Do the Right Thing

The movie Do the Right Thing brightened my day. Maybe that was the brightness of the film. But watching this movie after The Battle of Algiers was a relief.

We talked about if Mookie did the right thing at the end of the film in class. I think he did. Sal understood Mookie and respected him. Mookie understands that Sal is not a racist, he's just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And yes, said something that he maybe shouldn't have but we all make mistakes.

But what is not a mistake is when Mookie picks up the money on the ground at the end. I think he deserves it.
