Well, it's high time that Mr. Lee set us straight on what really went on. There are plenty of great stories to be told. For those who get their history education from books and not the movies, it's hard to believe anything he will make would pass muster with the modest of historians. As for making a tell-all war movie, he's certainly in the position to do so now, I don't know why he hasn't done it earlier. Maybe he just learned that there was a WW2 recently. He is bashing Hollyweird for not making movies that portrayed black GI's. Isn't Hollyweird the biggest liberal bastion in the country? Isn't he a Hollyweirdian? I have no problem seeing a well made movie of any military subject matter. I really liked "A Soldier's Story" myself. "The Tuskegee Airman" was enjoyable as well. The latter title had a slight modern spin on it, the former didn't. On was made in the 80s before PC was popular, the other in the 90s when it was the norm. Not to sound like a movie basher, I believe the script of "The Tuskegee Airmen" was written as such because the modern movie goer has no idea what happened last week, much less what happened 60 years ago. I'd really be surprised that Spike Lee could make a high calibre movie that had much relevence to reality. Hopefully I would be proven wrong.
