Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee, 1989)

8/10
Good movie. Apparently of lot of white people come away thinking of Sal as the victim and a lot of black people come away thinking of Mookie as the hero...I was somewhere in between, I think neither were heroes and both were in the wrong and in the end, Mookie didn't do the right thing, which I think is what Spike Lee was trying to get across...but I don't know. The quotes at the end from Malcolm X and MLK muddle things too. Anyone else seen it have an opinion?
