Do the Right Thing/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Basically, the whole damn movie is an exercise on what each viewer interprets each character's actions and intentions as. A primary one being Mookie's {{spoiler|motivation for throwing that trashcan. To redirect the mob's rage and save Sal's life? To vent his own rage over Radio Raheem's death? If he was trying to vent, why didn't he join in on the actual rioting and looting with the other black people?}}

** ''"I wanna clear up something once and for all," says Spike Lee in a new commentary track on the 20th anniversary DVD of "Do the Right Thing". "Mookie'' ''{{spoiler|did not throw the garbage can through the window to divert the mob from jumping on Sal". Mookie, the delivery guy who works for Sal and is played by Lee, "threw the garbage can through the window because he just saw one of his best friends get murdered in cold blood by NYPD."}}''
