Spike Lee creation inspires conflicting viewer impressions
By Jonathan Plummer
Yvonne staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Did Spike Lee do the right thing?
Student reaction to Lee's movie,
"Do the Right Thing," was varied when the film played during the weekend as part of the Student Union film series in the Kansas Union.
The movie depicts a hot summer day in a New York community where tempers between Blacks and Italians burn until a riot develops. Police kill a Black man, and Mookle, Lee's character, throws a trash can through an Italian vender's window.
At the end, quotes appear from Martin Luther King Jr. promoting non-violence and from Malcolm X sometimes is called for in self-defense.
Doug Wacker, Kansas City, Kan. senior, was not impressed by the film.
"It made no sense." Wacker said.
"It didn't show what they were trying to prove. I mean, I could have made that troyrie. It was boring."
Craig Poppen, Glasgow, Scotland,
junior, liked the movie but was
"The ending was a bit hard to take." Poppen said, "I agree with Martin Luther King's statement, and I don't agree with Malcolm X's statement. But I think they make a good point on the film."
"I think it was a bit exaggerated toward the end," he said. "But I do think it spoke the truth, or at least a lot of the truth."
disturbed by the ending.
Poppen said the depiction of race relations was not entirely realistic.
Erik Ostermueller, Prairie Village senior, said the ending was appropriate for the film's subject.
"The title of the movie, the two quotes together, implies you have a choice, and they didn't give an answer," Ostermueller said. "There is no hero. We didn't think anybody really did the right thing."
"I didn't think Mookie was going to throw the trash can," Lehman said, "But when he did, it was the right thing. It creates this huge conflict where they realize the problem."
Michael Lehman, Topeka senior,
disreheed.
