Red Tails Movie
Storyline
The story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during World War II.Set in World War II, the story is about the African American pilots called Tuskegee Airmen based on true events. The pilots have to put up with discrimination from the military because of their colour. While the other pilots are on duty flying off to fight the enemy, the Tuskegee are left at base with planes which are not as good as their flying counterparts have and the pilots themselves are looked upon as being inferior pilots. Then as the Allied forces experience losses, the only answer is to call on the Tuskegee to help with their skills as pilots.
Red Tails is the story of the Tuskegee Airmen from WWII, who were the first African American fighter pilots.
I feel like this story has been told before, but still, the trailer looks pretty good.
I can’t tell if it will be a drama about race relations or an action film, but I’ve always wanted to see something in between. Well, not really, but I’ll still see it.
Essentially, during WWII, the US was losing a lot of planes to the Germans, and bombers were getting shot down before delivering their payload. This is bad. So the US Air Force decided to allow African Americans who had proven themselves in tests to fly actual missions. The Tuskegee Airmen distinguished themselves as courageous and capable pilots.
One thing. The trailer mentions that courage has no color. But cowardice is still yellow, right? I just want to be sure. You yella bellied bastards.
Anthony Hemingway is directing a screenplay by John Ridley, from a story by George Lucas. That’s right. Star Wars George Lucas. Expect slight deviations from history/logic. One of the black pilots is a Jedi, and he uses the force to avoid White Racist Vader’s attacks so he can blow up the Death Star.
And he has a light saber. It’s black and between his legs, but it’s made of LASERS.
Okay, so some of that may not be true. Can you decipher the clues and figure out who killed Roger Rabbit?
1944. As the war in Europe continues to take its toll on Allied forces, the Pentagon brass has no recourse but to consider unorthodox options -- including the untried and untested African-American pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program.
Just as the young Tuskegee men are on the brink of being shut down and shipped back home, they are given the ultimate chance to show their courage. Against all the odds, with something to prove and everything to lose, these intrepid young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country -- and the fate of the free world.
