Great movie! I ordered this one in spanish so that grandma could see it. She loved it!DVD Review: The Struggle At Tuskegee
Summary: 5 Stars
As a history buff and a white person who despises the acts of any who consider themselves to be superior to any other race, I enjoyed seeing that these black men continued to prove their worth in the face of the pointless pressure applied by white officers who supposed themselves to be better. I understand from availing myself to other sources that the information provided by this movie are factual, but perhaps understated. I am proud of these brave men and I am sorry they never really received all that was due them as heroes. The foibles that these men exhibited only showed that they are quite human, and certainly no white person could deny similar traits. The story moves quite well in every aspect. The use of authentic vehicles was well done and crashes, et cetera, were done without destroying any vintage aircraft. This is a story that must be told, and has been told in this movie to good effect.
DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an exciting and pretty historically accurate story of the Tuskeegee Airmen. It accurately shows the blatent and universal bigotry of the period as well as the ability of some Blacks to rise above it. Highly recommended for high school students interested in getting a jump start on a really cool term paper. -Dennis in Richmond.DVD Review: VERY PLEASED
Summary: 5 Stars
DVD in very good condition and was delivered quite timely. Will not hesitate to use this service again.
Description of The Tuskegee Airmen
Featuring an all-star cast headed by Laurence Fishburne, fireballs of high speed air action explode off the screen in this exciting story of the "Fighting 99th," the first squadron of black American pilots to be allowed to fight for their country. Based on the true story.This true story of the black flyers who broke the color barrier in the U.S. Air Force during World War II is a well-intentioned film highlighted by an excellent cast. Proud, solemn, Iowa-born Laurence Fishburne and city-kid hipster Cuba Gooding Jr. are among the hopefuls who meet en route to Tuskegee Air Force Base, where they are among the recruits for an "experimental" program to "prove" the abilities of the black man in the U.S. armed services. Fighting prejudice from racist officers and government officials and held to a consistently higher level of performance than their white counterparts, these men prove themselves in training and in combat, many of them dying for their country in the process. Andre Braugher costars as a West Point graduate who takes charge of the unit in Africa and in Italy (where it's christened the 332nd). The film is rousing, if slow starting and episodic, but it's periodically grounded by a host of war movie clich?s, notably the calculated demise of practically every trainee introduced in the opening scenes (ironic given the 332nd's real-life combat record--high casualties for the enemy, low casualties among themselves, and no losses among the bombers they escorted). Ultimately the Emmy-nominated performances by moral backbone Fishburne and the dedicated Braugher and the energy and cocky confidence of Gooding give their battles both on and off the battlefield the sweet taste of victory. --Sean Axmaker
