Details

This is the Regal in the Western Branch/Suffolk area folks. I've been to Bed-Stuy so I wonder if I'll recognize anything.

RUNTIME: 120 minutes

SYNOPSIS: Salvatore "Sal" Fragione (Danny Aiello) is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.

BLURBS:
"The strengths of Do the Right Thing lie firstly in its stylishness - its brash energy, its bright, primary palette, its technical virtuosity...and, secondly, in Lee's moral generosity." - Sheila Johnston, Independent (UK)

"As soon as the credit sequence gets moving...you sense that Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing is going to be an extraordinary film." - Lynden Barber, Sydney Morning Herald

"[You] need to see it for yourself. It's a very unusual movie experience -- two hours of bombardment with New York-style stimuli." - Terrence Rafferty, The New Yorker
