The Six Triple Eight | First Look | Netflix
/ @netflix
My Mother served in the 688th Battalion
and my family is very proud that the Battalion is receiving this
recognition
Thank your mother for her service
I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about WW2 and especially the women who served but never heard of this unit. I am so glad your mother and her sisters in arms are finally getting the recognition they so richly deserve. Now I am off to do research to tide me over until this comes out on Netflix. Fun fact I just discovered: this was filmed in an old army facility in Bradford, West Yorkshire. My Dad was there for several weeks in early 1945 recovering in the army hospital from a combination of being shot in the head and frostbit feet (didn't lose his toes but he did have a permanent dent in his forehead).
Her service is greatly appreciated. I hope that this film does them justice.
We are grateful for your mother’s service.
God bless your mom 🙏🏼 And I'm grateful for her service ❤🇺🇲
I had the honor of meeting one of the last surviving members of the 6888th Battalion. She was so kind and everyone loved hearing her stories. She passed away in February. So happy their story is going to be told 💜💜💜💜
Wow... I'm HONORED to have read you message , this looks like a great movie. GOD BLESS !
I met Romay Davis of the 6888 Battalion and interviewed her for my documentary “Black Uniform”. She was amazing. She just passed away in June at 104 years old. I’m so happy that she got to attend a screening of the documentary at one of the film festivals.
Ohhhh yes you will, no longer will it be a Quote Burden to be Better but you will Get To Be Better in the front lines.
In the up and coming glory. 😂
Welcome to the grind
What was her name, the last survivor
Wow, that’s amazing 🥰 I learned of these women years ago in 30s and I always wondered when they were going to make a movie about them ❤🥰👍👍I am excited to watch it
I had the honor of meeting one of Montford point Marines! And
Carl Brashear I met him on several occasions very down to earth.
🫡🫡🫡👍
I got to play one of the soldiers on this film and Tyler Perry and Kerry Washington were so kind to me and the crew. So glad this untold true story is finally getting released into the world. Whoo! 👏
Awesome. Can't wait to watch the movie. Hope this opens more doors for your career
@@michaelmaps2004 Thank you, I was only an extra but I am on camera in a movie theater scene.
@davidlovescinema that's a good start man. The best is yet to come. Keep pushing
Awesome!
Awesome, I hope you get more and more roles in the future. Good Luck!!!!
When she said "we have the most to prove" , I felt that in my bones 😢
Honestly i did 😢
@@adefilaayodele6445 because it's so true
That line hits harder because we still have to exceed expectations to this day. Not because of racism or anything, because we have to stand up. We have to keep fighting we have to be the best
Rightttt ❤😢
Yup, I got chills when she said that. 😔
For those who wonder: the name "Six Triple Eight" refers to the nickname of the all-female unit depicted in the film, the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.
The more you know..

She is 72 years old now and still full of fight! Excited to see the movie!
Greets to your mom. I was a WAC during Vietnam Era. I am 76 now. I served with many wonderful women of all backgrounds. Looking forward to this film .
@@MusicalJeanAz I'm curious to know if all women where only Americans or were there few women who were from Africa? I'm asking because my great-grandfather fought WWII recruited from South Africa. @vikkiarmstrongjohnson1908 this question is also directed to you.

Please tell her ..We are just as excited and humbled to see, hear and feel
just a hint of what sacrifices they made for their country and community.
Thank You.
Tell your mom I said thank you for her service 🙏🏼❤
@@MusicalJeanAz Thank you for your service ❤
As black female Army Quartermaster veteran, I am proud to say these women walked so I could run. It’s about time their story was told to the public at large and I can’t wait until this comes out!
QUARTERMASTERS HOOAH !!!!🖤
I am also a Proud Quartermaster Veteran Woman.
No disrespect but more like they ran so you can walk, if you get my drift
@@In4mous1 are you also a quartermaster?
Thank you for your service!
I remember back in middle school doing a project about them. No one knew who they were. So glad more people will learn their story✨
That's because they just sorted mail... not really news worthy....
Ohhhh yes you will, no longer will it be a Quote Burden to be Better but you will Get To Be Better in the front lines.

Welcome to the grind
I served 26 years and never heard of them until I retired
no one knew because they are not relevant
@@tahnadana5435 how so
Kerry Washington always carries herself with such class, poise. She carried Scandal, American Son and Little Fires Everywhere like a true star.
Let's support Nicole Beharie as well.
Let's just watch the movie without worshipping celebrities.
yes, and its always projects that are BS stories
@@tahnadana5435 Why you people so mad. This looks good
I haven't seen American Son. Thanks for a new watch for me!
6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Six Triple Eight", was a predominantly black battalion of the Women's Army Corps (WAC). The 6888th had 855 women, amongst whom were three Latinas, both enlisted and officers, and was led by Major Charity Adams.[1] It was the only predominantly all-black US Women's Army Corps unit sent overseas during World War II.The group motto was "No mail, low morale".The battalion was organized into five companies, Headquarters, Company A, Company B, Company C, and Company D.Most of the 6888th worked as postal clerks, but others were cooks, mechanics and held other support positions, so that the 6888th was a self-sufficient unit.
African American history goes hand in hand with Afro Latino history, unfortunately this is not taught is school. From Latino being part of the Harlem Hell Fighters to The 54 Massachusetts. Same story, same struggles.
@@henryvangas6601 I agree
Serving your country while fighting racism. Never seen that before.😂😂😂
@@jfrancismiller Maybe ppl like you should pick up and book and read. Knowledge is Power Ignorance is Death. Apparently you comment alone proves just how ignorant you are.

There are many family members of these brave women who are anxiously awaiting the release of this film and to attend the ceremony when they are awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Please, if you are not aware of what they did for our solders in WWII, please take a moment and look it up. Thank you!
how can we love each other without knowing each other? And i mean that truly,,,
They literally sorted mail...
How about what our soldiers did for our soldiers in ww2?
@@artificial_karma901No one is discounting them. There are countless movies, documentaries, books, etc. about them and what they did. This is about a different group of people, that courageously did their part. Get it?
@@artificial_karma901 There are literally hundreds of movies, documentaries, miniseries, tv series and books dedicated to American soldiers fighting in WW2 🙄
@@artificial_karma901 because that's literally all they were *allowed* to do. They served their country in whatever way they could. Read One Woman's Army by Charity Adams Early, and get back to me. Or just thank them for their service and move on with your life.
First you purchase an old confederate Army base (Ft. McPherson, Atlanta, Ga. - I trained there many times), build a world class studio on it, and now this. I see you Tyler Perry. On behalf of all Black female Veterans who ever wore the uniform, we thank you for taking this on.
Perry buying a Confederate base is a major flex.
First - I travel 2 miles down the road from me in *Bradford,* the world's first *UNESCO City of Film.*
Second - I walk around the streets, which I can almost guarantee, will be the main filming location in this film.
The Walking Dead was there long before T Perry. And it was a US Army base. Not Confederate.
@@dannyhoward3437 The Walking Dead also has a connection to Bradford (like most things) sort of...
As a former child and teenage actor turned producer, who produced a lot of the Talking Dead episodes...
However most of his IMDB credits are missing and spread over multiple profiles.
One day in the future, when I can be bothered searching through 100s of profiles, I'll be moving them all to one profile, and adding as many Talking Dead credits of his that I can find.
@@TheVeritas1 Not really. Unless he's willing to equally promote Blk MEN who fought in WWII and all the other wars this country has ever won. And he doesn't. Why do you think the powers that be allow him to do the same ol' BS he does. "Black girls rock" is a psyop unless you promote Black BOYS too. And he doesn't. Fugg Tyler Perry. Y'all fall for this BS every time.

@@JAHzJaJa Thank you 😊
Agreed! She is so amazing and talented!
Have you watched her in Little Fires Everywhere? She was fantastic.
@@First-v8k No. I need to watch it.
I am a huge military movie nerd. I collect military movies from all over the world to understand and appreciate different perspectives & their valor. Too many untold stories. My grandaunt was an ambulance driver in the Canadian Women's Army Corps in WW2. I am super excited to see this film.
May you recommend some movies? What films/documentories do you like the most? Maybe with pointing out the reason (most surprising tactic, too less known unit/hero, most heartbreaking and/or inspiring story...)? Thx in advance.
These ladies performed a very important service during the war. So glad that their story is being told.
What role were they involved in?
Were they giving happy endings to wounded?
@@kaneidareyue7715they are a postal unit. Those letters back home being delivered to the soldiers in front were very important to keep the morale of every soldiers high as it reminds them of what they are fighting for.
people are such assholes there abilities shouldn't be about what there gender is
Then watch the movie, you will know everything @@kaneidareyue7715
I can't wait to see this movie. As a proud woman veteran, I stood on the shoulders of these amazing, brave women that came before me. Kerry Washington is perfect for this role!
Long before it was publicly known that a movie was in the offering, we were sharing the history of the 6888 in my church. Congratulations, and we are excited to see it in December! Well done ladies, and thank you for your service 🙏🙏
I remember when my grandmother took me to meet one of her neighbors in her retirement home. On her side table was the most beautiful picture of her in her WAC uniform. I was too young to appreciate how awesome that was but I still remember the look of regret and envy my grandmothers face as she told her neighbor how she wanted to join too but was too young at the time
😊
One thing about Kerry, she gon carry this
I had never heard this story before. The story of this unit is the kind of story that normally doesn't get told. Not just because it is a war movie about black Americans, which are pretty rare but have been getting more common as of late :). But also because it is about something that isn't necessarily glamorous. These ladies had to sort through 17 million pieces of mail in a short period of time. The Army had a massive backlog and important pieces of mail were getting lost. As well as pieces of mail that were important for morale, letters from home. It isn't storming Normandy but, it's the kind of work that makes storming Normandy happen. Also, their ship to Europe got attacked by German U-boats, which is pretty hardcore. I'm definitely interested in this one, really good actors.
OMG FINALLY a preview that doesn’t give the ENTIRE PLOT AWAY in 2-4 mins!! this 👀 so INCREDIBLE!!!! I absolutely 💕 Kerry Washington!!!
I'm a veteran and all veterans have my respect, including my two sons! USMC and US Army!

That accent is gonna get me every time!! Kerry Washington is underrated and undercelebrated!! GO KERRY!! This is a Tyler Perry joint that he's been in development for years!! I guess because of all that backlash from "Divorce in The Black" he decided to let the film talk for him.
I'm sure his name will be plastered all over the final edit.
Oh god, please don’t tell me he wrote or directed this.
@mahneekaha.nightmare5220 I'm don't know about writing it but he definitely (helped) direct or directed it.

So happy this story is finally being told. Can’t wait to watch!!
It's already out there in Charity Adams earley's book and James Theres' award winning documentary 'The Six Triple Eight'.
My friend Renata Morgan is in this movie! 0:18
I remember her
That's awesome!
My wifey, Kerry Washington, is in this movie.
How many stories like this remain hidden from the public that depict the gallantry of many people of color during conflicts around the world. I spent 20 years in the US Navy and it breaks my heart that stories like this remain suppressed regarding the Men and Women who’ve served our country. Respectfully, Tim
It's not hidden... It just never had a movie.. Wtf
@@marcusinfinity9386 definitely these stories have been buried. Why isn't it in history books, taught in schools? Come on... I know why, the OP knows why...
They were established in 1945... so, we need a movie in 2024 to know about them? WTF?
No f**king respect for what POC have done for this country... thats what it is. Thank you for your service!
@dr.robertbennett3452 it was in 'history' books it was taught by my family. But commonly most people are taught about pronouns and not how to read a book so they depend on Hollyweird films for edjumakatyon
@@marcusinfinity9386 A lot of stories never had movies be we all know about them. This was simply a story that was not deemed important enough to retell... until now.
I got ABSOLUTE CHILLS watching this snippet, so I know this is going to be a MUST SEE. CAN'T WAIT!!!
It’s sad that I never learned about the Six Triple 8 in school, I guess it wasn’t worth our time knowing about Six Triple 8. I feel there were a lot of history we could have learned from those brave women. I’m very interested to watch this on Netflix when it comes out
This kind of American history is not taught. Black American history is American history.
Fr
Knew nothing about the 688th, just looked them up; cant wait to attend this party, even though it's 80 years late! Without Netflix their history would've likely remained unknown to me, and General Audiences, so: Thank You to all involved for giving life to their Legacy. Truly is "History that deserves to be remembered" as one RUclipsr says! (this History seems forgotten by him, along with too many other 'Historians' here in the UK, not even sure the BBC documented them, I don't know in either case).
You need to be thanking Mr Tyler Perry. He's the writer, director and producer. To which he produced in his own studios. He just gave Netflix the pleasure of distribution.
So the real thing goes to Mr Tyler Perry.
@@TheSageOf330 Thanks! He's actually included in 'all involved' and I'm aware it's his Production and his Fruits.
I trust also that you're not telling me what to do or say, when you say I 'need to' - but that you're just really enthusiastic over shouting out 'our' Mr Perry!
And, tho his deal is likely much more mutually beneficial than you've described, you've bigged him up now, yourself, so; all is good. (No?)
I accept it's not made clear but I shouted out Netflix for the fact that they gave him a production deal (I think) but mostly bcos I've noticed how they consistently give all kinds of folk full access and opportunity, both in front of, and behind, the camera; 'specially African Americans.
And they've been that way since Day One which was way before 'wokeness'.
OK?
FINALLY!!!! I hope this is done well. This is a story that needs to be told.
Thank you, Netflix.
Don't you mean Mr Tyler Perry. Who's the writer, director and producer. Produced in his own studios. He just gave Netflix the pleasure of being the distributor.
Thanks to Mr. Tyler Perry!
@TheSageOf330 , actually, thank you because I learned something new. Had no clue Tyler Perry was associated with this. Thank you. And thank you Tyler Perry.
@@TheSageOf330 Thank *Bradford* the world's first *UNESCO City of Film,* which I can almost guarantee was the main film location in this film.
@@danielgardecki1046 Okay, for some reason you want people to know about this location. What is it you want to say? A portion of the production was in that location; however, filming also took place in Georgia. Two locations: Atlanta and Cedartown. Many people know that exterior shots can be taken in one location, but the majority of the filming will take place in studios like the ones Tyler have in Atlanta. And, if not in studios, they may still film in areas that are visually similar to what they want. I guarantee the majority of the filming did not take place in Little Germany, Bradford which is located in West Yorkshire, England. Just make your own comment/post of what you really want people to know and stop leaving this dumb comment under multiple posts.
@@lwills8609 I can guarantee you will be wrong.
The building I'm talking about in *Little Germany, Bradford* which I suspect they used for the sorting office, was used in...
*Bodies* (2023).
*Peaky Blinders* (2013-2022).
*Jay's Yorkshire Workshop* (2021)
*Downton Abbey* (2019).
*The ABC Murders* (2018).
Apparently a few more productions, although I don't remember any of them filming inside, plus will soon be appearing in...
*Emmerdale* (1972-present) which had apparently used it for an interior before, which I suspect was around 2016/17 if true.
The WACs were so amazing. It was so hard to get the respect they deserved...and then to be black on top of that!? These women were the true rock stars! We wouldn't be here without them!
Soldiers you must be perfect! You do not have the luxury to be good! You have the burden to be BETTER! I need woman that had to fight to survive! Wow, that's from pain. Can not wait to see this movie! Kerry Washington is a true star.
I continue to watch this movie clip, and the outcome is still the same, inspiration and more inspiration.
My Aunt was a WAC. One of the very first in Central Pa. Really looking forward to seeing this.
*I couldn’t keep my eyes off this trailer. Looking forward to watching it.*
I was lucky to meet most of and talk to the actresses on set and I've also met Tyler Perry ☺️
Bro, Netflix is reading my mind. I was thinking this story would make a great movie like a month ago.
🙋🏾♀️ I remember growing up in the 60s I was born in 63 I was raised in the original black panther party Chicago chapter on the west side, and I was home school, and my mother who was one of the originals in the black panther party in Chicago very smart woman. My mother told me about these women, when I went to high school in the 70s, we did a project in my African-American history class and they talked about these women. I knew of these women, but there was never an actual picture about these women. There was never a face to these women I just knew there was a black, all black female regiment, and they were black women in the military, thank you Tyler Perry for telling these women stories and bringing their experience their sacrifice to life and honoring them giving them their flowers. Thank you for this movie big up to all black women. And big up to all the black women that made America America all the African-American black women who also contribute and contribute a lot to the United States of lion is America along with our African-American black men.
While people are busy talking about him, he's busy making classic movies!!! I'm watching this one!!! Well done, Tyler Perry. Bless up, 🤴🏾!!!
Don't exaggurate. He still can't write (especially for women to be smart) and this movie hasn't come out to see if he did them justice. Although I'm happy this story is being told this looks cheaply made.
@@AnointedFlow The fact of the matter is, Tyler Perry is a BILLIONAIRE. What do you make? If BW aren't "twerking" in a movie or video, most people can't comprehend it. Black history was intentionally not taught in order to keep the "inferiority vs. superiority" agenda going. Many didn't know about Katherine Johnson in "Hidden Figures". A mathematician who calculated trajectories for NASA space missions by HAND from earth & back. The astronauts trusted her work over the computers.
Thank you so tired of these bougee ass critics that are all over Tyler Perry. Its sickening. Crabs in a barrel.
If Kerry in it I’m already tuned in 😂. I’m excited to see this
Can Kerry Washington finally get an Oscar nomination?
not for a Tyler Perry she won't.
For what?
Maybe one day, but not this year. Best Actress is stacked this year.
@@tsplay2194 If Tyler Perry accepted constructive criticism and improved his pedestrian writing and filmmaking, and made more films of this nature, even he or his films could earn Oscar nods.
Thank you. As a proud member of the society of Highbrow Negros I'm remain skeptical because Tyler has fooled us once@@CeliniacForLife
My wife and I are in a book club with some good friends, I chose the book that this movie is based on. It's called Sisters in Arms, written by Kaia Alderson, we read it earlier this year. Before I found this book, I didn't even know that this unit existed. We found out that it was being made into a movie a few months ago and seeing this trailer gives me hope. It feels like an early Christmas present, I'm optimistic about the faithfulness to the story and the production value. God Bless the cast and crew.
Kerry always brings a great performance
So proud of this serie, a so much deserved serie to all those brave women❤️✊🏽
Believe it or not but this is actually a Tyler Perry movie and this actually looks pretty decent!😲🤯
REALLY?!
Why do y'all act like he doesn't have a few decent films? The Family That Preys, For Colored Girls, Good Deeds, A Jazzman's Blues, and this one are his best work.
@@CeliniacForLife I never did say that he doesn’t have decent movies, I love The Family That Preys! I give Tyler a lot of passes compared to most people but it is his recent movies such as Mea Culpa that I wasn’t a big fan of and ain’t nothing wrong with not liking everything.
@@CeliniacForLife Because he has some many other movies that are horrible. He needs a writing room and his movies/tv shows are suffering because he does not have one. Did you watch his newest movie on prime?
It's been awhile since he's had a decent movie. I hope this does well since his last few projects have been…basura.
Its about dang time someone made a movie about the 6888th. Will resubscribe when this comes out in December.
Definitely a story worth telling, long overdue.
Saw the documentary on the 6888th. What amazing woman. Looking forward to this adaptation. They deserve to be known broader and celebrated.
Oh, they put the superman soundtrack. That could only mean one thing, this movie is gonna be epic.
He put some money up for this which is good. The production quality looks superb.
I can't wait to see this film. So glad history is being told.
It’s beyond time we’ve had this… my Grandma was in the Women’s Army Corps!!!
Despite having known distinguished military service ran deep in my family since the Union army, it was my Gma who was my HERO & the reason I was first in the family to join the Air Force! ❤ 🫡
I've read about them and look forward to watching this. December can't come soon enough!
Now this is a project worth promoting. No disrespect to the mini series, Monster, but seriously.............. how many more pictures can they make about the Menedez Brothers, when we should be promoting this wonderful project long overdue to be told🎉🎉!!!!!
Kerry Washington is one of my favorite actors! She always sales her characters! ❤🎉 Can’t wait to watch this.
Fun Facts:
1 - *Six Triple Eight* (2024) and *Wall of Tyranny* (1988) are both war films filmed just 2 miles down the road from me in the mini neighbourhood of *Little Germany* in *Bradford* the world's first *UNESCO City of Film.*
2 - *Six Triple Eight* and *Peaky Blinders* (2013-2022) are both set in *Birmingham,* yet they weren't filmed there. Again both productions were mainly filmed in *Little Germany* in *Bradford* the world's first *UNESCO City of Film.*
3 - Many many more productions have used the same mini neighbourhood. I suspect they've most likely used one of the buildings in that neighbourhood, which you will most likely have seen before in another production, and possibly at least one other building nearby.
I am excited for this film. Tyler, please make more movies like this, about us, our history, our unsung heroes, from every time era. Our children, our community, and the world, needs so much more of this, and so much less of the other....... Please and Thank you. ❤🙏
In WW2, the women do their part by working in industrial factories to build weapons, vehicles and equipment that would be shipped out to the Allied Forces.
That's where Marilyn Monroe used to do prior to her acting career, and the source behind the Rosie Riveter poster of "You Can Do It!"
Many were also spies, delivered airplanes, were technicians and in logistics.
The portion of your statement regarding Marilyn Monroe is INCORRECT. Naomi Parker Fraley was the inspiration for the Rosie the Riveter poster.
Women have always had to do "their part," carry the loads of many; while fighting for survival under atrocities committed against them in ALL Man-Made Wars. If all Men did "their part" they would not have time to be at war with anyone ever. Maybe in the not-so-far future, more Men will realize that and allow harmony to rise up towards its rightful place in the world. Until that time comes, Women will continue to hold together the Earth so many Men are trying to rip apart. Business as usual I guess 😑💅🏾
Not sure what your statement, Marilyn Monroe or a poster has to do with the 6888th and their achievements? 🤔 It's almost like the trailer was too black for you and you had to drop some white trivia in the mix 😏 Let the 6888th have their moment... Please. 🙄
@@richardtbrown756 He failed to mention all of the BW who did that riveter work. Many don't even know that "Betty Boop" was a real BW and they made her a WW. Anytime a BM or BW is show in a positive light, they will always "down play", "discredit", or even deny the event(s) happened and compare it to a WM or WW. BW doing something positive and not "booty shaking" is strange to them.
You had me at Kerry Washington! ❤
I hope this movie does right by the 6888. They were a historic unit. Viola Davis would have been a better Lt. Col. Charity Adams Earley, but lets see what Kerry does.
I agree Viola Davis would have been perfect unfortunately Hollywood thinks she would have been too old to play this part which just shows the ageism and sexism in Hollywood. I think Kerry Washington will pull this off with flying colors❤❤❤
I think it will be great. They have amazing actresses in the film and it looks like some new faces as well. It’s always room for more people without the need for comparison. Viola Davis is Amazing but so is Kerry Washington.
These individuals are working on other projects as well. Sometimes it’s not the most negative thing we can think of. Sometimes the other individual may have passed on it or or could be a scheduling conflict or nothing at all.
Honestly I think Viola has to find a way away from these type of roles unless she wants to be stereotyped for the rest of her career.
@@filmgirlLisa I think a lot of times Viola is offered Parts like these because she is such a fantastic and strong actress. She can play any character that she chooses and she often plays the small parts as a change of pace. A lot of people don't know that she plays on Law & Order SVU as a lawyer and she did that for many years. She was phenomenal then and she could play anything she wants to for sure
Speaking as a Black woman, Black folks are never satisfied 🙄😒 Viola isn't the actress y'all think she is. Y'all make me sick.
Kerry done went from Olivia Pope to Ms. Sergeant, lol! But in all seriousness, I am SO proud of her and I cannot WAIT to see this movie! ❤❤❤
Incredible history!
Incredible AMERICAN history!
I always tear up a little bit whenever I see another one of our stories being told. ❤
💚💚💚 thanks TP for lifting up the 6888th!! I can’t wait to watch!!!
Powerful statement....."You must be prefect. You don't have the luxury to be good. You have the burden to be better"......
As a kid At school in uk every year history focused on world war 1&2 they mentioned none of the constributions of African American and Carribean and Indians in History lessons especially at a time when English Whites where overtly racist and ignorant of their history, looking forward to see this especially when My parter is an extea in it
Seeing this and A Jazzman's Blues makes me thing that Tyler Perry writes mid stuff for fun and can actually get serious if he wanted.
Been waiting for this story to be told, can't wait to see it.
Glad to see this story finally being told, it's long overdue.
Am I seeing good looking wigs that are fitted!?! PRAISE GOD!!!!
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂✌🏿✌🏿
Game of Thrones could learn from this
Someone must have stepped in and told Tyler, "Look--you gonna do right by these women and their service and we SURE gonna start with well-done and fitted wigs! Then move on to a script that YOU don't get to write!"
@@MetalsirenIXI Roughly one member of each *Game of Thrones* house/group has filmed in the main neighbourhood of this film, or nearby, in *Bradford* the world's first *UNESCO City of Film.*
There's at least 18 major characters mainly from different houses/groups who have filmed here, some of which have filmed here many many times.
You go Kerry. Can't wait.
Why are they hiding the fact that this was directed by Tyler Perry
You know EXACTLY why… Mea Culpa and Divorce in the Black were not favored well critics… this one could be. White audiences are obsessed with WW2 stories. Let’s see if Tyler Perry can do this right.
@@jaryse6466I think it's because the way black people criticize Tyler Perry everything he does that's my geist of it. Being black myself no matter what they say I like Tyler Perry movies and TV shows.... Most likely less to do with white people and what they think most white folks like Tyler Perry
@@jaryse6466It’s Tyler Perry, OF COURSE he’s not going to do this right.
I'm glad they did because I wasn't a fan of Tyler Perry (I feel like the films follow a pattern) and finding out he's directing this changed my opinion.
@@jaryse6466When I heard this, I checked to see if hopefully this was written by another person since most of my grapes with him are less about his directing and more about his writing, but unfortunately, it is also written by him. I hope he is able to hold back and just tell a story. His dramas are fun, but not in a good way.
Cool story that doesn't minimize the role this unit played in WW2. I gotta sign up for Netflix
Hidden Figures is a very good film.
THIS IS THE KIND OF WORK I ENJOY FROM TYLER.
My best friend sent this to me, so I think we'll have a watch party! 🎉💚
Oh wow! Can’t wait to see this! Now, I need to read up on the history of this. I’m in awe of these women!
It's about time!
This looks like an Oscar worthy movie.
Trailer looks decent. I hope the film will be as well. Otherwise I don't know a Tyler Perrys film that's has good ratings.
If you haven't already done so, I think you should check out A Jazzman's Blues and For Colored Girls. They are both pretty good movies.
This looks amazing! Grateful for the history never told.
Yes, the trailer didn't give too much away!
I hope this wins Kerry some awards!
spoiler: They deliver mail.
Spoiler: It won't earn Any Awards.
It's a Tyler Perry Non-War/War Movie about Black Postal Workers. Should tell you all you need to know.
A trailer which showed less than 1 second of *Bradford,* the world's first *UNESCO City of Film.*
Just like most trailers of productions which filmed in *Bradford,*
Even though I can almost guarantee, it will be the main location in this film.
I believe that this is one of the stories of manny stories that i believe needs to told .God Bless all people in the world who help to tell them to others when others could not anymore .💪🖐️❤️📖📯
It's just going to be the annual movie that gets Diane Warren a song nomination but is a non-factor everywhere else.
LOVE IT. I still want to see a movie about the Harlem Hellfighters.
I hope they provide balance though, yes they suffered from sexist and racist attitudes but the women actually documented the British treated them more as equals than America did
We loved having them here in Birmingham UK!
This looks brilliant.Kerry Washington has such presence.
Can't wait.
In the movie Battle of the Bulge, there is a scene where the German tank commander comments that a cake captured by the Germans is still fresh. The 6888th or a similar group would have delivered that cake to a US soldier on the front lines in December 1944. A fresh cake from home would have been a big morale booster.
This may be a Tyler Perry sponsored movie, but he certainly didn't write the script... Similar to the arrangement with Precious. Tyler Perry can do wonders with a Proper Team, but you know what happens when he hoards a project 😑💅🏾 Teamwork makes the Dream work, Mista Tyler Perry.
I'm not sure what you mean with Precious. That movie was directed by Lee Daniels.
Finally Bringing Back Legends!
A definite watch
So basically I’m watching this 🎥 🤎
YES❤
Kerri Washington, enuff said. I’m here for it. 👏👏👏
Looks good
Women actually filled a ton of vital roles in WW2 in each country. I’m very interested in seeing this . I’d love to see a film about the “Night witches “ as well .
Love Kerry Washington shes so slept on
