This is Spike Lee's worst movie. Don't waste your time.
... View MoreI love good movies and this one is at the very top of my best ones. I can't believe how it is ranked so low. I read some reviews that criticized the director about racism but i believe that the people that say that they actually be the ones that may be "guilty" in some part... The fact that someone show a reminder about bad things doesn't mean that they can possible be bad themselves, the same thing goes on the other way around..., by the way, it isn't for this that good movies are made for?Very beautiful history, excellent actors and acting, movie picture, movie direction with backwards. Amazing. All stars, for this one.
... View MoreI am a young black women that rarely gets to see MY HISTORY on the big screen. Were the facts all the way correct...NO..was it suppose to be...NO. Do you know how many movies BASED on history are made and nobody says a damn thing. This movie is about Buffalo soldiers. You know the soldiers that get one paragraph in today's history books. Other reviews say the black men in this movie weren't depicted right. ITS THE 40S! They had a character for every black man in that time period. I APPRECIATE every character depicted in this movie because they were real. They showed all perspectives. I WISH RedTails was like this movie...down and dirty and REAL. You don't like it because you DON'T SEE IT! I hope you watch it again and again and I myself will CONTINUE to show every person I know this movie...matter fact...I just forced my brother to watch it. It may not be perfect but it open your eyes to reality. That is all folks.
... View MoreI was quite eager to see what Spike Lee could do with a very crucial point in Italian history, and a very tragic one. The slaughter in Sant'Anna di Stazzema was one of the most outrageous and shocking crimes committed during World War II by the Nazi army, still an open wound which seems never ready to be healed. When you put the slaughtering of 900 men, women, children in the very title of your new movie, you must be sure your focus is on that event. You may not represent it directly, but it must stand as the point around which not only the whole story, but also the messages it is due to convey revolve. "Miracle at Sant'Anna" instead revolves around the theme of the "buffalo soldiers", the racial matter, white generals discriminating Afro-American soldiers. The Italian characters are highly stereotyped, as well as their problems, which seem to lay far in the background, just as a sort of mere setting. And what about the people at Sant'Anna? Honestly, I have the impression that Lee should have chosen another setting if his intentions were to display aspects of racism during WW II. Sant'Anna is too much of a raw nerve to be used for a second purpose.
