Review of Miracle at St. Anna (2008) by Ryan K — 26 Jun 2016
I generally hate war movies. Realistic violence and the true horrors of war do not sit well with someone who generally views movies as an escape. I wanted to see this Spike Lee joint at the first trailer I saw.
More than a war movie, this is a story of four Buffalo Soldiers who end up in Italy. More than that this is a story of a father/son bond between one of those soldiers, Train, and an abandoned Italian boy, Angelo.
Even though they cannot communicate verbally they create their own tapping language amid a violent backdrop surrounded by all the evils of war. Highly recommended.
