My first response was anger and confusion at the whole situation. Anger over how the whole situation escalated and how the characters decided to handle their problem, while also how the police handled and worsened the problem. And confusion on what the town did to protest...

The movie “do the right thing”, has made me feel anger and frustration. It made me feel unsettled. The lighting emphasized raising tension. The intense colors red, orange, yellow serves as a metaphor for the racial tension simmering throughout the film. It was uncomfortable #Media180LabSpring130
Through the movie a creeping sense of unease was felt as tension rose, with Lee having conflicts and misunderstandings. The interactions and micro aggressions gave the idea that it will eventually climax. Can be attributed to the lighting, bright+glaring, adding intensity #Media180LabSpring130

My Immediate reaction to "Do The Right Thing" was amazement at how relevant its themes are still today. At 30:50, it really resonated with me when that biker walked into Buggin Out. It reminded me of watching how gentrification has washed away the community I grew up in. #Media180LabSpring130
Same here I was stuck between being mad and feeling for everyone. The direct address scenes really pulled me in, like the characters were talking straight to me. It made the whole thing way more personal and hard to watch without picking a side. #Media180LabSpring130

I didn’t expect Do the Right Thing to get under my skin like that. It wasn’t just the story—it was the heat, the colors, the music. Everything felt loud, even in the quiet scenes. The tension didn’t shout at you—it built up until it couldn’t anymore. That made it hit harder.

DTRT elicits extreme discomfort in the viewer to better understand the turbulent race relations in late 80s Brooklyn. Lee uses unique camera angles to depict conflict from points of view that we normally don't see people from. (Over the shoulder, tilted shots, close ups etc.)
#Media180LabSpring130
The cinematography really got to me. Those close-up shots and canted angles made everything feel tense and off-balance. Plus, the bright red and yellow tones added to the heat and pressure of the film's atmosphere. #Media180LabSpring130
