[@the.christian.gentleman]

❤My Grandmother was in the 6888th.The "Six Triple Eight"! I really wish she could have seen this! She would have been smiling ear to ear. My family history is a long line of Service, to God, in the Ministry, and Service to Country, in the Military. I continue the tradition as an officer in the Military. Salute to all veterans & those currently serving. Thank you Tyler Perry.Thank you.❤

Thank you for your service 🇺🇸

Really, shorting the post doesn't make you a hero. They didn't deserve a medal never mind thanks

[@norbertk5400]

This movie is a great documentary. Thank you. Sadly, we are now entering a time under a president without respect or decency for anyone.

[@invincible2024-pj5kc]

That's what the media wants you to believe. You have democrats that have let millions and millions of illegal immigrants into our country that are committing horrendous crimes. I PROMISE you; Donald Trump is the LAST person you need to be worried about. Oh yeah don't forget that $18 case of eggs!!

[@frederickreese8398]

Certified hit indeed. Tyler Perry should do black historic movies.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Hope there are more on the horizon

[@LifesDeath]

He should not. Raise your standards. Better to watch the documentary.

​@@LifesDeathmy folks in here watching this sorry ssa movie now. Dude got an audience, I will say that. But the audience doesnt care for authenticity. Movie def deserves the 50% RT gave it.

My hat off to Tyler on this 🎬 movie. ● Superb!

[@AuthorJCCarpenter]

Everything from the romantic story that you said was unrealistic was true. He said that romantic story was what he built that film around and he showed the film to the real life Lena before she passed away and she said he got it right. You have to remember back in those days relationships were built on more than just physical desires. They got to know people and they could fall in love with someone without physical interaction and love at first sight is a thing the does exist.

[@RemyChukwu]

Trust it’s the only reason the movie was able to get made

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

All the movie needed was a bit more time showing us their dynamic is all I'm saying. I didn't watch each and every interview TP and the cast did so I didn't know all the ends and outs about the romance pre-viewing.

[@bettyschuler3551]

@@OurKindofEntertainment The movie was over 2 hours, it didn't need more time (in my view). btw, my mother served in the 6888 and I had the good fortune to meet Lena, Delores and others before they passed.

[@whome1629]

​@@OurKindofEntertainment She was the one who told Tyler about him and her, Tyler showed her the entire movie on her death bed in hospice, she saluted and approved. You don't approve of their relationship? Ok.

[@JadaW15]

Beautiful writing and producing it’s worthy of an award . Kerry Washington was so poignant in her role.

[@tanishaharris-sykes3289]

I cried throughout Tyler Perry's/Netflix's "The Six Triple Eight." This MASTERPIECE is OUTSTANDING! This will be a film that will keep on giving for generations to come. We will see adaptations in the theater and other genres. Kerry Washington deserves an OSCAR for her performance here. I'm always humbled, astounded and impacted by the strength, resilience, brilliance, achievements, dutifulness, perseverance, commitment, dedication, devotion and diligence of our African American ancestors. What a respectful, angelic and BEAUTIFUL tribute to them by Tyler Perry in "The Six Triple Eight." WELL DONE. ❤️ Despite the evil, lies, tricks, sabotage, torment, torture, racism, harassment, nastiness and disrespect of yt supremacists/yt terrorists-the oppressors-our ancestors continued on their missions, journeys and assignments. They survived degradation and denigration. They worked hard and laser-focused to chart a path for their/our success. They always managed to exceed the goal posts, although they weren't made privy to them. They continued to fight for justice, fairness and humanity, although they didn't see, feel, or experience these things. And, THEN, there’s US... To this day, we continue to walk in their footsteps; channeling their brilliance. We continue to tread in their blood, hard work and successes as we strive and work to form a more perfect Union. We continue to fight the evils of racism, while at the same time, pushing forward. I'm SO VERY PROUD to be BLACK! THANK YOU! ❤️

[@anthonygriffin1958]

I couldn't have said it any better myself regarding the content of your comment. Well Done! 👏

[@Beckyb5718]

It’s on my list to watch this weekend. Thanks for the review.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

you won't regret it

[@ckcooper527]

Thank you for this video. As a Black woman and American. Our History (Black) for some of our parents were hard to discuss. I praise God that when I ask my Momma she was not ashamed to share her experiences. This was her Testimony. To pass on in our family. 🎉❤😊

[@stillirise4401]

The world should know about these phenomenon women!

[@LifesDeath]

Why exactly? The community didn't care to know about them. There have been books and documentaries on them. How many cared about the renaming ceremony at Fort Lee? Most of the families of these women didn't even know about them...not that they didn't care, but if hertitage is not important at home and taught by the elders, why should anyone else give af about it?

[@Snyhen]

They knew each other since they were kids.

[@dynel.dillard]

I myself served in the Marine Corps Cousin's Army Navy and AirForce T.P. and Kerry Washington did an outstanding job.

[@lesthebest3171]

This was a very exciting film and necessary. Thanks for pointing out all the actors from other TP series. Oprah even had a cameo as Dr. Mary McCloud Bethune. Love the way it ended. So glad TP is doing historical drama. We need it.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Yes indeed!

[@hogscattle7877]

Shanice started on the modern ‘Wizard of Oz play. Remember????

[@jimcatalfamo8034]

I loved this movie. I had no idea about this story and not to spoil the ending but I got all choked up inside. This movie also made me do some research on the history of these women and I also sought out movie locations. And found some interesting things. A fort it's been renamed in the honor and I found a monument also in their honor. Which now I plan to go visit these locations.

[@lesthebest3171]

I also didn’t know they renamed a military base, which was named in honor of a confederate traitor, after Lt. Col Davis.

[@tonettepowell7035]

Tp I Loved it and you did an amazing job ❤

[@lynetteprice360]

Did you miss the part where Lena and Abram had known each other since they was children and that they were best friends that turned into romantic friends and Tyler said in an interview that he spoke to the real Lena and that was her true story

[@cassandrabrown926]

Great movie just emotional 😭❤

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

so many moment that'll get you choked up

[@everretchancellor2243]

Sometimes sometimes I just wanna scream, because although its alot of Love here for the movie ( you still run across people who feel differently) Thank You Tyler Perry for the story being told, Highlighted, in the Public conscience, because this is a story the didnt teach us about in school, You can argue about how it was done , But Thank God the story is even being talked about at all. I think that's what people are missing those who are critics of the movie.

[@anthonygriffin1958]

Tyler Perry took this labor of love upon himself by putting in the research having visited with Ms. Lena Derriecott, who was 99-year-old, at the time before he started to get into writing, producing, and directing the Netflix film "The Six Triple Eight" that starts with Ms. Lena Derriecott forbidden love for a Jewish man that wasn't allowed by law during that era in time in the country. The plot moves into the direction of how the creation of "The African-American Women's Army" came into existence back in the 1940s. Kerry Washington portraying Captain Charity Adams is in charge of the company of the 6888th that's looking for a mission to carry out during the course of World War II. The company is given orders to becoming the first "Negro" women company, it's what they were referred to during that era in time, sent to the continent of Europe, to deliver 17 million pieces of mail with only a 6 month window to get mail to the men on the battlefield during World War II. The ladies completed the mission in 90 days over the course of World War II back in 1944.

[@VV-bk1wv]

Who at netflix decided this? Operation Market Garden? Nah. D-day, Nah. Guadalcanal Campaign? Nah. The Polish soldiers fighting for their homes from England? Nah. Women living in a luxury country estate in England, sorting mail in the dying days of ww2? What dangers did they face? They had to wear gloves because winter is cold in England. Thats the one! WTF???😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@robertmilsom226]

Exactly

[@sheliawilson6656]

Why did you give it an 8

[@jacquelinejohnson696]

@tracyoneal39 history of the movie a lot of us don't know history of black women in the service

[@LifesDeath]

If you want the history, read about them, or watch the documentary.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

@@LifesDeath I heard about the documentary? Isn't like 15 min or something? Regardless, I'll say this; we can talk about the quality of 6888 movie all we want but we can't discredit the fact that Tyler did was no other director has done which is TELL their story.

[@jadahunt6124]

It was a good movie, I’d give it a 7/10, Kerry Washington carried the movie on her back as well as Shanice Williams, i genuinely enjoyed their acting. I always loved Kerry Washington but Ms. Williams this was the first time I’ve seen her work and I was engaged by her performance.

The story is a 9 out of 10 however the storytelling, screenplay is a 7 out of 10. Another director/writer could have done a lot better. The director of Hidden Figures would have done a great job in my opinion or the the director of Best Man Holiday.

[@russelllarkin5665]

It is an extraordinary Film but not the most important film Perry made maybe But I considered the effortless For Colored Girls 15 years ago but this FCG permanently lingered! 8 out of 10 - Nonsense

I come from a family of Veterans all the way to the Spanish American War WWI WWII Vietnam to the present day. I've known about the contributions of Buffalo Soldiers 9th Cavalry 24th Infantry Harlem Hellfighters The Fireball Express 761st Tank Battalion Montford Point Marines Tuskegee Airmen and the 6888th Central Postal Battalion all this history that was literally swept under the rug by Racist White Men who were General Staff Officers and Southern

[@ploppill34]

If this is true, then Tyler Perry has never done anything important 😂😂😂😂 this movie is a mockery to the people who died during World War II. These women were in England. They weren’t near any danger and the worst they faced was a paper cut.😂😂😂😂

[@juiceman_3]

They sorted mail…that’s it

[@VV-bk1wv]

But their hands got cold

[@Ty1on3twelve]

I agree the beginning was very weak, the story made very little since given the time period. It wasn't believable. Interracial relationships were against the law back then. Stop it Tyler Perry.

[@tammymcclain3736]

Forbidden or not, it happened pre, during, & post slavery, on through jim crow...shall I say more. If anyone has read the Wills of white masters, who were known to reveal their love in their last will and testaments this shows an example that (though forbidden) indeed existed.

[@inmythoughts718]

Black woman crying over her Jewish boyfriend, why is this important to the story. Come on. My mom served in this unit. Do u know how much he'll Black women had. Hmmm beautiful cast, however not the movie.

[@whome1629]

@inmythough... Crazy thing a woman of color had a boyfriend not colored 😮. She is the one who told Tyler about him and he was the reason for her joining the army. So go dig her up and cuss her out.

[@joyyoung3108]

He wasn't just a boyfriend. Abram was her childhood friend that she grew up with. Lena was mourning the life they could have had together.

[@saramatthews7159]

Well it was sad when he died in the movie especially given the beautiful friendship that they had (in real life). Duh! Of course we know black women went through (and still go through) hell! However, this was based on a true story and Lena actually fell in love with a Jewish man who sadly passed in the war.

[@gavinhenry8671]

I saw the movie, but the movie tied in a heavy Jewish element. The issue I have with that is Jewish stories of racism never have to involve anyone else, they get to have separate stories. Why must we always be attached to others? Or does that element of the movie need to be attached to have it greenlit? They just showed us in the last election that we are alone. Medea once said "when someone shows you who they are, believe them".

[@airetglobalcommunications8463]

As a black woman its difficult to believe black women were being loved in this way because of the historical trauma and abuse we have endured and continue to experience in America. It is a good try Tyler, some of his typical work of romanticism of black love is included which in my opinion overshadows the legacy of the service these woman provided.
