Review of Da 5 Bloods (2020) by Hotlikewasabi — 20 Jun 2020
People who are giving this movie high ratings have to be too scared to honestly rate a Spike Lee movie at the height of the BLM movement. It’s awful. The script is predictable and the characters (maybe on purpose?) are racist stereotype caricatures.
I mean- maybe if you thought it was an absurdist comedy it would work- but the fact that Lee includes real footage of MLK and other significant and violent events of the Vietnam war makes me think he was going for something.
..inspirational....thought provoking...dramatic? I gave it 4 stars for the way that Otis and Paul were portrayed by the actors- that took skill.
