Uplifting, just like all of Disney movies :(

Rating: 6/10 (23 November 2015)

This is a good film with a lot of good uplifting music but like all Disney films it is highly sanitized and joyful. Its set in the early 70's in Virginia, and yet the only racial slurs used where "coon" and "boy" both derogatory racial terms for blacks, but still not truly how it would have been back then. That is the problem with Disney is that they try to make every film super clean and G-rated to get the widest audiences but they often forget how to keep it true and realistic to the time and place that it is supposedly taking place. And to top it off, having to compress it into a regular time allotment for a film they sped up the parts of training in which the people actually did bond and become close, but that took most of the training camp for them to do not over night.
