Thread by @viet_t_nguyen: Here We Go with My Live Tweeting of Spike Lee's #Da5Bloods. I'm an Admirer of Many of Lee's Movies. I'm Also Someone Who Has Seen Almost All..., threadreaderapp.com/thread/1273028020459040768.html.
Some jokes about bad American movies like Rambo and Missing in Action. Well deserved. Those movies are horrible on rewatching (Rambo) and bad the first time around (MIA).
Now "Ride of the Valkyries" (from Apocalypse Now) as the guys sail off down the river (as in AN).
Are those Nikes????
And a Black man saying gook is still a man saying Gook.
it's an American who gets killed by a mine. Even if it's a Black American. The focus is taken off the numerical reality of who paid the biggest price for America's use of these things.
Now it looks like this movie is about Black versus White, with Vietnamese on the margins again
And Vietnamese gangsters would have just killed all these people immediately and taken the gold.
Vietnamese gangsters are scary AF.
And when we ARE agents, like these gangsters? It's Deer Hunter time, kill the gooks
as for the Vietnamese woman killer, see Susan Jeffords' REMASCULINIZATION OF AMERICA, where she talks about the Vietnam War movie of the 1970s
