Good movie this one. A poignant example of how the blacks were treated and how they were thought of.

Laurence Fishburne is fine and I really liked the mix of real ww2 images, this is many times better than the fake stunt images that you often encounter in these types of films

A great film that unfortunately shows the struggle that black people were not taken for granted at the time. It is even said somewhere by a senator from America that black people could not operate complicated machines because the blood flow runs through thinner veins than white people. The "über ich" (superego) behavior, the behavior that occasionally disgusted me during the film.

But luckily the black men show that they can do it and even better than their white "superior" colleague. In the end they are asked by the pilots of the bomb squadron to escort them to Berlin because since they have been escorting the Lancasters not one has been shot down!

A film not to be forgotten quickly, especially due to the biased behavior of certain people who later have to back down. And of course because of the good acting of Laurence Fishburne!

A spacious 7!

Film that responds quite well to the sentiment. It reflects how Americans thought (and still think) about people of color. The group of black pilots makes all prejudices fade.

"Plot The Tuskegee Airmen" is a tribute to the 332 Company. But the us ern can be the many films that pay homage to units that have fought in wars.

I didn't think the mixed images at the dogfights and bombings were the right choice. The film seems more like a staged documentary.

The acting is okay.

If you like WWII planes then this is definitely a fun movie.

I thought it was too sentimental.
