"Cuba Gooding" & "Nate Parker" Talk About Their Movie "Red Tails"
With "Black Tree TV"
I'm not a fan of "Cuba Gooding Jr.", now 20 years removed from his break out role in "Boyz n the Hood" or "Terrance Howard", but I do respect them as black actors, and especially when they make a quality "Black Film", that rep's us in another light besides gang bang'n, drug dealing, baby making-thugs.
I have not seen "Red Tails", yet, but I've heard nothing but raving reports from everyone who has seen it, and I believe its number two in the box office as of Sunday.
"Red Tails" is about the history of the "Tuskegee Airmen" began when the "Civil Aeronautics Authority" selected 13 cadets to participate in an experiment at the "Tuskegee Institute" in Tuskegee, AL aimed at training "colored personnel" to become combat pilots for service in the Army Air Corps. However, fierce discrimination, lack of institutional support and the belief that these men lacked the intelligence and aptitude to be pilots or maintain military aircraft dogged their every step.
When they were finally awarded the opportunity to fight for the Allied forces during World War II, these men flew thousands of missions, and in a two-year period between 1943 and 1945, the Tuskegee Airmen shot down more than a hundred German aircraft, including three of the first German jets ever used in combat. Their planes, P-51 Mustangs painted with distinct red tails, came to be feared by the enemies and respected by allies. By the end of the war, the Tuskegee Airmen had earned 96 Distinguished Unit Citations and as individual pilots earned several Silver Stars, Purple Hearts and hundreds of other awards and medals. Though rooted in history, the story George Lucas wanted to tell was not one found in thick, dusty tomes that line a study hall. Lucas envisioned an action-packed inspirational picture about phenomenally skilled and brave young men who fly amazing machines in very dangerous situations. "This is an adventure movie and not a civil rights movie," says Dr. Roscoe Brown, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen who consulted on the film. "It is about us overcoming the obstacle of racism with excellence and friendship, camaraderie and discipline. Those are the eternal lessons that affect anybody."
