Movie about Forrest?

Not just that. They were really having a cheerleading session before they got in the planes? Really? It's not a football field. It was so....stereotypical. If I were black, I would be terribly offended. Those men had more dignity than that.

I saw that in a preview and giggled.

George Lucas was just complaining that he had a great movie about the Tuskegee airmen but couldn't get anyone in Hollywood to finance it because the cast was all black. Good grief! Can you imagine trying to get someone to finance a movie about Forrest? Sure would like to write the script for it, though!

I've recently completed "Nathan Bedford Forrest, In Search of the Enigma" by Davison and Foxx. If they used this book as a model it would be a fair portrayal of Ol' Bedford.
