This series of blogs is inspired by watching Spike Lee's Vietnam War movie "Da 5 Bloods". It's set in both the Vietnam War and then several years later when the four survivors go back to Vietnam for many different reasons. I give the movie a B, it felt a bit long. That's especially for the parts involving Delroy Lindo's Paul. Lindo does a great job though as a man who's losing a battle with PTSD. There are many outstanding performances, the best are by Chadwick Boseman and Clarke Peters. Peters is great in everything he's in.
The music of Marvin Gaye plays a prominent part and that's what inspired this series of blogs.
