One way to celebrate Black History Month is to immerse yourself into the multifaceted world of Black Cinema. These films can teach, enlighten, inspire, and reflect a countryâs past and present. Streaming services, like Netflix, have made it much easier to watch films about, created by, and starring Black talent. In recent years, Netflix has been one of the leading companies producing and hosting highly acclaimed Black films, like
Dolemite Is My Name, Da 5 Bloods, and

This could have been the weirdest, best awards season of all time. With many of the usual blockbusters and award-show contenders postponed until it’s safe for audiences to return to movie theaters in droves, this was supposed to be the year that groups like the Hollywood Foreign Press and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences threw up their hands and left with no other choice finally rewarded a more diverse, less traditional group of deserving underdogs.
They had plenty to choose from this year, too. There were plenty of excellent Black-led ensemble films whose subjects feel particularly relevant to today, like
Delroy Lindo and the entire cast of
Da 5 Bloods were honored by the National Board of Review this week. The National Board of Review honored the film as the best of 2020.
“
Da 5 Bloods is not only a unique portrait of the experience and lingering trauma of Black Vietnam War veterans, but also a moving story of enduring friendship, a suspenseful jungle treasure hunt, and a powerful reckoning with the American dream,” National Board of Review President
Annie Schulhof told Deadline.
Da 5 Bloods is Lee s latest work. The film chronicles the journey of four war veterans returning to Vietnam for the first time since they departed as young adults. This time around, they are in search of a buried shipment of gold that was left during the war. During their journey, the group confronts past trauma, armed enemies and much more.
