Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods

Watching Spike Lee during this year's Academy Awards, I kept wondering what he's done lately. Now I know.

Un-whitewashed Vietnam history. Highly recommended.

Back to the future meets Black Lives Matter. I did not like the ending, but really good. [link:

Much appreciated!

I'm watching Da 5 Blood right now. I'm thinking it's going to be a version of Apocalypse Now or The Treasure of Sierra Madre (with a MAGA hat reminder thrown in). Am I on the right track?

That's saying something, since I thought that about Black KKKlansman.

So far it's rough and real and more complicated than it looks.
