At the beginning of the movie with dude being kind of a maverick, I was under the impression that he might not be the one to die. I thought that maybe they were going to state some facts about him at the end. As soon as he got engaged to ol girl, I knew right then that dude was going to get killed. That was predictable as hell. That's the only thing I didn't like about the movie. To me, shit like that is kind of irrelevant to what the movie was about.

I thought Lightening would die because he was crazy as hell but I wanted it to be less predictable than that. I thought that perhaps Easy would die. It was hypocritical how Lightening and Easy preached to each other about alcohol and risk-seeking behavior. They both had low self-control and were both risk-seekers. They had no reason to lecture each other.

I knew Junior was not dead.

It was funny when the Red Tails were invited to have drinks with the white pilots. The Red Tails looked shocked and speechless like someone pissed in their whiskey. LOL.

The thing with Lightening is at the very beginning of the movie, I thought dude was going to die because he didn't always follow orders. But when I saw him doing all that crazy shit throughout the moive, and still surviving, then I didn't think dude was going to die. As soon as he got engaged to that white girl, I knew then, that his black ass was grass LOL.

Especially back then. It really didn't matter, because if dude would have brought her back to the states, they would have lynched is black ass LOL. That would have been one Italian speaking mofo, because that's exactly where he was going to stay if he lived. I was cracking up at that part. My girl, and some other black women in the movie were talking shit when dude was diggin that white girl. Especially the part when he said "you're so beautiful" because some other dude said the same shit about white girl in Miracle at St. Anna, that Spike Lee movie. I personally really don't understand that shit either (interacial dating), but to each its own.

My friends and I agreed that the actress who played the Italian woman was not "so beautiful" but it is all a matter of perspective. The interracial relationship did not bother me because many soldiers had Black wives and Black children in the states, nonBlack lovers overseas, and all sorts of things.

LOL, I thought she was hit. Her face was all long n' shit. See, but that's the issue I have. Not so much with black dudes dating white girls per se, but I'm talking about black dudes who will pass up a fine black woman, for a mediocre white girl. What trips me out about movies like that is they always show black dude in awe about white girl, on his knees n' shit, etc. like she's the most beautiful thing to walk the planet. It just makes me think back to that movie about the KKK going after black dudes who messed with white girls. I can't think of the name of the movie, but it came out in the 20s and it was saying that black dudes crave, and rape white women, when we all know that shit was the other way around. I've seen some attractive white girls, but (to me) there's always a finer black woman. But then again, I'm just not as attracted to white girls like I am to black women. I feel you though. A lot of black soldiers did have black wives back in the states.

I'll get back to the movie because I don't want this thread to turn into a race thread LOL.

I was surprised at how action packed the movie was. When I saw the previews I thought it was too good to be true. I thought they were only going to show a few fighting scenes, but the movie was jam packed with special effects, which is what I look for in an action packed movie.

Which maybe the reason, as shown in the movie, they would have remained in Italy.
