I'm about to have a concussion.
Holy crap, that's a fight for the GAF-ages.

"aviation historian Budd Davidson, in agreement with fellow historian Barrett Tillman, although cognizant of the "hollywood treatment", had a caution to aviation enthusiasts looking for a faithful reenactment of the tuskege legend"...buy some popcorn, lean back and enjoy, this is hollywood telling a story, not making a documentary."
"Three claims made in the film were most contentious: the number of losses suffered by bomber crews under escort, the encounters with Luftwaffe jet fighters and the overall record established by the tuskegee airmen"
ha.
Concussion testing should be mandatory for some posters in this thread.

So you're saying we should believe some random historian over some of the actual pilots?
And the "contenious claims" are some of the most irrelevant shit I've heard.
We wish.
Ahhh, now it's all making sense. No dude, the amount of good is what makes it good, not the message.
Some great movies have a good message, but that's hardly important in determining a great movie.

You know what movie is rad? Zodiac.
Fincher is awesome.
Believe what you want. I still get to laugh at you for it as well as be dismayed by the proud ignorance of a confused black man in the air force.
So here goes. "LOL" "smh"

I watched Horrible Bosses last night
Disappointing that Jennifer Aniston didn't show more skin but it was a realistic take on what murdering your boss would be like so it was a good movie

Are you guys really discussing Red Tails in this thread? smh
Ok...discussing is probably the wrong word.

What are the chances that the pilots stayed awake for the entire screening?
And I don't mean that as a jab at their age.
But as a sign of their character.
Nah, this offseason we'll have "And with the number 4 pick the Charlotte Bobcats select...", summer league hype, the Olympics, the Riverwalk parade, Dwight/Deron stuff, etc
Plus it'll seem so short compared to last year. It should go by quickly.
Basketball offseasons are so much less painstaking than Survivor ones. We have to wait until September for season 25. SEPTEMBER!

I don't like Alien 3, although I understand it was a production nightmare.
It was his first movie. We'll forgive him.

Pretty funny actually. I liked it a lot.
Those Aniston scenes were awkward as hell in the theatre tho. Enjoyably awkard, but definitely awkward.

WTF are you even talking about?
Poster 1: Red Tails is a accurate movie with a good story
Poster 2: Nuhhh Unnhhh
Poster 1: <Posts excerpt from actual pilot saying it portrayed what they did>
Poster 2: LOL smh
Who am I?

True. And Aliens is an impossible act to follow. It is at least way more watchable than Resurrection.

The first line from Red Tails wikipedia entry under 'Historical accuracy':
"Red Tails portrays laregly ficitional events based on the exploits of the Tuskegee airmen, although many viewers were left with the impression that the film was entirely historically accurate."
How could historians get away with lying about The airmen not losing a single bomber, dudes are dead. At least25 according to the AF itself. The AF also have confirmed that The Luftwaffe interception did not result in the first victory over the jet fighters, some other unit has that credit.

I can't take your opinion on women with that avatar seriously.
You just have no taste.
can you not distinguish recognition on a personal level from documented historical facts?

Are you still on this one little irrelevant detail? The site that Wikipedia cites doesn't even exist. I should go change it so you can believe it.
What documented historical facts?
Fixed.
