After seeing "Do the Right Thing" I thought that Spike Lee was one of the best film makers that we have ever watched in class. The cammera angles and the bright colors in the movie made me think of "Citizen Kane". If "Citizen Kane" was in color, I think it would look very much like "Do the Right Thing." The social comments of the movie are well sybolized. They are not partonizing with how explicitly they are made, and the social comments are not so vailed that they could mean anything. "Do the Right Thing" is very moderate compared to Spike Lee.
When Klobuchar showed us interviews with Spike Lee, I got the impression that he was nuts. Spike Lee might get the impression that I am a racist for thinking he was nuts, but most of my class though he was a "vairiant-McCarthyist" (a word with only one dash for: someone-that-thinks-everyone-is-a-racist). Spike Lee has a big ego. He reminds me of those crazy evangelicals that think God spoke to them directly. I do not think Spike Lee has enough piety to commune with god(s). Spike Lee wrote his own sex-scene in "Do the Right Thing." It did not really add anything to the movie, and it was not one of those implicit sex-scenes either. I explicitly showed Spike Lee's charater's girlfreind(and that is all I can go into). Spike Lee looked like he was having fun with that part of the movie or was it just "good acting." I find it pathetic that Spike Lee would have done that for personal recreation.
