Da 5 Bloods was described as follow:

Film about the experiences of Black soldiers during the Vietnam War. You unfortunately don't see many films about the experiences of Black soldiers in any war (outside of Glory but even then, the main character's white) so this is a refreshing and interesting approach to the genre.

Henry V was described as follow (putting both the 1944 version and the 1989's propagandas as both are adaptations from the same play by Shakespeare)

Henry V wants to take parts of France back into the british kingdom. Makes a great speech to his soldiers. Was parallel playing on my phone in the same room as someone watching it so Idk much else about it but it was good!

Henry V is insulted by the french Dauphin and thus decides, in a completely logical and rationnal move, to declare war to him and claim french territories. Skip an hour and they're in Agincourt, ready for the best speech ever TODAY IS SAINT CRISPIAN

My ★★ review of Da 5 Bloods on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/41s5ad

Such a weird disjointed film. The editing is jarring, the characters are under-developed, the schmaltzy music is somehow both underused and overused, and the dialogue sometimes sounds like something from a 'Bad Lip Reading' video. The last of Paul's many breakdowns ended up being unintentionally hilarious.

My favourite bit was the cute little dance the four old geezers did in the bar at the start.

Also if Zack Snyder (rightly) gets shit for using 'Ride Of The Valkyries' in a Vietnam film then so should Spike Lee.

the notes on that post about the vietnam war veteran going back to vietnam for vacation and getting pranked by the tour guide are driving me CRAZY. "what if he was drafted and he has ptsd" was he drafted to vacation 60 years later. or did he go back of his own free will knowing full well this could be a triggering environment for him? it's almost like he has agency and has chosen to fly to vietnam and take + pay for this tour through an area with VC tunnels and then proceed to be so shocked and offended by a (relatively tame) prank that he yelled at the tour guide For Ten Consecutive Fucking Minutes

I finished veilguard AT LAST and enjoyed literally all aspects of the game immensely but I too have been plagued with The Blight (thoughts of how I would’ve personally improved it)
