But in 1989, a controversial young director showed up with a film entitled Do the Right Thing. Say what you like about Spike Lee's media antics and his seemingly waning abilities as a filmmaker of note; Do the Right Thing was an incredible movie that not only rocketed Lee into the public forum, but allowed a African American filmmakers access to Hollywood funding and production assistance. Do the Right. Thing takes place in the Bedford-Stuyvesapart of Brooklyn on the hottest day of the sum- nt (7 b u r e enough, before the end of the film everybody will blow up in an impas-- s i o n e d mer.

Lee's father,' Bill Lee, hired on then unappreciated a Branford Marsalis to help him with the unenviable task of meshing Public Enemy and other East Coast rappers with cool Cajun jazz riffs. And -- Ernest Dickerson provided the cinematography that gave Lee his trademark look, and allowed us immediate access to the various characters. Dickerson's slanted horizons and muted color schemes have been widely imitated (particularly in gritty TV police dra- - mas). Unfortunately, when Dickerson left Lee to pursue his own career, Lee never again seemed to be able to capture the magic that he once possessed. Spike Lee may not be what he once was (did anybody out there even bother to see Crooklyni) and his dreams of being able to get Hollywood funding on par with his white counterparts may have died along with Malcolm X's box office receipts, but for one brief shining moment he reigned supreme and even to , transform managed Brooklyn into a modernized version of Camelot.
