The movie does a great job of showing themes and cultures. The themes were cops vs citizens, blacks vs whites, men vs women and young and old. The two cultures that are focused on the most are black and white then Spanish finally the Koreans. I like that it’s up to viewer find what's right and wrong. In part sometimes there is no right and wrong at times there are situations where both sides are wrong. The story does a fantastic job of telling multiple stories at once. We fall mookies story of young man just trying to get paid, Pino story of trying to break away from his family traditions. Another great part of the movie is it focuses on the whole community we see the old man around the block. Also, the young group of black teenagers who go around the block. Finally Sal’s business because we see almost every character in their kind of the community hub. I love how different each character is they all have their own personality Buggin Out is the hot head funny guy, Radio Raheem is the cool guy, Da Mayor the old wise men. I hate how we don't really see Vito fight back against Pino. Also, that we don't see what happens to the town after Sal’s pizza place is destroyed. Spike Lee does a great job of picking a setting Brooklyn New York but also picking that day to be the hottest of the year. Because Lee picked that day to be the hottest we see why tension raise so quickly that day. I still don't understand what is the right thing to do we never really see what that actually is. If i could change anything i wished that Sal could have solved his problem with Buggin Out so we didn't have to have a violent ending. I wish we saw more of the Puerto Ricans in the story to help me better understand the relationships between the other cultures. Also I wish we could see more into Mookies relationship with his son
