I just seen the movie "Red Tails" and it was emotionally inspiring! These are the exact words that I posted on all of my social networking sites as soon as I left my seat after viewing. Red Tails is an amazing story from beginning to end. The outstanding cast, to the action scenes to the conclusion it told such a phenomenal story. I found myself on several occasions in tears because I am just so proud of where we, meaning African Americans, our country have come to face equality.
Yes, stereotypes will always be around, why? Because they are just a way of showing personal ignorance and immature thoughts! This movie against all odds fought the stereotypes and the prejudices head on that these young African American Airmen faced. Even when we see that no one would sponsor the production of this movie the director and producer George Lucas invested 100 million of his own funds to sponsor this action packed production. To be that passionate about a topic of racial equality and proving that not only are blacks as capable but even more qualified to do the work assigned to those of another race.
Do you feel racism still exists? That we are truly unequal? Just for the fact that critics said this movie would fail because it is a “black” starring cast! But it did not! One thing I do know is that this movie with African American upcoming actors, a remarkable story and topping box office numbers was a complete epic presentation. Red Tails is a must see, inspirational, heartfelt story that should bring to life the fact that “dreams do come true”!
What’s your story? Create your legacy!
Go see this movie, NOW! :)
