When I first watched Eddie Murphy's 'Berverly Hills Cop' back in the day, and Hollywood film critics and reviews describing it as the biggest non summer release, I had thought nothing could surpass that when it comes to a regular black guy making a movie or becoming a big score in Hollywood.Lee is a big score without a doubt.
Starting tomorrow 'Miracle at St. Anna,' based on the novel of the same name by James McBride and a dozen other war movies and documentaries later on will be playing at theaters near you. Lee's 'Miracle at St. Anna' is about four American infantry men from the 92 Division of US Army who had arrived a small Italian village where massacre was the order in a total of four battles in its quest against fascism and got caught behind enemy lines during World War II.
Like 'Miracle at St. Anna' and other war movies made in Hollywood over the years with more and more popping up, I had requested in many of my moves in persuading my good friend and filmmaker Pascal Atuma to talk Nigeria's Nollywood into making movies of human events and tragic moments of our time as we will be seeing a whole lot of these movies through the Fall and into Winter.
'Miracle at St. Anna' stars Italian actress Valentina Cervi and Derek Luke and rated R.
