This film took you on a ride

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2020)

I was bored and so I was like let me watch a film. I saw this film front and center as a Spike Film and I was like I'm not ready to hear what he has to say. I personally didn't like Blacklansman. I literally saw a Facebook post about it and I was like hell... what do I have to loose. I heated up some food and I sat down to watch it. I expected typical Spike.
So immediately my vision had to calibrate it's self because it felt weird seeing black men talk about being Vietnam vets. I always see white dudes doing that in film. So that felt off... BUT I know these men exist because I meet them a lot. My late step father was one! Anyways that was that. So I fixed my eyes and equipped myself for a Spike joint. So my heart was so warm by seeing the men in present day Vietnam. We don't see black older men with this back drop. Period. So then he starts connecting the storylines... you have all the well developed characters. I love how we're taking into each man's story a bit. So in the beginning it's a lot of backstory goodness.
AND the IT gets real when they finalize matters and trek it. Initially, I was like hey I don't want to see them get killed. But the way Spike poetically correlates their demise with real world reality for the black vet was SPOT on! I got chills.
And like how the PSTD was so real. I was on the edge all during the end.
Delroy deserves an Academy award for his performance. And Spike omg... brother I've been sleeping on you.
These idiots that gave reviews have no clue about the voice that you gave for BLACK vets! Like there will be dialogue and dialogue from this film. Thank you for giving them a VOICE.
It's about time.
Everyone should watch this film. And this is my very first review on IMDB. I needed to record it. I don't care is NOBODY recognizes the greatness in this film I do!!!!
