00:00In this film, the question is not who is right, but why things explode.
00:04The film Do the Right Thing takes place over a single day in a Brooklyn neighborhood
00:08and in stifling heat.
00:11The entire film is based on a build-up of tension, minor humiliations, and inappropriate remarks.
00:15and looks that are contemptuous.
00:17This is a film that is once again directed by Spike Lee.
00:20and within it, he does not point to a single culprit.
00:22It shows an entire system where everyone is caught in a mechanism that eventually explodes.
00:27This film shows a truth that is uncomfortable.
00:31Racism is not always manifested through laws.
00:34but above all through accumulations of small things.
00:37And the end of the film does not provide a simple answer, and that is entirely intentional.
00:42In my series The Black History Month, it was important for me to present this film to you.
00:46given that it's often small things that cause things to explode
00:50and then we end up with tragedies.
00:53And this film still resonates today, given that this neighborhood in Brooklyn
00:57represents all the suburbs that are still stigmatized today.
01:01Let me know if you know this film in the comments and most importantly, subscribe.
