Red Tails - Movie 2012

Title: Red Tails
Rating: 6.5/10
Director: George Lucas, Anthony Hemingway

Set in the most bloody era of all time, Red Tails tells the story of a squadron of African-American fighter pilots in world war 2. Faced with prejudice and racism these pilots struggle to do their best for a country that does not give them their rights.
This squadron also known as The Tuskegee Airmen consists of Captain Martin Julian (Nate Parker), Lieutenant Joe Little (David Oyelowo), Lieutenant Ray Gannon (Tristan Mack Wilds), Lieutenant Andrew Salem (Ne-Yo), Lieutenant Samuel George (Elijah Kelly), Who all have to perform their missions with old out of date aircraft.
This is a very special and very beautifully made movie, The special effects of which were spectacular to behold. Also this movie conveys a very important message that adversity always makes people stronger rather than destroying them and that the amount of courage or capabilities of a person is not measured by mundane things like skin colour or ethnicity.
In short this movie is truly worth watching and will not fail to excite you. However a few moments that cannot be mentioned without spoiling the movie for those who have not watched it yet were cliched and fantasized.
A must watch for fans of aerial warfare, Since that is the best thing about this film.
