I finally saw this last night via a friend's film class. It is excellent. See it.

I saw it over the summer. I had mixed views on it.

amiri baraka critiques "do the right thing" (and other spike lee films, including malcolm x):

it's a good listen. the film critique begins more than halfway in.

I've never seen Do the Right Thing, but I have seen Malcolm X and Bamboozled (well parts of it).

I felt that the movie Malcolm X left out a lot of important parts of Malcolm's life and switched too many things around. I also felt he tried to deamonize the prison minister in the movie. He didn't explain the context of calling Malcolm X the devil in prison (which was his nickname for his anti-religious speech).

I thought Bamboozled was a good movie, I can't make judgements considering that I haven't seen the whole thing.

Another good Spike Lee movie is A Huey P. Newton Story
