With so much to accomplish, Red Tails has a lot on its plate dramatically speaking. One of the stars of the film, Cuba Gooding Jr., told MTV News recently that the film manages to find the right balance.
I think it strikes it in the subject matter, Gooding said. It didnt hurt that George Lucas spent the last quarter of a decade trying to get this story onto the big screen.
The fact that you have the story of these warriors, whose story has been suppressed up until this date except for smaller instances are finally getting their due, educating the audience of what African Americans did in the war effort in World War II … told by George Lucas, Star Wars, Gooding said. Youre going to see an amusement park ride.
Gooding concluded that all of those elements came together for a proper telling of the story. I think thats how you get the balance, he added. You get a filmmaker who is so passionate hes putting his own dough up to the tune of $100 million-plus. You see it on the screen.
