The block was just devastated by a melee that broke out because the police killed Radio Raheem after he and Sal got in an altercation that was triggered by the volume of Radio Raheem’s boom box. Though at a
Do the Right Thing The first word that comes to mind when thinking about Do the Right Thing is HOT. Everything about this movie was hot, from the weather down to the themes and issues it brought up. It’s interesting too watch this movie while living with a heat wave in NYC. There’s plenty of room for debate as to whether or not anyone did the right thing in this script, in my opinion most of the characters did the wrong thing.

Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Movie The Matrix What role will computers play in the future?

Even though the road movie ‘’Central Do Brasil’’ contains a vast amount of gender stereotypical references, the movie manages to counter these traditional narratives in a subtle but critical manner.
