When it comes to the most productive war movies, many popular titles come to mind. Maybe you think of Saving Private Ryan or Dunkirk or many other movies that put you right in the action. However, the new 2024 release, The Six Triple Eight, tells another war story that most have never heard before. I wanted to know more about why the film was chosen by director Tyler Perry, and he kindly shared with me what he wanted others to learn from his drama film about World War II.
Director Tyler Perry’s latest film to hit Netflix tells the story of the only black unit in the Women’s Army Corps of World War II and how those women contributed to the war effort by sorting seventeen million letters that had not been been sent. They were given to infantrymen on the front lines or to their families at home. Wild, is it rarely? So when I had the chance to talk to Tyler Perry about the importance of this film and what he needs other people who weren’t familiar with 6888 to learn from it, his reaction was simple:
Understand that there are many other types of history that make up American history. And all of this is very important, and all of those stories matter, each and every one of them. They should not be prohibited, separated or not taught. I think little women want to know that 855 women participated in World War II, little black women, little white women. I mean, it speaks to the price of what women can do. That’s why I think it’s very important for us to know.
Perry’s lyrics make me need to delve into lesser-known moments in American history. Of course, there are wonderful Cold War movies or wonderful movies set in World War I, and even some other 2024 war entry, Civil War, is a fantasy. cinematographic piece. But how many more stories about the war are we missing that can still be found in the cinema?Honestly, there are many.
The Six Triple Eight gives us the opportunity to deepen our wisdom about others who have helped America in times of need. So far, it’s gotten some pretty falsified reviews from critics, even though Perry recently spoke out about why she avoids complaints. those days. If you haven’t tried it yet, all you need is a Netflix subscription to watch it.
The movie, starring Kerry Washington, Ebony Obsidian, and many others, is an old story that was never told to me as a kid in school, or to my parents, or my brother, or anyone else. apart from what I knew personally. It gives us a new attitude towards a world of war that we didn’t know existed. According to Perry, any type of story, no matter how much we know, is of utmost importance, and none deserves to be “discarded” because each and every little detail counts.
