In my personal opinion, I think that the movie "Do The Right Thing" is very informative and eye opening. The messages that are being conveyed reach the audience very well and inform the audience of what is going on. One message that I believe was conveyed is respect. In the scene where Clifton pushes past Buggin' Out steps on his sneakers. When Buggin' Out realizes that Clifton messed up his sneakers, he made sure that Clifton didn't get away until he knew what he did wrong. Buggin' Out brought up the fact that he should have said excuse me. Also, Buggin' Out continues on saying that Clifton shouldn't be in his neighborhood. Buggin' Out is trying to get the message across that there should be a mutual ground of respect. A big example of tension in this film would be when Punchy and Cee got Charlie and his car soaking wet. When they ruined his car, Charlie got the attention of the police officers and demanded that they "arrest the two little black boys". Charlie chose to keep referring them to only their skin color. That created tension with the neighborhood considering the fact that they witnessed everything.
