It was a strong film, and a timely one too.

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2020)

The plot is loose, but the themes of fraternity, paternity, the neverending legacy of wars and racism portrayed with great depth, realism keeps this production tight.
Spike Lee continues in his great tradition of introducing a novel technique or touch to his works. In this case having the same actors play themselves 50 years in the past without the use of any special effects--at least I have never seen that before. This adds to the film's ethereal and timeless aspects.
Encasing soulful Marvin Gaye tracks sometimes brought to screen by Hanoi Hannah and sweeping, beautiful shots of HoChiMinh city, the Mekong and the jungle, this film is a joy to watch and behold. Even as it packs a punch to the gut of America about her treatment of African Americans despite that tribes long history of sacrifices for flag and country.
