from Hampton VA
I liked the movie, but I think George Lucas confused the main characters - Col Bullard, CPT "Easy" Julian, - with his iconic STAR WARS characacters Hans Solo, Luke Skywalker. The supporting characters - Deke, Lightning, Winky - were far more realistically portrayed. Cuba Gooding as pipe-smoking MAJ Stance added little to the flick - his character seemed be the "Yoda" of this film, and probably raked in big bucks for his minor role.In my judgment, the most poignant scenes are between Sofia and her African-American lover - done with dignity and pathos. The exploits of the REAL Tuskegee Airman in the 332nd Fighter Wing were far more noble and heroic than this film illustrates. I think George Lucas has never accepted his 2nd fiddle "trying to compete with"position to Steven Spielberg. Truth be told, this was a fun, "feel good" but inaccurate portrayal of a great group of heroes!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
