 Review
by David BruceLove is More Than War! Writer McBride tells us that the WW2 Buffalo Soldier weren’t the first African Americans to fight for the U.S., in fact, the term Buffalo Soldier dates back to the Mexican War. It was a nickname that the Native Americans gave to them. All but forgotten to history, suddenly the Buffalo Soldier emerge into our awareness. Good things and service do not get the press. Bad things do. This movie reminds us that ultimately, despite the headlines, it’s good that has real eternal value. Thanks Spike Lee for this epic reminder! Best part:
Plagued by the boy’s
traumatic past and language barriers, the characters must
find a way to communicate. The soldiers speak English, the
kid speaks Italian. Sam Train, a gentle giant comes up with
this system of tapping. They connect! |
