Movie Review: Lucas ruins another great story
Glenn went out to see a movie last night and caught Red Tails, produced by George Lucas who is of course of Star Wars and Indiana Jones fame. It's about the first all black fighter squadron in the U.S. Military -- you may recall them as the Tuskegee Airmen. It's an absolutely amazing story and absolutely unfortunate that George Lucas was the one to get his hands on it. Glenn says he doesn't recall ever coming out of a movie being upset with the director - until this one. Ref. Source 6
Red Tails - 1944. To help win the war, the Pentagon brass has no choice but to consider the untested African-American pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program. Just as the young Tuskegee men are about to be shut down and shipped back home, they are given the ultimate chance to show their courage. These intrepid young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country - and the fate of the free world.
