Any good war movies (in recent times) that feature black and other non-white soldiers?

Not trying to hate, but we don't get enough of our experiences up on screen as heroes. I do appreciate a WWI movie though. We have way too many WW2 movies. Surprised we don't have any Korean War flicks.

shyt was corny and cliche and this is coming from someone who has an affinity and very high tolerance for war movies dating back to ‘the dirty dozen’ and ‘kelly’s heroes’...idk how anyone expected this to win best picture

Best picture because of cinematography.

Best picture because of cinematography.

there’s a specific category for that which it won and deservedly so...but some folks wanted it to win best picture...shyt shouldn’t have even gotten a nomination for that

Oh, I know, but there are still people out there that think great visuals should win Best Picture.

I finally caught this and the cinematography (barring a few corny) special effects is bar none It's so easy on the eyes the one take sequence and the way it MASTERFULLY leverages tension the whole movie deserves allll the awards



Assuming we're talking cinematography awards and shyt, that is. Not best picture. The plot holes and lapse in common sense is damn near just as astounding

1600 men could die and you send TWO to save them? The fukk was everybody else doing so important that come they couldn't come. Then they see TWO of their own planes fly overhead in that direction? I'd be pissed if I'm marching thru corpses and mud and shyt. And then this b*stard tries to save the same german pilot??? He was just tryna kill the two pilots that should've given you a ride, what the fukk did you think he'd do to you?

Threw this on tonight, and this is even better than I remember, which is saying a lot because I enjoyed the hell out of it when I saw it in theaters.

Felt stressed as hell when they were pushing the truck out of the mud, had to stretch real quick.

Great flick. So intense. I love how everyone named in the title of the thread is barely in it. Gotta give George Mackay his props

I remember catching this film in theaters as it was nearing the end of its theatrical run. So good.

I missed Joker in theater, but caught this, Parasite, and Pain and Glory. 2019.
