Spike Lee would never make a movie about “the American black regiment The 92d Division that fought bravely during WWI” because that would go against the current Hollywood narrative about the US military and its troops in general. That “fought bravely” stuff would *really* have to go. Maybe he could make a movie about how the 92 Division was rounded up at gunpoint and forced against their will to commit thousands of war crimes in WWII. Of course, any (anti-)war movie he made would make about as much as the other anti-war ‘hits’ Hollywood has released (or did they merely escape) in the past five years or so. Still, if it made even the average for the anti-war movies that would probably be 2-3 times as much as any Spike Lee movie has made since 2000.
