showed DO THE RIGHT THING to my family last night, being my fifth rewatch. easily my favorite film of all time.

Still think this is Lee's best film. No offense to MALCOLM X or nothing, but this film has never lost its power or its stylistic brazenness.

Did a study of this film in my film class and I love how he uses the 4th wall

“Do the Right Thing” is a beautiful movie!

[cross]

This movie blew my mind when I saw it, really changed what I thought movies could be.

i wish they would go into the process a bit more, very interesting topic. how was the film timed differently, were they treating their lamps differently than with white actors, what kind of in camera filtration, it looked like they used lots of gold bounces was that a part of the lighting template?

All the talks of making black communities better was from the heart. I just don't have the power to do so right now. Not everyone will like it, but many will. I think prosperous, not perishable . That's my black love

Haven’t seen this film in a long time.

Hi there! Great video and content! Congrats!

This needs to be seen in 4K HDR for the full glory of all the saturated colors. Criterion needs to start thinking about putting out 4K UHD Blu-rays. If Flicker Alley could do it, so can Criterion.

Anyone know where the full version of this documentary is ? what is the name of it ?

[rockhero]

Jack Cardiff's work was an influence on Do the Right Thing

[BuyingScratchoffsFTW]

What college courses do I need to take to become a professional cinematographer

[orangemancometh]

I’ll say it again, I don’t like Spike Lee, yet his film Do The Right Thing is one of the greats of American cinema.

[viclee]

It would be very challenging to grab the attention of the youth because many are programmed to see prosperity and knowledge through material things. So and so has a Lamborghini, with 5 bad chicks, and there for so and so know what they're talking about. The raggedy jeans, holy shirt man is automatically stupid. You know what I'm saying?

[nedowens]

U never explained how to adjust the skin tone

[coronelsakura]

A movie where the main characters are all big bastards. Not trying to disriepect here. Even Danny Aiello has something.... may be the least of them all. But the way he does not educate his stupid son makes him somehow guilty of that bastardness of the fellar.

[APAL]

so corny this movie. how do people take it seriously and enjoy it?
