Tyler Perry's The Six Triple Eight: Was it WORTH it? - Movie Review

[@iamsh0t0]

Thank you!! Finally a UNBIASED review!!! Like yes we know Tyler writing can be straight up trash but it’s important to give props when due cause he did that!! The only criticism I’ve seen that I agree with is we should have focus a bit more on HOW the job got done and not just how they were treated … we got bits and pieces of how they got the job done but more focus on that definitely would have been a 10/10 movie but imma give a 9/10 also KERRY!!! Okay girl!

I couldn't find any KZbinr from my country saying good things about this movie, but i found your video, thanks to share your opinion.

[@SlimGoodie004]

What's the name of your country?

[@reginaldblack8326]

Correct your description. The 6888th were met with grace and kindness from the French [ this is according to the 6888 Ladies themselves]. They were welcomed into French homes, bars, restaurants, nightclubs. It is the US in France who continued to be prejudice and mistreat the 6888th.

[@shanasapp6212]

I heard the same from great uncles who were in WW2. They would go to bars in England and try to force them to leave.

[@technofilejr3401]

I loved this movie. I think it portrayed the women of the 6888 realistically for the time period. Also despite what some critics try to say they never said these women won the war. They served in the limited capacity that women especially women of color could at the time. Nobody said these ladies were doing parachute drops or fighting in foxholes. Also they are not part of the Air Corps they were part of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC). Eventually this was disbanded and all members integrated into the regular army.

I was inspired ❤. I also cringed, as a woman in the Military. There were a lot of mistakes, operating in the military. He needed a Black Female military advisor to help him edit the scenes. There were no NCOs or more leadership under her command over of 800 women.

[@flagcitydiva5191]

The best thing about this movie is the fact that attention was brought to, yet another group of women were ignored or forgotten by history At least, If all anyone does is watch the movie that's a step in the right direction. The movie inspired me to dig deeper into the facts and real history. I urge others to do the same.

[@Mzpfpretti]

This movie was taken from Charity Adams memoir. I watched a few videos in which Mrs. Adams address this story.

[@perrysaunders331]

To be honest, I haven't teared this much for a movie since the movies Glory and Malcolm X. Red Tails also. I felt so angry and frustrated with all the racism they had to deal with. Sitting in women up to fail. But this movie was inspirational at the same time. I can watch it over and over again. My only complaint is it wasn't long enough. I wish it was 3 hours. But I'm definitely going to learn more about the 6888th Battalion. Another Black History lesson we never would have learned about.

[@iamsh0t0]

Omg I said this!! An extra 30 minutes to an hour was needed

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

Im getting ready to watch but this review was great; it gives me something in particular to look forward to. I just saw a panel discussion curated by Katie Couric and in essence TP echos your same sentimemts and reveals what helped him reach a new space in directing/producing which he didn't have before. So much more history still untold but thanks to those who are able to shed light and bring them to their rightful place.

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, also known as the "Six Triple Eight", was a unit of the United States Women's Army Corps (WAC) not the air corps as you stated. Only 850 Black American females served overseas in the European Theater of Operations during WW II. Most of them served in the 6888. None served in the Pacific Theater of Operations during WW II.

[@sharonspencer2796]

According to Black News, Terry Perry has never had a movie flop or has never had any of his TV shows canceled.

[@hiyahiy]

He has a very large dedicated fan base that loves anything he makes even the terrible ones

[@sharonspencer2796]

@hiyahiy but isn't that the point? Isn't that the reason his movies were not flops and his TV shows have not been canceled?

Trump has a loyal base doesn’t mean he’s not evil? So What’s your point. This was his best film.

I hope this movie open doors for other untold stories about black people who never received any recognition for their hard work and was swept under the rug and I'm sure there are so many more of these stories. Great movie 👍🏿 9:09

[@sdseals2076]

For TP was a better film: But: Why did Tyler need to make up the interracial relationship? It was 1940s, would the girl be going to school with white people at this time? And considering the time, where people were openly calling Blacks degrading names and the white girls weren't calling her the N-word or spitting or attacking for dating a white boy. The white guy is Jewish and has his problems. H would have been made fun of too at the school as well. Where were his parents? I also think her mother and grandmother would be more concerned for her safety. Their relationship is whole movie by itself. The movie did not need this. How long did she even know this guy? She's balling over him and seeing him in the squad bay or bathroom. This time could have used to show the background of Charity, the captain over the Battalion. Show us the real process of how they sorted out the mail. He still needs a partner to write with him.

[@amatrex]

Racial segregation in schools was a southern concept supported by JIm Crow laws. But many schools in the north had no such laws so there were many schools that had black students, albeit in limited numbers. My late father, along with his brothers and sisters, went to school during the 1930s/1940s in Western Pennsylvania. And they were part of the small minority of black students within their city's school district that was overwhelmingly white. Interracial relationships were not illegal during the 1940s in nothern states but they were heavily frowned upon and very uncommon. The few people who did engage in interracial relationships did so in secret or behind closed doors. Both Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King had white girlfriends in the 1940s. I haven't researched the topic myself, but somone posted on another video that the interracial relationship depicted in the 6888 movie was real.

[@sdseals2076]

[@stephenmcgraw9466]

IN ACTUALLITY THE COMMANDING OFFICER AT THE TIME IN THIS UNIT WAS IN A INTERACIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A WHITE MAN.

[@delnitrawoods755]

He did not make up the interracial relationship. This was the true love story of Ms. Lena. When he spoke to Lena, she told him about her love for this white man. So he wanted HER love story to be the center of the film. There are several articles that include him and Ms Lena speaking on this.

[@stephenmcgraw9466]

@@delnitrawoods755 I read a lot of black American history. I was fully aware of the 6668 Unit prior to this movie. I was aware of the interracial relationship of the commanding officer of this unit. As long as these two people cared for one another. That is all that mattered. To honor the 6668 with a movie. I will always respect Tyler Perry. These women of the 6668 are one of the many black women over the history of the United States of America contributing to our military. Going all the way back to Harriet Tubman. I thank God every day for the Melanin in my skin. Take care and have a nice day.

If you want to see another surprising movie from Tyler, go check out A Jazzman’s Blues. That’s his other period piece.

There were no NCOs or more leadership under her command over of 800 women (She was powerful). I wanted to see how her brain worked, how she fought the white leadership through the UCMJ (legally not just verbally, they kept brushing her off in the movie), how she delegated and led her team (officers trained enlisted army cadets?). And the number aspect. The military is all about numbers and statistics. What was the number of mail the began with and how fast did she reduce the number operationally. To make it tangible and cheer the team on🎉 I felt he needed more research or another writer to clarify the story.

Marching through a bombed out city while people sort through rubble of their former homes and try to puzzle back their lives together but lets focus on the opressed black women that had to march, like every other soldier in history 😂😂 this movie was absolutely awful. Typical modern netflix production

[@Ms.July29]

This wasn't about the local population. The goal behind making them march was to intimidate these already exhausted women. The realisation of war should have sent them running in fear. The major wanted a parade of fear and chaos. If you look at the original footage from the 1940s, the citizens were visibly excited to see them. They represented hope even though they were there just to sort mail, more troops felt like the evidence of an impending victory. The movie is about the black women so why would it focus on the locals? Has the UK made movies about ww2 and included the 6888?

[@malcolmmitchell8538]

British army didn’t have problems with mail, they were fighting to survive and least of their problems was the bloody mail..😢

I don't approve of the time. It's almost an insult to what they did in real life. Not only that, Major Charity Adams has a military base named in her honor.

[@stephenmcgraw9466]

@@ajdirusso7378 You evidently didn't serve in the Armed Services. During World War II the men who actually fought. Many were killed or seriously injured. Up on to the point that these ladies became involved with the mail service. Many of these frontline servicemen didn't receive their mail from home. This mail may be a trivial item to you. This mail help keep the fighting spirit of the men in battle. To remind these men why they were making such a sacrifice. There were black men who drove trucks which carried the supplies to the front-line troops in battle. These black Army soldiers were known as the Red Ball Express. These ladies and all other black Americans who contributed to World War II are to be applauded for their contributions. My father served in the Marine Corps during World War II. He was what was called a Montford Point Marine. All the black troops. Men and women had to endure racism from their fellow white Americans. This was no trivial matter. But no matter the racial hardships these black men and women had to endure. These men and women were still patriotic to our nation. If you're a white American who made this disrespectful comment about these ladies. Your just another white supremacist who is threaten by black excellence and the many military contributions by black Americans in our nation. And if you're a black American. You really need to pick up a book and learn your history and stop being a "Hater". Have more respect for your people and most of all yourself. Have a nice day.

[@xenocore01]

According to the interviews and appearances, Washington was acting like a CO. Mentoring the younger actresses both for business on and off the set. And as a producer, she had some authority to do that. Also, I feel the reason we didn't get as much about HOW they did the job is mainly due to loosing the majority of the unit due to time. I doubt most of the procedures that were established were mouth to mouth and not documented.
