Do The Right Thing?

In the film Do The Right Thing, the use of color was very effective. The whole film takes place in two of the hottest days of the year, which is shown very vividly through the brilliance of the overall colors of the film. The buildings are all red/orange and everyones' clothing is (are?) boldly red or neon blues. I think that the colors in the film really help the audience to relate to how hot it is, and how crazy tense everyone starts getting because of the heat. The colorful backgrounds seem to make everything happy looking, but could also be interpreted as just plain loud- which happens to affect how people act.
