Because his story makes America look bad in so many ways. But I don't understand why French films have not made a cinematic masterpiece with this, he sacrificed all for the country that first treated him as a human being..
It’s time for this mans complete biography to be made into a full length feature film. The sound track alone would be wonderful…..Please make this happen!
The man is extraordinarily. His whole life was a fight and he was a Champion and should be an inspiration to all human beings. I salute you. Fake ass Hollywood never picked this up and gave it the Justice it deserves. We’re waiting.
Having stumbled across Bullard's story (at last), I was ranting away on social media asking "Why why why isn't there a major Hollywood blockbuster movie about this man's unbelievable astonishing heroic courageous tragic life???" And then found your brilliant short film, as if in answer. OK sure 9 minutes is never gonna be enough -- but would 3 hours be "enough" for such a life either? In gratitude.
Hi Scott, thanks a lot! We're really grateful that we could support the telling of Bullard's story. The praise belongs to director Paul Mignot, cinematographer Eric Dumont and their team though for managing to tell a life like Bullard's in not even nine minutes. Best, your ZEISS Cinematography team
because hollywood doesn t care of black people and do always frenchbashing.and they could do a movie about josephine baker who just enters to the pantheon
The whole story is too big for a simple movie. This needs A mini series at least. The man's life is a real life James Bond crossed with Audie Murphy. Runaway, jockey, longshoreman, street performer, machine gunner, fighter pilot, boxer, nightclub owner, spy and straight up HERO. Not to mention - the guy was fluent in THREE languages. English, German and French. See the episode "fat electrician" did. It's 47 minutes long, so make sure your popcorn and drinks are at hand before you hit play🙂
Excellente qualité. J'espère que vous aurez un jour le budget pour faire un film de 2 heures sur ce sujet qui le mérite amplement. Il y a tellement à dire aussi sur son côté Jazz, sa vie mondaine de l'entre deux guerres, son ré-engagement en 1940, son retour aux US, etc... Quand on voit les fortunes englouties à Hollywood pour faire des films d'une niaiserie inqualifiable, alors que l'Histoire regorge de vies aussi incroyables à raconter...
@@martinmatin2690 Ce n’est pas seulement l’histoire française, c’est une histoire importante et tout le monde devrait le savoir et en apprendre davantage à ce sujet, cela me rappelle le champ de bataille un parce que le premier match de deux histoires, ils ont été inspirés par cela et personne ne le savait, mais j’ai l’impression qu’ils le devraient, j’espère que cela
I meet a mature black man at the national air AND space museum told me a great story about eugene Bullard he knew him personally l was sooooo inspired a true moment in time 🤩
As a Mexican American boxer and hopefully future fighter pilot, this film was very inspiring and gave me so many goosebumps. Amazing job to the creators. I’m sharing this to everyone I know. All blood runs red!
Spectacular! One of the best short films I've seen in a long time. It took an incredibly talented crew and cast I'm sure. It also shows off the Zeiss Supreme Prime Radiance lenses very well - they felt very appropriate to the project. Well done to all involved - you should be proud of the result.
Thanks! We're so glad and proud that we are able to work with such amazing cinematographers. We hope you will give the ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses a try! Best, your ZEISS Cinematography team
Exceptional film. Shared recently during the Contemporary African Diaspora Art (CADA) 13th Annual Panel Discussion during the Art Basel Miami hosted at the Art Deco Museum 1001 Ocean Drive Miami Beach. Extraordinary acting and live discussion with award-winning actor Amine Mahamat Gabdou #aminesunnyday in the house too! Thanks- Curator Ludlow E. Bailey #ludlowebailey!!!!
Bullard flew in l'Aeronautique Militaire -- the French air service in WW1. The motto on his plane read 'Tout le sang coule rouge' -- French for 'All blood runs red.' I believe he was made a Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur at the hand of Charles de Gaulle, not for his service in WW1 but for his service with the French resistance in WW2. He led a remarkable life. . FWIW he flew only 20 combat sorties. A non-com, he got into an altercation with a French officer. The officer had Bullard struck from the flying list. Bullard went back to his old unit, the 170eme Regiment d'Infanterie. (I don't know how that worked out. When Bullard left hospital in October 1916, he was invalided from front line service.) The members of the 170eme RI were known as the 'Swallows of Death' and, as one may expect, Bullard was known as the 'Black Swallow of Death'. But to be clear, that appellation came from his infantry unit, not from his flying exploits. . In 20 combat flights, Bullard claimed two kills. Neither was confirmed. . Bullard's service in l'Aeronautique Militaire is something of a mystery. He reported to N93 in August 1917 but transferred to N85 in September 1917. A transfer after less than a month with a unit seems strange. Despite the 'N' for Nieuport, both squadrons were transitioning to the SPAD VII. I do not believe Bullard ever flew a Nieuport in combat. He was struck from the flying list in November 1917. . Oh, yeah. Bullard was promoted posthumously to Second Lieutenant, United States Air Force, in 1995.
I had the pleasure of seeing this film last night at a SMPTE meeting near Boston. Richard Schleuning, Senior Director of Zeiss, screened a number of examples of films made with the new Supreme Prime and Supreme Prime Radiance lenses. Paul Mignot’s film about Bullard is fantastic and a true work of cinematic art. Blocking, mise-en-scene, costumes, lighting, lensing, directing, casting, acting and editing (!) are all first rate and a tour-de-force of impressionistic narrative filmmaking. I first heard of Bullard when I was a boy, captivated by stories and films about France’s famed WWI fighter pilot squad, the Lafayette Escadrille. Later, Tony Bill’s 2006 film “Flyboys” briefly featured a fictionalized version of Bullard. But Mignot’s inspirational 9-minute film goes into much more detail about Bullard’s origin story - which is amazing in and of itself. Thank you, Zeiss, for supporting this gorgeous, thoughtful project and kudos to the filmmaking team for choosing this story and knocking it out of the park. I hope some efforts will be made to distribute this film widely, but especially to school libraries in America, France, and everywhere else. Full disclosure: I’m developing a TV series about unsung heroes and heroines of color worldwide, and had already decided exclusively to use Zeiss cine lenses for that project, reasoning that I could find AC’s anywhere I go who would know CP.2’s like the back of their hand.
Thank you so much! We feel so honored to be able to work with such talented filmmakers as Éric Dumont and Paul Mignot. It's a great pleasure to be able to support cinematographers in telling these fascinating stories, and it's an equal pleasure to see that their work is appreciated by all of you as well. Best, your ZEISS Cinematography team
Très beau film ! Bravo à toute l'équipe, j'espère vivement que votre travail pourra aboutir à un long métrage, il y a sans doute encore beaucoup à raconter. Et un bravo particulier à toi Amine, tu es superbe dans ce rôle il te va à la perfection !
Don't add black bars on top and bottom of the image, on ultrawide monitors the 2.35:1 aspect ratio should be full screen, and it's not, because the editing is wrong...I see a tiny video on my screen with black bars in all sides...top, bottom, left and right...stop doing that...the screen adapt itself with the right aspect ratio...
Wasn't a bullet. It was mortar and is struck his face. Then hit with a second mortar later in battle that broke his back and took a massive chunk of his thigh. That's why he ended up as a pilot. . Go to the "fat electrician" to listen to this wonderful man's life story. He was a perfect specimen of a man, that against everything and all the evil around him wanted to be a fighter for his beliefs, fought in ww1 and ww2, ran from the u.s.a due to racism, Georgia, to ended up in France to become famous, just to loose it all and end up in Harlem begging to get his daughters back to him. . Please go watch the video "the fat electrician" made
how is this not so much more popular
Because his story makes America look bad in so many ways. But I don't understand why French films have not made a cinematic masterpiece with this, he sacrificed all for the country that first treated him as a human being..
So moved by this. Makes me extremely proud as an American 🇺🇸 to know what this man and hero did. It’s my job to make sure others know. ❤

True heroes are unknown
Also he met many celebrities in France between the wars. It could be a fascinating movie. Hello mr. Spielberg ? Think about him !
Many of us have asked the same question. I continually remember this incredibly warrior.
ce grand homme mérite d’être au panthéon respect monsieur Bullard son histoire doit être étudié dans les écoles
This man is now my hero
Son histoire mérite un film tout entier...
The whole story is too big for a simple movie. This needs A mini series at least. The man's life is a real life James Bond crossed with Audie Murphy.

Mais malheureusement ça devrait être à fait en France mais bon dès que on veut glorifier histoire française en France c'est compliqué

He fought in WW2 also. And played drums with Louis Armstrong. And became a spy. There's More. But, I'm not making movies here.

It´s hard to tell a good story in less than 9 minutes, and it´s hardest to make it wonderfully. Thank you for doing this!
A great true story
this was beautiful.
Merci .
Brilliant story about a very special man.
This man deserves a fucking movie, i was moved to tears at The Chubby Electron guys story. Lets make that happen!
There are some.
Beautiful in all aspects. From the bravery and honor of Eugene, to the work of the production as well as the hardware. Inspiring.
Great Work!!!! I loved it! Great Story! Great Cinematography! Great Acting! and Great Directing!
I came looking for a music video and found some important history instead 😌
VIVA!!! Eugene!!!! 2020

They left out so much more of his story the things he did is almost hard 2 believe not sure why in no one has made a real movie about ugine
anyone find this after Fat Electrician's vid?
Should have use a camera with global shutter to take care all those camera flashes.
VERY amazing OF, EUGENE BULLARD. MISSION'S WELL DONE ABOVE OUR GREATEST LORD JESUS CHRIST SINCERELY, GLORY MY LORD. KIM BULLARD 》☆☆

Watched it last night, can't believe I had never heard of him. If an accurate movie was made of him they would pan it as fiction.
