In 1989, spike lee's seventh work, after two or three years he shot the more influential Jungle Fever and Malcolm X, but I like this one better.
Spike Lee's black community stories are always the most exciting , His lines and his stories are completely genius, an incomparable black American director.
Racial conflict is an eternal problem for an immigrant country like the United States . As a director with a sense of responsibility and justice, Spike Lee almost always These works are inseparable from the topic of race.
The Italian father and son who opened the pizza shop in Brooklyn, the Korean who opened the grocery store, the black people who were like beings, the young people with radical violence, the old people with tolerance and reconciliation, formed a river and lake, a race mixed, contradictory, conflicting battlefield
last spike lee play photo with two of Martin Luther King and malcolm X violent revolution against blacks in the words of the subtitle, of course, violence can not be the solution to the problem, but sadly, Sometimes, it becomes the only choice for people, especially radical youth.

    "Radio Radio Radio" is now "Floyd Floyd Floyd", nothing has changed; it mainly talks about the neighborhood conflicts between blacks and between blacks and whites in the black community before the police. Lazy but strong self-esteem, black people do not understand each other. The final conflict is not caused by someone with strong discriminatory thoughts (Brother Pizza), but by a usually kind father (this setting is a bit confusing). Of course, it is the rabble trio who are mainly engaged in troubles, and their thoughts are basically extreme. Among the three, the demented white people are the audience in front, but he put the match at the end. He represents the environment of discrimination. You don't realize him, but like strangling radio, this fire is very clear. He let it go. As for mookie's identity as the initiator of violence, I also imagined that he, like Mayor, saved Sal and drew the attention of the rioting black people. But from the perspective of the dialogue, it is not. He is for the death of radio, and he is also venting; when the slogan is shouted, the crowd no longer thinks, and the violence is venting; the four corners of the intersection, white, yellow, black, great harmony
