The film is the story of the Ouradour sur Glane murdering bij the Germans in WW2

I can't say enough about this movie. Firstly, your dealing with the people who (since day day one) always play the part of pawn, cannon fodder and war dog. Often found walking point, cleaning toilets, fixing trucks you find the black guys in the military. But when it counts in "the clutch" and lives are on the line it's when these men have often risen above the rest. So as the cream rises to the top this move is rich with STORY (you know lacking in most movies any longer).Intertwined storytelling and excellent dialogue makeup the bulk of the acting scenes. The lighting, coloring schemes and overall appearance are lively and always seem to provide wonderful depth. Often I was surprised at how playful the soundtrack and audio was for this film considering rather dark content (no not the actors you racists).But with high caliber props, thoughtful and expertly filmed action sequences (on par with anything I call a keeper for my collection), vehicles and WWII memorabilia. Enough eye candy for any WWII buff. The high points for me are literally too many to nail down. I am not lying when I say it was as "pretty" as "Band of Brothers" with the acting (spoken dialogue) of a top notch mafia movie; all executed so very well, bravo guys! I would honestly love to see many many more black guy war movies (IT'S ONLY FAIR Hollywood!)- Budget is important and so is teamwork. This film to me represents something that could kick off top grade future movies with heart, bravery and lovable moments. Time to find more moves by this director and team! Oh me? - White 40-50, Denver, Colorado, Pot Smoker and lover not a fighter :)

I wish IMDb still had their discussion board because I would like to discuss this movie. First off I doubt this movie was meant to be a docudrama. They just instilled a story to the factual event. I am not a Spike Lee fan but I liked this movie and think it was one of Spikes best works. I like movies that evoke feeling and this movie did lots of that. Yes it could have been better but I can almost say that about every movie I have ever viewed. All in all I really enjoyed Miracle at St Anna.

I am a young black women that rarely gets to see MY HISTORY on the big screen. Were the facts all the way correct...NO..was it suppose to be...NO. Do you know how many movies BASED on history are made and nobody says a damn thing. This movie is about Buffalo soldiers. You know the soldiers that get one paragraph in today's history books. Other reviews say the black men in this movie weren't depicted right. ITS THE 40S! They had a character for every black man in that time period. I APPRECIATE every character depicted in this movie because they were real. They showed all perspectives. I WISH RedTails was like this movie...down and dirty and REAL. You don't like it because you DON'T SEE IT! I hope you watch it again and again and I myself will CONTINUE to show every person I know this movie...matter fact...I just forced my brother to watch it. It may not be perfect but it open your eyes to reality. That is all folks.
