My first thought was that this new Da 5 Bloods poster is an attempt to link Spike Lee’s new film to the George Floyd uprising, et. al. Yes, many if not most African-American Vietnam combat soldiers probably came to a similar conclusion between the mid ’60s and early ’70s, thinking perhaps of the words of Muhammud Ali (“I ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong“). And this would fit right in, of course, with the story of four 60something vets returning to Vietnam and reconsidering their shared history. If I’m mistaken I apologize, but I don’t recall reading or hearing that “this ain’t our fight!” is a major theme of this soon-to-stream film until today. Da 5 Bloods will be on Netflix starting June 12th.
