Grew up on Lexington Ave bet. Throop & Tompkins Aves (5 blocks away from where DTRT was filmed). I was 14 the summer they filmed this movie (in '88), I turned 15 later on that year (in October). I, along with my "homies," used to run down to Quincy St and Stuyvesant to see what they were filming but we could NEVER see ANYTHING! Never saw Spike, Rosie, Martin, Giancarlo, Bill Nunn (Radio Raheem), Ossie or Ruby. We could HEAR them, tho (acting). I remember those bright ass lights. When the movie came out the next year, we (my friends and I) were like "Oh, so THIS is what they was (were) making!" Watching this brought back a lot of memories. Never realized how bad Bed-Stuy looked, back then, until I see footage and photos of it. A lot has changed in Bed-Stuy since the '80s. I try not to live in the past, but the "old" Bed-Stuy is what I have a connection to. Born (in '73) and bred in the Stuy. Lived on Lex Ave from '83-'99, now I'm out in Jamaica, Queens. Whenever I visit the Stuy, I don't even feel like I belong there. The whole vibe is different.

Overall, Do The Right Thing was a 99.9% accurate description of NYC, at that time.

Danny Aiello view was that Sal wasn’t racist and sought to make him likeable, added to the complexity of the character. A part of you wanted to believe he wasn’t racist. Sal was also likeable. It made for a very complex, memorable character where people still disagree with whether he was actually racist or not. The disagreement and tension around whether Sal was racist, between Spike and Aiello, really worked and made him a more ambiguous, interesting character. Aiello was also perfectly cast, because Sal also had a powerful personality, which made him seem intimidating, yet there was something still likeable about him.

This movie is important, timeless, and aged like the finest wine. Spike Lee created some of THE greatest films, and captured an era with perfection- the dialogue, the angles, the film used, the direction, and concepts/stories these films told can’t be reproduced. Very important films. Do The Right Thing Mo Better Blues She Gotta Have it Crooklyn Clockers Jungle Fever Malcolm X .. I’d even say Inside Man, was a different approach for Spike, and he made something intriguing with the misdirection approach. Unlike his other films, this one still held a message of importance.. But, the one many seem to overlook at times, is Crooklyn, AND!!! Mo Better Blues, my God how incredible Mo Better Blues is of a piece of cinema, the character Bleek, and how Denzel portrayed him was perfection.. including the entire cast, perfection, and a phenomenal movie that doesn’t get the recognition I felt it deserved. RedHook was a good movie, but imo, didn’t hold up to the rest of his legacy..

I am from Brownsville but I stayed in Sumner Projects with my aunt. I was 18 going on 19 in 1988. I remember how bad all the hoods looked but it was home and I knew mostly everyone from E.N.Y to Fort Green. Ingersol and Walt Whitman Houses. I loved growing up in Brooklyn New York.

"I'm capable of saying those words. I'm capable. And I have said 'em. But I'm not a racist." That's a great way of explaining that. I don't know anyone that hasn't said something out of anger or just meanness about some other group of people in a moment of emotion. I don't think taking someone at their very worst and defining them entirely is a good idea. I've said stuff I wish I hadn't without wishing complete ill will against an entire group of people.

When she was saying when her mother came there it was gaslight and carriages , I forgot for a second this was filmed in circa 86-87…she was probably in her 50’s…so her moms probably came there when she was a child in the late 1890’s/early 1900’s
