Red Tails (2012)

[Stealhead]

Most people who know something about military aviation would know that the P-51 was no uber UFO that really should not be so surprising to you unless you don't talk to many folks that are into the sames things you are.

Again though it is a movie and movies are supposed to entertain and excite people and those type maneuvers are more exciting to watch than a P-51 pulling a boom and zoom which lets be honest is a little boring accurate as it may be more fun in IL-2 but not everyone plays sims either and would not get the excitement I might get from having "pulled off" boom and zoom kills in IL-2 you want it to be fun to a lay person.From what they show it looks like they tried to balance the maneuvering it is not 100% accurate but not way over the top either.

You have to view things objectively Apocalypse Now is one of my favorite films ever but I also know that compared to factual Vietnam it is very unrealistic.

Now if I wanted to get really nit picky I could say "I wont watch this movie unless they fly according to real life physics,Fly the correct model P-40,Fly the P-51B/C in most of the movie and fly the P-51D only in the last half.Thing is if you are nit picky about everything you will end up enjoying nothing I am saying this in general not specifically to Anthony W.

And like I said before a movie like this will attract some people to find out the real story on the Tuskegee airmen,WWII aviation,WWII so on and so forth most people with half a brain know when they are seeing Hollywood for fun for excitement type things and when they are seeing something realistic.Movies are a temporary escape form reality from you troubles,fears.
