Amusing and false

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2017)

Firstly, the scene of US soldiers in Europe are false, the American armed forces were segregated until Truman desegregated them in 1948, so African soldiers "fighting" and "marching" along side white soldiers is a joke.
As fore the political elements that surround this film, take a look at one such review: "This celluloid masterpiece sums up Ch 1 'Reconstructing Reconstruction' of Carol Anderson's "White Rage", SPECTACULARLY! "White Rage — The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide" "...the trigger for white rage, invariably, is black advancement. It is not the mere presence of black people that is the problem; rather it is blackness with ambition, with drive, with purpose, with aspirations and with demands for full and equal citizenship. It is blackness that refuses to accept subjugation, to give up." No, it's not black advancement that is the problem with white people, it's that blacks expect to "advance" within WHITE society rather than their own. In other words, stop expecting white people to gear their lives and society around the wants of black people. Do it for yourselves.
Another review got my attention: "This film did not leave me with a sense of hope. After WWII, many black men moved to Europe where they were treated as equals. I realize the Mudbound story takes place in 1940s but do people actually think America is the land of the free today? I don't think so. And seeing Americans vote someone like Trump into power only makes those of us on the outside wonder ... what is the fate of this country?" So black Americans moved to Europe where they were treated as "equals" eh? Well considering Europe is the indigenous land of, well Europeans, you know, those evil white skinned people, and did not have any population of blacks, and no racial problems or situations as a result of this demographic fact, is it any wonder blacks were viewed as a curiosity rather than has a hostile group? Believe me, in Europe today, full of third world migrants from Africa and the Mideast, those days are long gone. And while we're on the subject, Why do blacks complain about white racism, and then go live in the continent indigenous to and full of white people? Why not go to live in a nation and a part of the world far away from Europeans and our civilization if it's so "racist" and bad? All in all, this film is, unsurprisingly, leftist propaganda. Garrett Hedlund grows a cool mo, though.
