In my neighborhood, there was a rather peculiar happening; a young boy was shot. Literally, right down the street at Arco gas, a shooting took place. A 15 year old kid was shot by an officer while attempting to rob the Arco. I live in a boring suburban neighborhood, so you can imagine this shook things up quite a bit. The kid who got shot was black, and the cop who shot him ws white,which just add... read more

I always loved Spike Lee's movies and this one is definitely his masterpiece. It is a simple story but there are so many layers, I thought it was just fascinating. Like Roger Ebert, I am quite amazed that such important movie was not nominated for the Best picture academy award. Anyway, I think it is a great classic and it is definitely worth a look.

It's the hottest day of the year in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, and tensions are growing there, with the only local businesses being a Korean grocery and Sal's Pizzeria. Mookie, Sal's delivery boy, manages to always be at the center of the action.

"Lee cagily provides a litmus test for racial attitudes in 1989, but he does so by destroying the integrity of his characters, black and white. - Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine"

"02.04. DVD, 1st viewing DIRECTED BY Spike Lee What a great film. At the same time it's funny, provocative and intelligent in its vivid portrayal of the racial tensions in the late 1980s Brooklyn, New York. What I most loved about it was that it did not take sides nor shove a message down your throat. It rather observes the people and attitudes in a neighborhood where a minor conflict on a hot day can stir up hell. As a something of a hip hop fan, these types of themes kinda fascinate me. East "
