CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mister Senor
Love Daddy (
Samuel L. Jackson) wakes up the neighborhood with his distinctive radio sounds along with the day's forecast.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Spike Lee dives head-first into a maelstrom of racial and social ills, using as his springboard the hottest day of the year on one block in
Brooklyn, NY. Three businesses dominate the block: a storefront radio station, where a smooth-talkin' deejay (Samuel L. Jackson) spins the platters that matter; a convenience store owned by a
Korean couple; and
Sal's Famous Pizzeria, the only white-operated business in the neighborhood. Sal (
Danny Aiello) serves up slices with his two sons, genial
Vito (
Richard Edson) and angry, racist
Pino (
John Turturro). Sal has one black employee,
Mookie (Spike Lee), who wants to "get paid" but lacks ambition. His sister
Jade (
Joie Lee,
Spike's sister), who has a greater sense of purpose and a "real" job, wants Mookie to start dealing with his responsibilities, most notably his son with girlfriend
Tina (
Rosie Perez). Two of Mookie's best friends are
Radio Raheem (
Bill Nunn), a monolith of a man who rarely speaks, preferring to blast
Public Enemy's rap song
Fight The Power on his massive boom box; and
Buggin' Out (
Giancarlo Esposito), nicknamed for his coke-bottle glasses and habit of losing his cool. When Buggin' Out notes that Sal's "
Wall of Fame," a photo gallery of famous Italian-Americans, includes no people of color, he eventually demands a neighborhood boycott, on a day when tensions are already running high, that incurs tragic consequences.
