A journey into the heart of darkness: Spike Lee explores war, race and greed in his resplendent “Da 5 Bloods” through the eyes of black Vietnam vets
African American filmmaker Spike Lee has released his newest film on the streaming platform Netflix. Titled “Da 5 Bloods”, the film tells the story of four black Vietnam veterans travelling back to the country to recover the remains of their squad leader, Stormin’ Norman , and to look for bars of gold that they left in the jungle in Vietnam that they agreed they would collect later as ‘reparations’.
The story soon turns ominous, of course; this being Spike Lee, nothing is as simple as it seems on the surface. Paul , is a man who is always on the brink of snapping, full of rage and guilt, and suffering from post traumatic stress disorder . The men are surprised by the unexpected arrival of Paul’s son David , who explains that he had been worried about his father’s erratic behaviour and decided to follow him to Vietnam, despite their strained relationship.
As the viewer roots for the characters, he cannot help but notice that, as Stormin’ Norman says in the 1970s, “War is about money. Money is about war.” And gold bars, initially found during the war in the wreckage of a CIA plane and destined for the Vietnamese, are sure to complicate matters.
