JUST DO IT

I think that Spike Lee did a great job writing and directing "Do the Right Thing". This movie showed that racism just gets worse. One thing leads to another, leads to another, until it gets way out of control. The movie showed that the only way to stop racism from being a disaster, is to stop it right away, or to resolve the problem.

Spike Lee wanted it to be a big deal when Radio Rahem was killed, but the shots made it hard to do so. He spent alot more time on the shots leading to and the actual crash of the window. He even had a double take of the glass shattering. The glass might have been symbolism for chaos erupting. The point is, Radio Rahem didn't seem important, because Lee didn't make it important.

Thinking about the movie, there was alot of things that Sal could have done to prevent his place from burning. It all started because he wouldn't put an African American picture on the wall. I wonder if the older brother learned his racism from his dad. The younger son has it right. He is acting how he should be. Some of the characters i am sad got hurt by this, the younger son, Da Mayor.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION

This movie was pretty good. I thought that it was just going to be another documentary, and be boring; but it wasn't. The director did a great job showing both sides of the battle, and how bad the casualties were for both sides. Even when most of the story was through the revolutionaries eyes, you still could tell how bad it was for the French.One way the director showed how bad the bombings were to the people, was with music. The music he played for both bombings was the same. The music also added other things, it added to the suspense of the scenes and drew you into the characters. Ali seemed like a very shallow person in my mind. He even shot an old friend of his. It was kind of funny that some of the characters actually played themselves. It must have been fun to play yourself in a film.; The irony.
