The characters and events revolve around the Italian-run pizza shop in the black neighborhood. Wonderful and accurate all-in-one group play, but the characters feel a little flat. The most impressive are the montages of pino mookies of different races, policemen and Koreans insulting other races; wherever radio raheem goes, there must be close-ups and oblique compositions, as well as the noisy and meaningless fight the power. Spike Lee's mookie feels so scumbag, very irresponsible to work and family, and actually has the shame to ask for wages, and pick up the money that was thrown on the boss and dropped on the ground...
Contradictions accumulate in trivial matters and eventually break out. Whose fault is it? Aside from the insult that turned the customer away, I sympathize with Sal, at least on the surface, trying to bridge the conflict between his son and the black people and Smiley, but his stubborn ignorance of not accepting black culture is indeed one of the reasons. ; I think the black people who only resort to violence have found the wrong target to vent (maybe... they are bullying and fearing the hard?), and the way the police deal with them is the last and most important straw. And then letting them go just because they said "I'm black" feels like a sarcasm. The conflict ended in a blazing fire, and a picture of the two black leaders was finally posted on the wall, but another hotter day followed. The two paragraphs at the end seem contradictory? It was probably an expression of helplessness and incomprehension. do the right thing, what is the right thing?
PS. Why is the genre "comedy"...
