Negative Positive
Title: A good idea sadly realized
Review: Unfortunately for Mr. Lee, I think this film backfired in a lot of people's eyes. I am a Latino American, but by the end of the film I had way more respect for Sal and the Korean family than I did for the black characters unfortunately. Radio Raseem and Buggin' Out where violence instigators and harassing troublemakers who had no business telling Sal who he should put on his wall. Mookie is nothing but a degenerate loser who deserved a beating, as well as the mentally challenged half white half black idiot walking around stuttering about Malcolm X and Dr. King.Sal was only defending his business and the right to be proud of his heritage. The wisest words come from the Korean store clerk who tells a bunch of racist old farts "You...me...we same!"This film wanted to delve into the roots of racism and say that no side is guilt-free, but this is unlikely to happen when Lee is the director. He obviously favored his character.
Is the review positive or negative?
