While twenty-nine years has passed since its release, Spike Lee’s 1989 film Do The Right Thing remains a tragically relevant tale of race relations, heated confrontations, and police violence. As the sweltering summer heat rises in the black Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, racial tensions escalate between the locals and the Italian-Americans. Characters sweat and scream, fight and fend, dance and die. On screen, Spike Lee depicts a 1989 Brooklyn that acts as a magnified view of what was happening politically and socially outside the theater. Coupled with Public Enemy’s 1989 hit “Fight the Power,” Do The Right Thing acts as a artistic acknowledgment of the various forces that oppressed minority groups in the 1980’s. Spike Lee uses “Fight the Power” as a musical leitmotif to bring attention a theme of racial tension and power imbalances within society. The leitmotif becomes the film’s theme song, intensifying moments of conflict and narrating dialogue-free scenes to explore abuses of power.

Albert Cohen, an American criminologist, developed the theories of status frustration and reaction formation, which, in applied to these circumstances, can serve to explain the emergence of the Hippie subculture in opposition to mainstream, American culture.
