Do The Right Thing

Do the Right Thing was an interesting work for Spike Lee. It focuses on inner city racial tensions, and the struggles people face every day. The most interesting part of this movie is the unique camera movement. The movie had a very dynamic camera that would have long shots with a lot of movement without cutting to another camera. It made the film almost interactive because at points characters would talk straight into the camera almost as if it were speaking to the audience as opposed to the other character in the scene. I feel that in using the camera in that way the filmmakers were trying to immerse the audience and put them in the situations emotionally and visually on the screen. Do the Right Thing has a grand impact on the viewer and forces them to witness discrimination and realize the harsh realities people face every day.
