Da 5 Bloods is coming to Netflix tonight
Don’t miss Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods on Netflix tonight
If there is only one movie you’re going to watch this weekend, it needs to be Da 5 Bloods. The Spike Lee movie is dropping on Netflix tonight.
You’ll be able to start streaming the movie from 3:01 a.m. ET. For those on the west coast, tune in at 12:01 a.m. And if you’re in the UK, it means you’re waiting until about 8 a.m. for the release.
It’s certainly a movie worth waiting for. Not only is it Spike Lee and guaranteed to be meaningful, but it also couldn’t come at a better time for voices to be heard.
What is Da 5 Bloods about?
You’ll have heard some of the stories that came from the Vietnam War. One thing they don’t often focus on is the conscription of black men. Nor do they touch on what the war was like from a black man’s point of view.
Da 5 Bloods follows four men who return to Vietnam to search for one of their fallen comrades. They’re also after the treasure they all buried with him, always with the plans to head back for it when the time was right.
While there, the four men face their demons, demons they long thought they had suppressed. The past horrors come back to haunt them and their mission turns into one that is much harder than they anticipated.
Why is it titled Da 5 Bloods when there are four Vets? The fifth man is the son of one of the Vets, who learns about the atrocities and hears the story of the fallen Squad Leader.
It promises to be a heartfelt and thought-provoking movie, while also offering plenty of laughter, adventure, and fun. Did we really think anything less from Spike Lee?
For Black Panther fans, this movie is also important. Chadwick Boseman stars as the fallen Squad Leader, which explains the weight the actor lost a while back. Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis, Isiah Whitock, Jr. and Jonathan Majors star in the movie.
Da 5 Bloods is on Netflix on Friday, June 12.
