The film tries to show how there are different types of immigrants, as they understand the coexistence around the English language, as appropriate the language and territory qualified within a sociocultural context which shows that cultural variations, generate distortions of language, according customs and traditions of immigrants, it generates an appropriation of the territory to which it arrives.
Determining standards of living, where they face different personalities, different cultures and different ways of dealing with life situations, opportunities and needs.All this in an uneasy peace, which would take the viewer to try to understand the situations and experiences of the characters, but ultimately shows, detonating elements manifest and trigger a violent situation well manifested in human behavior in the language of these.
It shows how we can understand the coexistence and violence,the needs and thetotallity of different groups trying to understand a language and a culture that one way or another makes them partakers of His fullness.
Each character is a hint of possibilities of language, behavior denotes how decoding the English language, Latin people do not put aside their traditional words, Vietnamese immigrants who speak English in the same way they speak Chinese, Blacks who make it into a mixture of taste and pain, which articulated the words with words that mean nothing but give it a connotation grotesque form of expression, between ignorance and rudeness, a range of possibilities to understand a language, make it your own, to communicate or to destroy, to build a community or to fragment.
The film was written and directed by Spike Lee. The story is set on one block in a Brooklyn's neighborhood inhabited by Blacks and Latinos, but the local grocery is run by Koreans and the local eatery, Sal's Famous Pizzeria, is owned and managed by the Italian American Sal. His sons, Vito and Pino work there and the deliveryman, Mookie (Spike Lee), who lives with his sister, Jade, tries to do as little work as possible in his no-future job, and doesn’t pay any attention to his Puerto Rican girlfriend, Tina, and their infant son.
ReplyDeleteGiancarlo Esposito argued with Sal because he didn’t have black people on his “wall of fame”, so he convinced tow other guys that had had troubles with Sal’s Famous Pizzeria, too, Smiley and Radio Raheem so they went to argue with Sal. The tension increased and they started to fight. A few time later the police arrived and accidentally killed Radio Raheem, giving the people reasons to lose control and burn Sal’s place.
The film presents a society in crisis, a crisis both immediate and historical in nature. It's significant that what eventually brings the conflict to a head is the seemingly unimportant absence of black faces on Sal’s wall. Viewed in itself, it's trivial, but to Esposito that wall represents a historical distortion: the lie that black people's contributions to our society don't rate commemoration.
