Fans all across the globe are still in shock and finding it hard to digest the death of Chadwick Boseman. The actor fell prey to colon cancer but even during the low phase, he managed to give us some memorable films. One such is Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, which recently premiered on Netflix.
In our today’s piece, we’ll be talking about the lesser-known fact of American war drama. The film with a backdrop of the Vietnam war depicts the tale of a squad of Black US Army soldiers. There are five main characters including Boseman’s Norman who term themselves as ‘Bloods’.
Da 5 Bloods hits hard by showcasing the sufferings of black people and Spike Lee has tried to keep the subject as raw as possible. But what if we tell you that the film was never supposed to be about the black squad? Yes, you read that right. Initially, the film was about four ageing white vets heading back to Vietnam.
