RED TAILS, WHY CARE

Couple of weeks ago, George Lucas's Red Tails, debut starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrance Howard, Neyo, Tristan Wilds and our Michael B. Jordan. Though it tells the amazing story of the Tuskegee Airmen, with their contribution to WWII and the hardships of racism within the forces, it wasn't really popular with critics. The Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post, writes that it  wasn't as informational or inspiring as hyped up to be. IT CAN'T BE TRUE, IT WAS APPROVE BY PRESIDENT OBAMA! Though I have not seen the movie... YET, I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, because the characters are fictional, based on real life Tuskegee pilots or they use a lot of comedy and satire in difficult and important situations. I think those news post disapprove of this Lucas film, because it was already done before. In interviews, Lucas explained that he's aiming for a younger audience; well he's got me, with those dogfights in those fighter jets (great cinematography). What "people" need to realize is the bigger picture, African-Americans played a greater role in the war too. Last year in my U.S. History class, we watched a scene from Pearl Harbor and I didn't see not one black person. The class history book or my teacher didn't even mention the Tuskegee. Until this movie I had no idea of the Tuskegee in WWII or it being a remake. I'm not ignorant in knowing my Black History or History in general, because television or school for that matter, don't acknowledge it or go deep into. Even the Civil Rights section wasn't very informational, only giving props to Martin Luther King Jr. what about the others. HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE; I know that like the back of my hand. I can't wait to see this movie, so that I can form my own opinion and get educated. If you still haven't seen it, go see or wait for the DVD. SUPPORT MICHAEL B. JORDAN!!!!!
