June 30, 1989: On a hot summer day, Spike Lee drops a bomb on America.
Spike Lee is like Woody Allen in many ways I think. Not just because they focus intimately on New York and because their best films feel highly personal to their own specific cultural milieu while being also deeply engaging and approachable by all people.
But because when they are good, they are very, very good and when they are bad, they are horrid.
Do The Right Thing though? It was a classic the day it was released. Think on this … the year that Do the Right Thing was released, so was Driving Miss Daisy. Now which do you think is a more accurate representation of race in America? Exactly.
Plus, no none will ever think of Fight the Power by Public Enemy without thinking of Rosie Perez.
