See this area now in 2024 soooooooooooo different 😮

Man, what a behind-the-scenes documentary. It’s so fascinating! And seeing the rehearsals, a young Giancarlo Esposito, unbelievable.

George the mom reads him the verse , the guy shelters him well, mom has the beautiful girl visit John, she kisses John knowing he’ll come back with Jesus and love the girl on earth as their fine in the heat and lite of heaven till jesus brings him back with his friend , somewhere in time , I’m not sure how his lady friend died or when , he was fine in heaven with his new body , ill see how and when she died and always believe in your faith and Jesus , the black community does thet the best , they must be gods people just like the Hebrews

A true much missed great interviewer, he certainly met some amazing stars I wonder if they signed a souvenir book for him imagine that it'd be priceless

this is gold.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Danny Aiello talking to Spike trying to explain Sal could have been in the movie😂😂. True professionals.

Fine thoughts !

It's interesting to consider Kubrick's own evolution as a filmmaker. As a kid he was talented enough to demand respect from his actors. But it seems like he did that without being unreasonably demanding. I wonder how relatively tight productions became slug fests lasting sometimes over an entire year. Kubrick was never profligate in his spending. He wanted control and time - lots of time. I think a part of it was the ever increasing intricacy of his shot composition. Barry Lyndon and The Shining are gorgeous films to look at - albeit for different reasons. Setting up his shots and actually filming them must have been like balancing spinning plates. Without precision it's just not going to work.

DTRT will always be in my top 5 movie of all times. Brooklyn in my heart now and forever. I met Spike he’s a talented brother. Respect ✊🏽

Ossie Davis is my Spirit Animal🙌🏿🔥

Remember watching this in a cinema in Madrid when it came out in 89 Great casting Acting Cinematography. An early roll for Ossie Davis in “ The Hill “ well worth a watch

And to think we are still here 30+ years later 💔

That looks like it fucking rocks

This is gold. ❤

"Spike Lee Addresses Gentrification Spike Lee’s insight into racial injustice was ahead of its time, but his response to Brooklyn’s biggest problem seems more somber. Brooklyn gentrification is devaluing the borough’s African-American and Black immigrate roots in favor of luxury housing and businesses White people can afford. “It’s bad…and it’s global,” Lee told Nu Origins. “It’s sad, it’s sad.” Lee, who’s known best for his off-the-wall energy and stage presence, was stricken with grief that his beloved Brooklyn isn’t what it used to be." 2019

AMAZING!

2024. Funny how much many parts of Bed Stuy has changed since then. (Sidenote) On the backstory of this docu-behind the scenes, even Howard Beach has changed a LOT as well.

It’s amazing to see the process of the making of this movie some of the actors are not with us anymore n others have become major stars, directors, producers, choreographers, Artist etc. 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🙏💜Spike Lee movies gave the world insight into the black experience of the day. Ohh snap look at the big Ad.for Mike Tyson on the side of the building!

This actor is a classic. Timeless. Fine as ever. 🍿

The Cast is ridiculous: JCE, Sam Jackson, Martin Lawrence, John Turturo, Danny Aielo, Sam Nunn. Ruby Dee, Ozzie Davis, Rozie Perez, Robin Harris, come on now !

What a powerful cultural mouvement Spike Lee and his crew facilitated. 30 years before George Floyd, so powerful and influenced a generation of black consciousness. Where is this man’s Oscar !!

Yaul seen what and how to make a movie now you can do it😊

Keep this up. This is relevant, timeless and historic.

Mother sister always watching 😂

Those Muslim brothers aren't messing around.

I’m surprised Spike didn’t put some mafiosi reference in the Italian racist rant…

When she was saying when her mother came there it was gaslight and carriages , I forgot for a second this was filmed in circa 86-87…she was probably in her 50’s…so her moms probably came there when she was a child in the late 1890’s/early 1900’s

Yooo the Melvin Van Peebles movie is what Large Pro sampled for the beginning of "Live at the Barbecue", great flick!

Wow!! I enjoyed this more than the actual movie 🙌🏼🙌🏼

When Radio Raheem was choked by the cops 😮ringing any bells 🔔 to the future of what we witnessed with George Floyd?

Ossie Davis a true legend

I Loved this so much. the details and the happiness of the actors and community is inspiring just what I needed as an up and coming Movie maker. Thanks for sharing. Now I must re watch the movie lol

When you've seen the whole making of video but not the real movie

So Danny Aiello is a racist

Should have been shown in schools when they first released this documentary.

Why did it take so long to shoot though?

I was a kid in Brooklyn around the time spike made that movie. During the making of that movie and fight the power video by public enemy I went to JHS 35 right down the block. Great childhood Times ✊🏾

In The Late '80s to The Early '90s, conscience Hip-Hop was on rotation on the radio, independent black films, independent black comic books, black owned clothing lines, positive black TV shows. To me, it was a magical time.

Rosie Perez😮😮😮❤❤

Early days at 40 acres and a mule.

Took 2 different broads Too see this Then took my son and his friend to see it as well 5 times altogether Great Piece

Everybody in the same room and building on that spike Lee, is that what you said? Maybe you should’ve listen to Zodiac because if you’re born in March like yo ass, Jerry Lewis, you got the same thoughts, Sidney Poitier Mark Cuban, Jimmy Ivy, Robin Thicke, Justin Bieber common Rihanna Vanessa Williams oh, I can go on and on and on that’s why you work so hard because you were only PISCES!!!! you could’ve got Tyler, The Creator you guys even look alike we’re the same shit Pisces…….. Oscie Davis looking like the late great Patrice O’Neal. SAGITTARIUS’s ladies and gentlemen, and they’re not even related.

I love this. Such a sweet time capsule of this part of Brooklyn.. most of Bed-Stuy is now gentrified beyond recognition. I know it was kind of dangerous back then but it was LIVE

This is extremely insightful and very fun to watch. The genius of Spike Lee and this fantastic crew.

damm this shit was good!!

I'm not sure why this was recommended. I hadn't searched for Spike Lee or any of his movies. That said, I'm glad that it was! Took me back , thanks!
