Past, present and future come together seamlessly in Spike Lee’s latest film 🔒
03 July 2020 - 05:00When it comes to critical acclaim Spike Lee is on a roll these days. After his first, deserved Oscar win for best adapted screenplay for BlacKkKlansman in 2019, Lee’s debut Netflix feature, Da 5 Bloods has been racking up ecstatic reviews since its release on the streaming platform in June.
On one level, Lee’s story of five black, former Vietnam vets is a classic adventure tale in the mould of John Huston’s The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: they reunite in present-day Ho Chi Minh City to deliver on their decades-old promise to their dead commander to ensure that a buried stash of gold is dug up and used for the betterment of their fellow African Americans.
