[QUOTE="ghostchild, post: 2405832, member: 24880"]Life is short...and I write like it's short... The movies ok...not bad...it is what it is...a comic book character turned real life... It actually takes place back in the 40's, during WW II It's an ok film...but like many films today...it tries to be culterally correct... Here's the deal... Many of the very young newer in society don't know about or understand the racial segregation that occurred back in the 40's in this nation of America... So in a lot of these new modern movies...whenver a film is depicted taking place back then...they are not historically acurate in as far as racial relations... Sorry, but back in the 40s, black soldiers and white soldiers and Asian soldiers weren't like all buddy buddy and giving each other foot messages...not at all... Racial segregation was hard and heavy back then...troops in the United States Armed forces were segregated based on color...that's just history...and truth... but in this film..they try to act like none of that occured...as if 'racism' didn't occur back then...by showing black soldiers eating meals with white soldiers and no one objecting...sorry but that stuff just didn't occur back then... And again...I realize that these new films are targeting an audience that was born well after that era...the young today understand nothing about what went on back then...so these new movies have to depict a more sanitized version of yester year... But for those of us who do study history...it just seems 'false' 'fake'..'phoney'.... And you know me by now...I like things that are real...ugly as they may be...i need for things to reflect reality...whether in real life or on film... Black and white soldiers weren't all lubby dubby together...as depicted in this film...or Asian soldiers...they were all kept apart and segregated... But if you watch this film, you would thing racism never existed in America...and that a black man could drink from the same cup as a white man back then...again false... But other than not portraying that part of history accuratly..it's an ok film so far...still not finished watching it...[/QUOTE]
