CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When Sal (Danny Aiello) refuses to put pictures of black people on the wall of his pizzeria, Buggin Out (Giancarlo Esposito) starts a commotion.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Spike Lee dives head-first into a maelstrom of racial and social ills, using as his springboard the hottest day of the year on one block in Brooklyn, NY. Three businesses dominate the block: a storefront radio station, where a smooth-talkin' deejay (Samuel L. Jackson) spins the platters that matter; a convenience store owned by a Korean couple; and Sal's Famous Pizzeria, the only white-operated business in the neighborhood. Sal (Danny Aiello) serves up slices with his two sons, genial Vito (Richard Edson) and angry, racist Pino (John Turturro). Sal has one black employee, Mookie (Spike Lee), who wants to "get paid" but lacks ambition. His sister Jade (Joie Lee, Spike's sister), who has a greater sense of purpose and a "real" job, wants Mookie to start dealing with his responsibilities, most notably his son with girlfriend Tina (Rosie Perez). Two of Mookie's best friends are Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn), a monolith of a man who rarely speaks, preferring to blast Public Enemy's rap song Fight The Power on his massive boom box; and Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), nicknamed for his coke-bottle glasses and habit of losing his cool. When Buggin' Out notes that Sal's "Wall of Fame," a photo gallery of famous Italian-Americans, includes no people of color, he eventually demands a neighborhood boycott, on a day when tensions are already running high, that incurs tragic consequences.

It saddens me that I hadn't had the opportunity to see him before he died in that tragic car explosion, but if I had, I would wish to tell him that there were no hard feelings.

[@hollisterpatricia]

Where I live you can't buy a single slice of pizza and when you buy a pizza, it's going to be too spicy. I couldn't tell if the slice of pizza in this movie clip had less cheese on it than it should have, but it looks like Sal might be one of those types who skimps on the cheese on purpose, who knows? It seems like everyone wants to be a jerk these days. At first I thought "What is Bug out complaining about no black people in the pictures on the wall - it's a pizza place, for God's sake, it's about Italian people ? But then I thought, "Hey, Sal could look into finding some noteworthy people of black and Italian heritage whose photos could be included! There are ways to do things right and both Sal and Bug Out could be better people if they could both drop their attitudes.

[@laminage]

YW. I saw this Movie and I was blown away when it first came out. You know what's kind of sad, since the heyday of The Cotton Club there's always been this hostile history between Blacks and Italians. Many of them had controlling interest in Harlem Nightclubs in the 1930's, in the 1950's, a lot of R & B Singers recorded on Labels that Italians had small interest on. There were allegations that The Copa had Mafia ties, and remember on The Sopranos when Massive Genius asked Hesh for $400.000.00 for back Royalties for Adella Willis who recorded for a Label that Tony Soprano's Father Johnny "Good Boy" Soprano had an interest in.

[@thebee9907]

@@laminage I think you should research a bit further...about the 11th century. Italy was invaded by the black Moors then, and there has been hostility since. In that episode of Sopranos, its funny when mob guys keep saying the word, "mulignan", only for one of the black associates to remind him that the mob guys, "got a lil soul in them as well, dont you all remember the Moors invading Italy? Or is that not covered because Christopher Colombus is your hero?" Technically, Buggin' Out did have his people on the wall. Whats even more ironic, is that the actor playing Buggin' Out...Giancarlo Esposito, is Half Black, Half Italian in real life.

Buggin' Out is grating, as he's supposed to be. What's great about this film is that no one is framed as being entirely good, leaving you confused and conflicted by the end. The black people in this neighborhood have absolutely no real power on this street that is their home. The cops have the real power, and the businesses are owned by people from outside the community. Without any real control, characters like BO and Radio Raheem try to assert control over their environment in essentially meaningless ways, like BO's insistence of putting black people up on the wall of fame (which the movie makes a point of telling us that no one else in the community agrees with) or Radio Raheem playing his music loudly wherever he goes. It would have been such a cut-and-dry ending if BO or RR had been portrayed as completely noble or heroic. They needed to be portrayed as flawed jerkasses because black people shouldn't have to be perfect victims for us to care about them or their lives. Whether he was a jerk throughout the movie or not is completely immaterial to his being murdered by the cops. Portraying him or BO as "good black people who behave" would have weakened the message.

[@jacobyoung729]

Excellent analysis. When I was done watching I felt exactly that (confused and conflicted) and films rarely make me feel that way. After some time has passed, I can totally see the intentions and scope of the story and actions. Great film.

put aside that buggin out had attitude, this guy threw trash on sals floor and even spat on it before the big fight scene. if anyone did that to buggin out he woulda lost it way worse than sal. nobody did the right thing but buggin out was hands down the worst.

[@ThatsBlackJack]

The funny thing is "Buggin Out" aka Gus better known as Giancarlo Esposito is half Italian himself lolll 😂😂

[@JoeyTCartoonP]

I think that's the brilliance of the scene. In essence, black Italians have every right to be on the wall with white ones.

This was the best Non Eating Food Scene I ever saw. Buggin Out is so irritating. He goes in to buy a slice, he knows the Price, and still he wants extra without paying for it. Isn't it amazing. By today's standards he would have paid it with his Debit Card.

The thing is that Smiley had the whole time the solution for these "brother's on the wall" issue in his hands (he was selling black ppl pics) and no one doesn't realize.

Funny, Giancarlo Esposito (Buggin Out) is half Italian. He's such a great actor!

[@isaidwithcheese8926]

His father is Italian and he was born in Italy. When he was a kid, him and his brother saw an African black man for the first time and they were terrified, their mom was shocked at their reaction and decided to move back to America so they could be exposed to their black side.

He obviously should start his own fried chicken restaurant. 🐔🍗🔷

[@Alucario64]

Buggin should open his own chicken restaurant so he can get brothers up on the wall

[@joed2444]

After the tragic riot in the summer of '89, Buggin Out emigrated to Chile where he developed a world famous fried chicken recipe. It was at this time that he began to embrace his birth name of Gustavo. Later, Gustavo returned to the states and opened a famous chicken eatery in the South West. His entrepreneurial skills gleaned during his time hanging out at Sal's combined with business seminars conducted in Mexico catapulted Gustavo to fame and fortune. Gustavo later died tragically in a freak explosion at a nursing home. Some would see this as poetic justice for his role in the Brooklyn riot of '89. Others cited Gustavo's penchant for pissing off the wrong white guys. Still others pointed to the million tons of methamphetamine found in the chicken batter as a catalyst. I guess we'll never know for sure.

The practices of a private business is that private business' say and no one else's. Just because you patronize the place doesn't mean you have any say on how they run their place. You choose to go in and pay for a service then you abide by the way they run their business while there, if not you can go somewhere else.

[@johnbrown9802]

Comes in there 3 times a day doesn't know the price. And just then notices the pictures on the wall.

"I dont see no Italians eating here. All I see is black folks. We DO have a say" Heh, nice try but, you dont HAVE to eat there.

[@_ourumavsbriefcase_5229]

@stryfetc1 That is a fun point. However, one dude complaining doesn't speak for the rest of them. Maybe they don't all feel that way, and just want to enjoy their pizza and be left alone without some dude having a fit in the middle of the store. There are probably dozens of pizza parlors In that particular district. Maybe business isn't booming, but maybe he wont tank either. Personally, I wouldn't eat there. Nor would I encourage anyone to either. Sal's place seems like a shallow, low moral atmopshere with poor people skills. This, you could argue is bad for business, just like kicking someone out of their restaurant for wearing a MAGA hat could also be bad for business. However, you do not get to tell someone how to run their business. That's against everything America is about. Also, on the subject of businesses tanking, he is most likely to go under due to the the area in poverty and high crime and dealing with erratic patrons disturbing other customers In the restaurant while other people are trying to eat would turn away customers in the restaurant away before he would go under by being a stick in the mud, apparently. Just a new perspective for you to consider . . .

[@TheTallMan50]

Picture this scene in reverse. Buggin' Out opens a soul food restaurant in Little Italy and has pictures of famous African American on the walls. Sal walks in and complains that since his business is in an Italian neighborhood he should have some pictures of Italians on his walls too. Then proceeds to toss a napkin onto the floor in protest. Later that night Sal incites a race riot because of Buggin' Out's refusal to adhere to his demands.
