This last option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs.

Plot – Spoilers:
In WW2 Louisiana during the time of segregation in the US Army, a black sergeant, Waters, is murdered and the Klan suspected by his company of soldiers.
Captain Davenport, a rare black officer is sent in from DC to investigate, but his arrival brings discomfort. The black soldiers are proud to have an officer of their color, but are also unsure how to deal with him. And the whites are shocked and wary that his determined probe might disrupt the uneasy racial balance and calm that exists in town.
But as Davenport starts digging around, he uncovers facets to the murdered Sgt. Waters that complicate the case. It turns out Waters wasn’t particularly popular among his soldiers for what they perceived to be desperate attempts at whitening himself.
A Soldier’s Story features Denzel Washington in just his second film role. But personally speaking, Art Evans as Wilkie is the showstealer. He brings a tragicomic element to Wilkie that borders at times on the hilarious.
First of all, I’m giving this movie 5 stars and it will be going in to my top 20 list of movies on EUM. Something else I would like to mention before I dig in to the film is that 81% of White Americans are murdered by blacks, but 97% of black Americans are killed by blacks. THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU WATCH THIS FANTASTIC FILM BEFORE YOU READ MY REVIEW!!!!!!!
People might have skipped by this movie, like I did, thinking it is a propaganda film about how white people are always fucking over blacks for no reason at all. It’s not. It is a truthful film about how blacks cry racism every time a crime is committed to try to weasel their way out of getting caught for crimes they committed. Both Adolph Caesar as Sgt. Waters and Denzel Washington as Petersen give outstanding performances. Adolph Caesar received multiple nominations for Best Supporting Actor for his role in this fine film.
The comments below seem like they were written by people who haven’t watched the film. This is a 5 star film and I recommend watching it big time. It’s one of the better movies on this website. Not necessarily “Effed up” in a commonly perceived way but it is a great film.
Directed by Norman JEWison. This tells you everything you need to know about this “film”. They live.
