09 / Do The Right Thing / Spike Lee

"Let me tell you the story of Right Hand, Left Hand. It's a tale of good and evil. Hate: it was with this hand that Cane iced his brother. Love: these five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand: the hand of love. The story of life is this: static. One hand is always fighting the other hand, and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, Love, is finished. But hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that's right. Ooh, it's a devastating right and Hate is hurt, he's down. Left-Hand Hate KOed by Love. " - Radio Raheem

There's not much I can really think to say about Do The Right Thing, other than if you haven't seen it, WATCH IT. It's a masterful piece of cinema that creates a vivid lived in world that, unlike a lot of films of this kind doesn't portray black and white, good and evil, it shows the varying shades of grey that is live.
