Oscar Memories
Hurrah for Hollywood. Even the left-wing element that inhabits that silly place did the right thing and dumped on Spike Lee’s racist fantasy, “Do the Right Thing,” a film so untrue to modern-day ghetto life it could have been made in Disneyland.
How can anyone make a two-hour film set in the ghetto and not address the drug-dealing and the resulting plight of ghetto inhabitants and then make it all right to burn down a man’s business?
Arson is all too well known in the ghetto, re the recent fire that killed 87 innocent people.
Oh well, a few, such as Kim Basinger, liked the film because it told the “truth.” The only “truth” she should understand is that she should seek a new hairdresser.
