Da Mayor Rescues a Child | Do The Right Thing (1989) | Screen Bites

When the shaved ice truck rolls into the neighbourhood, some of the children get a little too excited and forget about cars! But Da Mayor is looking out for them.

Do The Right Thing (1989): Salvatore "Sal" Fragione (Danny Aiello) is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.

cannot believe they choose ice cream over the icey icey man

[NYRyder]

Da Mayor deserves respect for saving that boy's life.

"Nobody will question how i raise him, even his daddy"

That should tell you everything you need to know.

Theres no moment in this movie that plays out exactly as expected/morally unambiguously. Like you have no resting point watching this film, you’re always thinking.

Eddie getting almost run over by a reckless driver is based upon Spike Lee's childhood of getting almost run over by a car.

Eddie missed the Ice Cream truck. And his mom spank him like 7 times. Then she says, "Get upstairs now. And when your father come out, he gonna wear your narrow behind now, too."

This Man is doing the right thing. God Will Bless Him.❤🙏

He fell down but his hat didn't 😶

[cloudbullets]

Da Mayor was right, Eddie’s mom didn’t need to hit him. Kids don’t know any better. They’re kids!

[JeffBird]

The Mayor is the most likable person in the movie. Everyone is a bunch of Karen’s

[DylanWhite-kj]

The kid's silence and fear of her speaks for itself...

[matthewallen]

Here's a serious question. What did Eddie do to deserve that? Think about it. He almost got hit by a car, a man saved his life, and when his mother asks what happened, all Eddie gets is a scolding, a spanking, and yelling from his mother. He did absolutely nothing to deserve what he got. If anything, his mother should be happy he's alive. Anyone who does what Eddie's mother did to him does not deserve to be a parent. That is just downright abusive parenting.

Ha haa ya didn't know the Mayor had it em. Did ya?

[TeddyLove]

Nobody gone tell me how to raise my son not even his father 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌

[Linkzelda]

The mom clearly overreacted and had no right to hit her son. I get it back them that was common to hit your kids but it doesn’t do any good to put your hand on them. Even the other guys were like telling her not to hit her son.

Thats 1989 dicipline for all you young 90s-00s kids out there

[joanlavaki]

Did Lin Manuel Miranda copy this film for In the Heights?

[RebelKingfrom]

Its a shame that this trope has been mimicked in reality with black mothers. In some aspects but not all.
