  This movie moved me to tears. I didn't feel the 3 hours go by. Spike Lee managed to blend little known historical facts about the Buffalo soldiers (little known in the mainstream, anyhow), all the while weaving in a story of profound humanity, tenderness and chaos during a time of war. Spike Lee is one of his generations' most skilled directors. As for the racist ignorant [...] who comment on the movie being 'yet another Spike Lee rant against whitey', they did not get it at all and have no appreciation for art and social commentary. These [...] comments are pissing me off. It was a story about PEOPLE, about brotherhood, about bonding through chaos, about small town life in Italy amidst the horror of war, about a traumatized, yet touching little boy who held on to his ability to dream, about suffering and loss. And yes, there were references about the hardship and segregation that black soldiers experienced in World war II because that is HISTORICAL FACT and there is no reason why it should be censored from the movie just to appease a bunch of [...] who feel uncomfortable having to deal with any social commentary about black experiences. By the way, the racism wasn't the sole commentary of the movie (you did notice it was set in Italy, didn't you? ) and if that's all you saw, then you are blind, deaf [...]. Yes, The ending is a little melodramatic and doesn't constitute the best part of the movie. But this movie is worth being seen. Unfortunately, it seems as if it won't remain on screen very long since it just premiered a few days ago and only plays downtown now (other theaters seem to have pulled it out) It's a shame. A little uneven at times, but overall quite beautiful.
(7/10)
