DO THE RIGHT THING




Do The Right Thing is a movie directed, written by Spike Lee. This movie is a prefect example when coming to racial conflicts. It shows how many characterises there are when it is racism. That their is not just people that are racist and people that are not, there could be many others or feelings about racism. The main character Mookie is tyring to live his life by working as a pizza delivery and living with is sister but then he has a girlfriend and a son that ring in his mind too. Sal the pizzeria’s Italian- American owner, has owned the shop for years. His older son Pino hold racial contempt for the neighborhood African Americans. His younger son Vito is friends with Mookie, which Pino feels undermines their fraternal bond. The scene that i think is important is when the police tries to keep Radio Raheem in condition when they can't they kill him by choking him. This scene has been discussed by many people that watched this film. Its a scene that leaves you thinking in the end whether it is a racist act or not.

CHINATOWN

The movie Chinatown director Roman Polanski is a film that only seems usual all the way until you realize you don't know exactly where it's going in the end. It's about a man name Jake Gittes (Nicholson) that is a private investigator that has a case he wants to get to the bottom of. JJ Gittes the PI is hired to spy on Mulwray. Jake thinks Mrs. Mulwray is the one who hired him, but later finds out he was hired by a different woman. he then starts investigating who hired him and why. He comes accross many sides of the cases he as to investigat. Mrs.Mulwray's husband is killed and JJ Gittes is investigating it. Mrs.Mulwray knows something and she is not telling JJ Gittes. When Mrs.Mulwray and JJ Gittes get closer together he reviles something about the cases. JJ Gittes cames accros Mrs.Mulwray father and he says that she is a very jealous women and she is dangoures too. Mrs.Mulwray was hiding family prombles that relate to he husbands death. JJ Gittes had some kind of sence that Mrs.Mulwray was behind her husbands death. She is a very stronge women by the way she covered her daughter/sister from he father. I was shoked at the end of the movie by how Mrs.Mulwray was killed in the car. And JJ Gittes got away with it all. JJ Gittes was not expecting that he any wanted Mrs.Mulwray and her daugter/sister to get away from the father. Over all I liked the movie it was nice how i was shoked at the end and how the JJ Gittes got away with several things. NICE MOVIE!
