13380084, Don't you dare touch the ending of The Right Thing!

No way to neatly wrap it up. No feel good ending is appropriate. Super sad and melodramatic would betray the first 90% of the movie.

I think the ending is true to life in that cop kills a black person and life goes on.


I don't think Spike was trying to say anything in particular. I think he wantedd to show what happens and let you take what you want from it.
