Do the Right Thing is the most provocative film yet from a pointedly provocative director and one of the most controversial films of the '80s. Spike Lee's study of a pizza joint in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn with an Italian owner (Danny Aiello) and a mostly black clientele takes a cold, hard look at racist reality. The camera work is good, too. A
