I went and saw the latest movie about the Tuskegee Airmen, Red Tails. The movie focuses on the Airmen, already in the war, and their low level assignments behind the lines in Italy.
It highlights their battle as men at war, as black men in a very prejudiced Army, and pilots against the vaunted Luftwaffe.
It has a good cast, and some of the best dog fighting scenes of any movie. It also has some really corny lines and is dripping with cliches. For a movie that took George Lucas so long to make (he started this project in the 80's)he should have delivered more. The best part of this movie is the air scenes.
I overall enjoyed this movie but felt like it needed a little more in it. 2 and 3/4 Floyd's
