This tale of racial strife is a wonderful chance for interactive watching that is every bit as involved as going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. But in the spirit of "doing the right thing," watching this movie can be for your own good.
Self-Improvement:
Every time someone says the F-word, do a sit-up. Please consult a physician before beginning this program however, as you will be doing no less than 200-250 sit-ups in a two hour period.
Improving your love life:
Then, every time, Sal says “This is my place!” or a reference to it being his place, you ask your wife what she is thinking (stop the movie) and listen. This should, depending, make the movie last about 4 and-a-half-hours. You will learn many new things and hopefully help you space out your sit-ups to a workable level.
Improving the Environment:
For every racial slur you hear, add something to your newly-created compost heap. It should be about three feet high when the final credits roll.
Improving your walk with God:
Every time the mayor has a beer, say a quick prayer. Don’t go on too long though, as you may miss some swearing, you may miss a racial slur or cause your wife to think you have passed out doing the self-improvement part of the interactive movie experience.
Have fun with it, improve your health, your relationships, the world around you and your spiritual life by watching Do the Right Thing. However, beware of just watching this movie as an attempt to be entertained. Because, on its own, it’s a complete waste of time.
