The 1989 movie that became the “most explosive moment” of Edward Norton’s cinemagoing lifeAll it took was one trip to the cinema for Edward Norton to know that he wanted to be involved in cinema, with a single screening altering his entire worldview. Thanks to his breakthrough performance in Primal Fear, Norton was predicted to be one the most important actors of his generation, a reputation that he has only somewhat lived up to. Being involved in something with such a tremendous reach is something that Norton was passionate about, and he credits it to a 1989 classic that reshaped his perception of what cinema could be. “I wasn’t a kid then, but in terms of formative experiences, seeing Do the Right Thing in the movie theatre, that was definitely one of the most explosive moments,” Norton told Vulture. It was one of the most provocative, in a great way, movies I had ever seen.”
