Do The Right Thing is a powerful film that follows a young black man's life in
Brooklyn, NY. This film shows raw content exploiting and breaking down racial barriors that are very much
prevelant in New Yor City today. Negative slurs such as Gew, Nigger, Spick, and Chink are all used in this film to represent the harsh realities of the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. Through out the film, it dipicted how certain races stand together and why many races can't unite at all. In the end, when all the races banded together against Sal's pizza shop. It was evident, that certain issues are not always transperant. That in life before we judge, we must take a deeper look into the situation and always do the right thing.
