work at a video store i get to see quite a few movie and on occasion i try to watch some of the not so big movie . proud happen to be one of them . the initial idea of telling of the story of a primarily black crew ship during wwii have some merit . however in less than 10 minute of watch the movie you find out that the primary point of the movie be to tell about racial tension in wwii . the underlying story be about the ship and the crew and their exploit in the war . this primary point be hammer at you to the point of excessiveness all throughout the movie . i commend the men that serve on the uss mason for their triumph in the face of adversity and for the hardship that they endure . a movie should have be make focus on the accomplishment these men do for themselves and the navy and for their country and not make a movie whose focus be racism during wwii .
