"Do the Right Thing"

So i just got out of class and once again i saw another movie called “Do the Right Thing” a movie directed by Spike Lee. Spike Lee is a well known director. What Spike Lee tries to do is show people the struggle of an African American or more referred as blacks. This film is a very controversial film. It demonstrates a lot of power and negativity all at the same time. The film takes place in the summer, due to its hotness and lack of air conditioners peoples tensions tend to be at a high. Spike Lee plays a major role in his own movie as the character “Mookie”.
Women aren’t really in the picture as much as the other problems that Spike Lee is trying to get across. But from what you do see, are two strong independent women. They are Jade which is Mookie’s sister and there is Mother Sister who is an old lady who is stubborn mainly at one person (Da Mayor) she is very high opinionated about a lot of things and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. All which show a high strong independence. Mother Sister can be portrayed in two ways either the one that people go and confide in and ask for advice or as a old stubborn old lady. But one thing you cannot take away from her is her character, she has a strong personality and not afraid to speak her mind. Jade on the other hand is quite different; she is younger but a very intelligent young black girl. She works and can support her self as well as her brother Mookie. She has her own apartment which she shares with her brother Mookie but pays most of the bills. She is a kind and very charming person all which respect her for that.
They both show a high strong character in their own way. One is very loud another is very quiet. But they are both effective and well respected in their own manner. Living in a community like that and to be respected shows a lot of character. They both can managed to live on their own which shows a lot of independence. And the respect they get from everybody shows a lot as well.
