In A Year That Sees Pandemics, Horrible Movies, And Studios Trying To Kill Movie Theaters, This Is Refreshing!

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2020)

Spike Lee's newest film DA 5 BLOODS is out on Netflix now is about a group of African-American war veterans who served together in Vietnam and return to the city to find the remains of their fallen comrade and the gold he promised them.
What a wonderful, thought-provoking, and timely movie. One of the best movies of the year! Delroy Lindo is gunning for that Oscar, deserves and Oscar nomination, and should win.
This is by far Spike Lee's most ambitious and violent film to date. The story may not seem like it plays out to something that will have relevancy to the current climate, but it's Spike Lee and he manages to weave in messages about society's pitfalls and the current political climate in ways you would never understand.
One of the very best of the year to this point, and it feels so good to say that a movie is "one of the best of year" in a year that has studios are trying to kill movie theaters, a global pandemic, and more movies that are horrendous rather than great.
DA 5 BLOODS belongs in popcorn heaven!
