The movie, Do the Right Thing, by Spike Lee is a hard 
            
 hitting drama that deals with violence and racism in today's 
            
 society. This film is set in a primarily black neighborhood in 
            
 close to the present time. Right in the center of this 
            
 neighborhood stands a pizza parlor that is owned and 
            
 operated by one of the most important characters in the 
            
 movie, Sal. In the beginning of the movie, Sal is shown 
            
 arriving to work with his two sons Pino and Vito. This gives 
            
 an appeal to Sal as a family man. Right from the start Sal is 
            
 portrayed as a hard working, kind, and devoted individual. 
            
 Just the fact that he owns his own business in these rough 
            
 and tough times shows that he is a smart, efficient, and 
            
 dedicated man. Later in the movie we learn that Sal did in 
            
 fact build his pizzeria by himself from the ground up, brick 
            
 by brick, board by board which was no little task indeed. 
            
 The fact that Sal gets to share his creation and hard work 
            
 with his sons makes it all the more special to him. After Sal 
            
 has finished his pre-opening preparations Sal's Pizzeria is 
            
 open for the day. Shortly after this, the main character of 
            
 the movie, Mookie, comes strolling into the restaurant. 
            
 Mookie works as the delivery man for Sal in this movie. 
            
 Mookie literally delivers pizza, yes, but he also acts as a 
            
 mediator between the two races. Sal relies on Mookie not 
            
 only to get the pizzas delivered, but to also keep his fellow 
            
 black folks happy with Sal so they will come and patronize 
            
 his restaurant. I think that this shows a very interesting side 
            
 of Sal. It for the most part pawns him off as a racist. On the 
            
 one hand he can put on a happy face and greet all the black 
            
 people as they shell their hard earned money out to him for 
            
 his pizza, while on the other hand he turns into a bigot, 
            
 hating most black people and talking behind their back 
            
 while they are not around. Now I say most black peo...
