike would go on to use the same techniques for subsequent films such as "Jungle Fever", "Mo Better Blues", and "He Got Game", but never with the same effect as on this one.If you're building a video or DVD library, it isn't complete without this movie.
