So, I've talked a lot about culture as well as some of the injustices that have been occurring lately. I do believe that our community and others need to wake up from our sleeping mentality to understand the realness that is under wraps today. So I love music, but I also love a great movie with entertainment. Not only is the entertainment enticing but a movie with meaning and a message, now that is my kind of movie. I would like to introduce two movies that present deep meaning and the themes of choices, respect, racism, friendship and standing up for what is right. These two movies are very interesting as well as moving.

Yes, Do the Right Thing by Spike Lee is such a moving and very important movie to watch. Not only does it touch on the theme of relations but also racism and the after effects causing prejudice and stereotyping of different races of people. The title alone speaks volumes because it is do the "right thing"! That title is meaning because I feel that it is saying choose good of wrong. I believe there is a lot that Lee is saying is this movie but one thing that I do notice very vividly is the hate that turns to violence that turns to pure chaos and this is an ongoing recurring theme that we see today which is the similarity in Radio Raheem's death, watch, wake up and stay woke people!
