In this episode of the show Fuqua February continues with a discussion about his 2003 outing Tears of the Sun. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to understand what the mission behind this movie was, whether it was appropriate to transplant a real story into a whole new setting and whether the story in this new setting deserved to be treated as a cross between a prestige war drama and an actioner of the Rambo variety. We also talk about Bruce Willis’s pull factor, Antoine Fuqua leaning into a post-Black Hawk Down aesthetic and how in the eyes of Hollywood producers Canadian special forces clearly look way less cooler than Navy Seals.
