Synopsis

Spike Lee's racial and political filmmaking bent is given the full treatment with this simmering exposé of racial tensions in a New York City neighbourhood one scorching summer day. The film, written by Lee (and nominated for an Oscar), follows a group of racially diverse inhabitants from Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighbourhood as they spend their day trying to avoid the oppressive heat.

    I love this movie. It is obvious that this movie would have been one of racial conflicts, but conflict is what makes a movie so good. One thing although I don't understand is why is it a pizzeria? Like it is a good idea, since Italians own and run it, but it's the hottest day of the summer, people want ice cream, I think that would have been the more logical choice concerning the circumstances, but still overall amazing. Also, the different characters in the movie are good. They all have different personalities that tie together and have a great effect. Spike Lee usually writes good dramatic movies with some comedy here and there, so kudos to him. Watch this movie if you like ones that deal with racism, because after you watch it, you won't forget.
