Salvatore "Sal" Fragione is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin' Out, becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.

Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing also left Pascal reeling: “If you think about it, there hasn’t been a movie that comes close to addressing what that movie was so bold in looking at at the time. It’s also something I saw in the movie theatre with my father. It changed my brain. It recalibrated the way that I looked at the world that I was living in.”

I still have to see Do the Right Thing. But I’ve seen like five minutes of it and I was amazed.

He was trying to show me his sophisticated side by selecting an independent filmmakerIt ended up being a pretty good movie. Do the Right Thing' still holds up a mirror to our society, and it makes us laugh, and think, and challenges all of us to see ourselves in one another.

"It’s as important and good as Goodfellas. If you have not seen it, this is what you should watch today. It’s one of the best movies ever made. I don’t know how to even describe its importance. It’s just the best. There’s few films I wanna use the 'I word' for, which is 'important', but this is an important film! Spike Lee is the GOAT. I could put 20 of his movies on here."
