DA 5 BLOODS

 
DA 5 BLOODS is a brilliantly flawed movie. A lot of Spike-Lee-isms, including: Brechtian devices reminding the viewers they're watching a movie; anachronisms that sometimes seem deliberate for obvious reasons sometimes not; passionately poignant scenes followed by history lessons; transcendent acting with a dab of bad acting; scenes with powerfully moving dialogue and monologues and scenes that too many writers had a say in; etc.  For me, any Spike Lee project is worth viewing if only for the risks he always takes, and DA 5 BLOODS is no exception.
