The true story behind Netflix’s the Six Triple Eight showed

20 years ago, Tyler Perry flared up on Hollywood completely when a low -budget romantic comedy was opened “The Diary of a Crazy Black Woman” to $ 22 million at the box office in the United States. Although critics rescued the film, he got a sterling pounds from the audience’s exit surveys, indicating that Perry was accurately knew what this part was carrying services from American American film pioneers who were very eager. After this amazing success, Perry was out of races, as he was leaving a movie at least a year – a more surprising pace when he treated in Countless TV series Production began in 2007.

While Perry seems to be unprecedented because of his constant lack of monetary praise, he sometimes tried to install a prestige film with a kind of socially important proportions that decrease well with Oscars. As a producer, Oscar’s success via Lee Daniels’ Precision: Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire in 2009, but he came out in 2010 when he formed an adaptation with Ntozake Shareopoem “for colored girls.

After 14 years after this error, Perry again arrived to get more than the base of his fans, and perhaps a small academic love, with the “Eighth Six Eight”, an inspir Central. With a budget of $ 70 million and stars, Kerry Washington includes Wissam Waterston and Opera Winfrey, this is easily the most ambitious Berry film projects. Although he received more suitable reviews than usual, the “three eight” failed to reach Oscar voters when he received a limited theatrical version in early December 2024. Although he is not surprising, he has proven that he is very popular when We started to flow on Netflix two weeks later, raised 52.4 million views over the first four weeks (outperformed me His success with “Mea Culpa” Earlier in the year).

Many viewers are now eager to learn more about the 6888 battalion (we hope they can also Tuskegee Airmen Drama “Red Tails”, also). Surprisingly, Hollywood’s deep Perry treatment for this story has not exaggerated many unforgettable elements in the movie.

“The Six Triple Eight” is derived from the historian of the US Army, “Kevin M. Hymel”, a war from the front, which was published by the Second World War History Magazine in 2019. She managed to achieve amazingly shortly. The battalion appeared into existence through the efforts of the American teacher of African origin, Mary McLolid Bethon, whose determination led to the involvement of black women in the war effort to pressure the first lady Elianor Roosevelt successfully to create the unit in 1944.

He brought the story of 6888 before the cameras were a passionate project for the producer and political activist (and the wife of Netflix Honcho Ted Sarandos) Nicole Avant, whose mother told her about the battalion when she was a little girl. I also told Avent Tudum from Netflix:

“My parents had loved the” three eight “because they were (they were) senior believers in passing the stick, and they always believed that you could not teach people about passing the stick if they did not understand the stick itself, and they do not understand the history behind the stick they are going through.”

Once the project is officially in the development, it was not lost at any time to involve Perry. It is understood to hear 6888 exploits for the first time, Perry immediately signed writing and directing the movie.

The 6888 central postal delivery battalion was formed in 1944 to directly provide the necessary assistance in sorting through a huge accumulation of unjustified messages to and from soldiers serving abroad. Women, who were recruited through the US Army Corps, were sent to the basic training in Georgia, and then they were later stationed in a suburb of Birmingham, England. As shown in the film, they were forced to convert internal school buildings full of mice into a job office.

Despite having to confront the dual ignorant of racism and sexual discrimination from their male superiors, 6888 has proven enormously effective in dismantling accumulation in Birmingham, and then, more accumulation in Le Havre, France. In both signatories, they delivered it before the specified date, as they provided a necessary service to maintain the morale of the forces because they risk their lives to save the free world.

Regardless of what they thought about “The Six Triple Eight” in general, most critics have agreed that the most dynamic element of the film is Kerry Washington’s depiction of the leading charities Adams. Adams was born on December 5, 1918 in Ketter, North Carolina, and Adams was encouraged early in childhood to appreciate education and personal achievement. It made them exceptionally proud by becoming the highest rank of an African American officer in the American army (as a first lieutenant) by the end of World War II, and when returning to the homeland, it becomes the hero of education and civil rights.

When reading its history, it is impossible to say that Washington is exaggerated by Adams. It was really amazing. The incidents in which Adams stands for the distant army priest (Nick Harris) and the advanced general (Dean of Norris) really did as they were photographed. Yes, I told his attempt to put 6888 under the charge of a white male officer that would be “on my body, sir.”

After the war, Adams obtained a master’s degree in psychology from Ohio State University, and continued to work as a student director at the Tennessee A & E College and the Georgia State College. She finally settled in Dayton, Ohio, with her various services to society resulted in many programs and buildings that were named after her. She got her greatest honor after his death in 2023, when Fort Lee, Virginia, Fort Greg Adams (participated in the nickname of Al -Qaeda with First Lieutenant Arthur J. Greg).

Although 6,888 received a richly deserving hero in Paris after the end of the war in Europe (they marched in the city and they were placed in luxurious residence), they did not receive any public recognition upon their return to Fort Dix, New Jersey. The battalion was quietly resolved, and everyone returned to their lives while leaving them.

Lina King, the protagonist “Six Triple Six”, played by Ebbous Speedan, studied the design in England before returning to the United States worked as a nurse in Los Angeles, California, where she lived with her husband and two children to retirement, that is, a point that moved to Las Vegas, Nevada . Perry confirmed that the king was decisive to help him know how to make justice 6888; She met her before production, and she was able to show her harsh pieces before her death last year. Tidom also told: “I loved it. She was greeting the screen. She was laughing. But in the end, she was very strong. She was crying. I know we contributed.”

The 6888 women have received many medals and medals for their services – although their number was annoyed after the death of most members. During their service, they were awarded the medal of the European -African Middle East campaign, a good behavior medal and the victory medal in World War II.

The members of the battalion were honored for you, Dickson and Mary Rajland by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michel Obama in 2009, but regardless of the rename of Fort Lee, their most important recognition in 2022 reached when the US Senate and the House of Representatives transferred a bill to grant them the gold medal In Congress. It was a sad moment given that only four members of 6888 were still alive: Lina King, Romay Davis, Maccandon and Anna May Robertson. All four were honored in their hometown.
