CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mookie (Spike Lee) throws a garbage can through Sal's window, leading to the pizzeria getting burned down.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Spike Lee dives head-first into a maelstrom of racial and social ills, using as his springboard the hottest day of the year on one block in Brooklyn, NY. Three businesses dominate the block: a storefront radio station, where a smooth-talkin' deejay (Samuel L. Jackson) spins the platters that matter; a convenience store owned by a Korean couple; and Sal's Famous Pizzeria, the only white-operated business in the neighborhood. Sal (Danny Aiello) serves up slices with his two sons, genial Vito (Richard Edson) and angry, racist Pino (John Turturro). Sal has one black employee, Mookie (Spike Lee), who wants to "get paid" but lacks ambition. His sister Jade (Joie Lee, Spike's sister), who has a greater sense of purpose and a "real" job, wants Mookie to start dealing with his responsibilities, most notably his son with girlfriend Tina (Rosie Perez). Two of Mookie's best friends are Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn), a monolith of a man who rarely speaks, preferring to blast Public Enemy's rap song Fight The Power on his massive boom box; and Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), nicknamed for his coke-bottle glasses and habit of losing his cool. When Buggin' Out notes that Sal's "Wall of Fame," a photo gallery of famous Italian-Americans, includes no people of color, he eventually demands a neighborhood boycott, on a day when tensions are already running high, that incurs tragic consequences.

Many years later, Michael Browns suicide by cop and the rioters that followed re-created the entire scene. Brown even looked exactly like Bill Nunns character. So these questions are more than answered now. I very much liked the four movies of Spike Lees that I've seen. I have no sympathy for rioters or Michael Brown, though.

basically. This film isn't asking you who did the right thing, it is criticizing choices and making everyone think which is also why people have so many different opinions about this film. It doesn't help to try and convince who you think did the right thing because the right thing would have been avoiding everything- the violence, the tension, the hate, discrimination and all racism.

Hearing Sal tell his son that everyone in the neighborhood grew up on his food and how much he loves everyone felt so real, and seeing everything go so horrifically wrong at the end was so genuinely heartbreaking. I still debate over whether or not anybody did the right thing. This movie is a masterpiece.

@GlassheartRecords 3 жыл бұрын

An open question near the end of the film is whether Mookie "does the right thing" when he throws the garbage can through the window, inciting the riot that destroys Sal's pizzeria. Some critics have interpreted Mookie's action as an action that saves Sal's life, by redirecting the crowd's anger away from Sal to his property, and others say that it was an "irresponsible encouragement to enact violence". The quotations by two major black leaders used at the end the film provide no answers: one advocates nonviolence, the other advocates armed self-defense in response to oppression. Spike Lee has remarked that only white viewers ask him if Mookie did the right thing; black viewers do not ask the question. Lee believes the key point is that Mookie was angry at the wrongful death of Radio Raheem, stating that viewers who question the riot are explicitly failing to see the difference between damage to property and the death of a black man.

@claudiusatlas8083 3 жыл бұрын

As a white person myself, I (and most others) are fully capable of seeing the difference between destroying property and the police killing people. We just don’t see how burning someone’s store to the ground is going to solve the issue of police violence. Violence directed towards the authorities makes sense, since they are the ones responsible, but burning Sal’s store - and the store of the Korean couple - solves absolutely nothing. People’s livelihoods shouldn’t be destroyed because a crowd is angry and too scared to target the people actually responsible. Mindless violence with no purpose and no potential to even do anything good is never acceptable.

@theopportuneson699 3 жыл бұрын

As a black man, I was thoroughly disgusted by Mookie’s actions throughout the entire film. He was a deadbeat bum, and the lousiest worker possible. And yet, with all of the disrespect that Mookie gave Sal, Sal not only paid him very well (for the inner city), but Sal even said that he considered Mookie family. So what did Mookie do when Sal and Vito, who Mookie supposedly considers a friend, were in need? Well, Mookie did exactly what Pino said he would - stabbed them in the back. He first skirted away, and then he initiated the riot. And for what? Over the man who nearly murdered Sal in front of Sal’s own restaurant? Watching Raheem in this movie made me relive every last iota of shame that coursed through me during the Rayshard Brooks debacle. I remember wanting to bury my head in the sand and forget to come up for air when there were riots in honor of Rayshard Brooks. Riots which included the burning of the Wendy’s the incident took place at, very similar to what happened here. Raheem, like Rayshard in real life, demonstrated that he would have killed those he was up against if he had the chance. They got handed Uno Reverse cards by fate, and I feel sympathy for neither.

I would want to leave that community and disinherit it entirely. Its values, its heroes, its causes. Move away and set down roots in a place that isn't a shithole filled with garbage people.

Deep down, I think Mookie respected Sal and while he didn't fully blame him for Radio Raheem's death, he felt that Sal's Pizzeria would be forever tainted by what happened so to spare Sal any more physical harm, he diverted everyone's anger toward the restaurant. Plus Mookie took no part in the looting and destroying of Sal's. He may have hated to bring it to this but he did what he had to.

That's fine if people are willing to mix- though one could argue it's an attempt to rid oneself of black characteristics- but that doesn't mean that racism is not a problem in Brazil or the majority of Latin America as a whole. There is no such thing as a country devoid of racism. Absolutely nowhere. Also, I don't see how willingly abandoning your background is at all a good thing.

Something that gets overlooked in this scene is right before Mookie throws the can you can hear Da Mayor (Ossie Davis) scream "No!" off-screen. Interesting choice by Lee to add that, especially considering how much he stands by Mookie's decision to do it. Is this commentary on the generational views toward violence and the futile efforts of rioting? Does it underscore the apathy of alcoholism? Personally I think while Lee/Mookie ride with Malcolm, Da Mayor was the voice of King.

Sal is an Italian-American who is proud of his heritage. The wall-of-fame only consisted of Italian-Americans as a tribute to his culture. That is no way racist towards African-Americans, as it also does not include any other race, only Italian-Americans. Radio Raheem did not deserve to die at the hands of the racist police officer, but the way he behaved in Sal's restaurant was unwarranted.

@HovaNirvana 7 ай бұрын

One of the more reasonable takes I’ve seen regarding the situation. The only issue I have is that it really wouldn’t have killed Sal to put two or three Black people of note on the wall. I don’t agree with how Buggin’ Out went about the situation at all, but he did have a point. Most of Sal’s clientele is Black. And Sal was under no obligation to open or keep his business in a predominantly Black neighborhood. Adding photos of Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Diana Ross for example would have taken nothing away from his Italian-American pride. In fact, one of the people on his wall, Frank Sinatra, was famous for refusing to perform in establishments that did not cater to Black people. If one of his heroes could be so broad-minded, so could Sal.

@finisher3x 12 жыл бұрын

It's not the point that it was OK to burn down Sal's. The point was that Sal's was the center of that neighborhood. It was the place that all of them loved, while also being the place where they saw one of them die. Because of that, the image of Sal's would be tarnished forever. It would never be a part of the community ever again. So in their minds ( especially Mookie's ), the place had to go.

Yes Sal should have called the cops instead of hitting his radio with a bat. But you can't equate that to going into a guys business blasting a radio and yelling at him, then assaulting him and then trashing his store and burning it down and act like its the same level of wrong doing. Breaking a stereo isn't even remotely close to as bad as what they did to Sal.

I've always considered the ending to represent how all these characters can't really escape what society expects them to be. In a perfect world, Sal and Mookie would live happily ever after, but they're fucked by outside forces. Sal is frustrated by his son's anger/embarrassment, Mookie is outraged at the cops killing Radio Raheem - in the end, both are forced to choose what "family" they're more a part of. IMO the title is somewhat ironic and meant to represent what a grey area right/wrong is.

His older son (Pino) thought himself as racist but Mookie proved him wrong, I think the older son was just taking it out on black people since he was forced to remain at the pizza shop by his dad, in fact he may be actually thankful to Mookie for destroying it. The younger son (vito) might actually become prejudiced as a result of what happened though
