Da 5 Bloods

Movie- Da Five Bloods

Director- Spike Lee

Genre- Action/ adventure/ drama/ war

Just watched the movie Da 5 Bloods on Netflix.

What an amazing, movie!

This movie is about four American war veterans who are on a mission to Vietnam to bring back the mortal remains of their squad leader Stormin' Norman and also the gold they hid there decades ago. The director is Spike Lee and he takes you on a hard hitting journey through the ravages of the Vietnam War. He also shows us gut wrenching true to life scenes like that of public execution, the Napalm bombing and the My Lai massacre. There was so much about history I was unaware of. This made me want to learn more about these incidents in history that have been buried in obscurity like the gold in this movie. In the movie too there are a lot of gun fights, it's a war after all, what did you expect! There are also lame mine blasts and grenade attacks.This movie is surely not for the weak hearted. There is too much of violence and what hurts more are the true to life scenes that make an entry in between with mention about them. This is a brilliant movie that should not be missed.

A mention has to be made about the amazing posters of this film. They are creative and they resonate with the mood of the movie.

This movie has made me want to to go back in history, to see the stories of the past wars that have shaped us. The timing of this film release could not have been better with the BLM (Black Lives Matter) movement going on.

A must watch.!
