In the Movie Do the Right Thing and the book The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon is see some of the ideas of Spike Lee and Frantz Fanon in that they are both trying to show the struggles and minorities of begin colonize by different groups. Although Frantz focuses on more a worldwide views then that of Spike. Frantz look at it as a big picture, while Lee looks at it more of a detailed look. Lee focuses on a neighborhood while Frantz looks at the struggles of Algeria. In the movie you see the different struggles that race go thru in ones neighborhood that has such diversity. While in the book it look more at two areas in which France and Algeria are fighting and try to get there independence.
But one area that I see different is that Frantz seems to attack more of the white person for the problems that are begin caused. While in Lee’s movie it show that it just can not be blamed on just one side, he shows that all people involved in the situation of the movie are the different race are just as responsible. In Lee movie it seem like black people are colonizing the neighborhood. I think you see this when the character Buggin Out it trying to force Sal, the Pizza Place owner to chase the Wall of fame and add African-Americans to the wall. But Sal does not want to put any African-Americans on the wall. There are some connections between Frantz book and Lee’s movie but there are also some disconnections that the work does not look at in the same way.
