It was immediately clear that I was going to a war drama. The issue of racial oppression was also clear from the trailer. But who would have thought that the issue of color would be the main theme of the film.
It’s hard for a black man growing up in school, in flight school, in the service, and of course even his neighbors look down on him. How many times do we have to repeat this? I do not understand the hero. He is insulted and bullied, and he cries. Yes, he really cries halfway through the film for cause and for no reason at all. And he’s not the only one. And when he does become part of his team, he manages to get offended by the fact that his friends protected him from the attacks and got into a fight. What kind of idiocy is that?
He is far from the best pilot, but with great ambition. Violates an order, and then wonders why the senior wrote about it in the report. The senior lieutenant even goes into the situation and, together with the rest of his fellow officers, writes a report on the heroic behavior in combat, but that is not enough for him. I was just waiting for all the white men to line up before him on the deck of the aircraft carrier and get down on their knees in unison. Good thing that didn’t happen.
The picture is decent, but of the two and a half hours of total movie time the pilots are in the sky for literally fifteen minutes. They could have stayed in the hangar.
I’ll say nothing about the bad Russians, everyone is used to this idea. It’s good that China and North Korea are in our camp. The cowardly Americans were already afraid to even fly into Chinese territory in 1950. True, by some miracle two obsolete turboprop fighters of the USA managed to shoot down the Soviet Mig jet fighter. A fabulous story… As a miracle the pilots were unable to shoot down several anti-aircraft guns, but the rifle from World War I managed to do it. That’s a mystery.
The top of stupidity and a clear sign of his mental health is a book of insults during his 24 years of life. Why bring it up and put yourself through the meat grinder of humiliation over and over again when things are so different now?
