Summary: 5 Stars
With no doubt the best Civil War picture ever made ,so far. The story of Robert Gould Shaw and his colored regiment,the 54th Massachusetts.Lincoln credited the black soldiers for turning the tide of the war for the Union victory.Glory is probably the most realistic of the Civil War films,Gettysburg is a good picture,but it seems like all the actor's are wearing fake beards,also, there is a blank spot to the whereabouts of Jeb Stuart in the film.Gods and Generals,a flat out boring film and I was disappointed in Robert Duvalls role as Lee,not so much the acting,but the lack of,strictly a cameo role for Duvall.Glory is a classic movie overall not only for history but a milestone in the entire motion picture industry,I think I've seen this movie at least thirty five times,with superb acting.spectacular cinematography,accurate story and screenplay,wish there were a few more battle scenes,the grand finale made up for it leaving the viewer stunned.Denzel Washington won the oscar for best supporting actor,but I think Morgan Freeman was also in the running,excellent acting all around.(a classic war movie.)Col. Shaw says,Forbes! if you dont believe in what we're doing here,maybe you should'nt be a part of it.
Description of Glory
Story of the first Black regiment to fight in the Union Army during the American Civil War.Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: R
Release Date: 1-FEB-2005
Media Type: DVD
One of the finest films ever made about the American Civil War, Glory also has the honor of being the first major Hollywood film to acknowledge the vital contribution of African American soldiers to the country's historic struggle. Based on the books Lay This Laurel, by Lincoln Kirstein, and One Gallant Rush, by Peter Burchard, and the wartime letters of Robert Gould Shaw, the film tells the story of the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, an all-black unit comprising Northern freemen and escaped slaves. Under the command of Shaw (played by Matthew Broderick), the 54th served admirably in battle until they made their ultimate demonstration of bravery during the almost suicidal assault on the Confederate Fort Wagner in Charleston, South Carolina, on July 18, 1863. Glory achieves its powerful impact by meticulously setting up the terrible conditions under which these neglected soldiers fought, and by illuminating the tenacity of the human spirit from the oppression of slavery to the hard-won recognition of battlefield heroism. Although Denzel Washington deservedly won an Oscar for his supporting role as a runaway-slave-turned-soldier, Glory faced some tough competition at the 1989 Academy Awards (against popular hits like Driving Miss Daisy and Dead Poets Society) and was shut out of nearly all the major categories. Since then, it's been duly recognized by historians and critics as a classic film of its genre. --Jeff Shannon
One of the very best films about the Civil War, this instant classic from 1989 is also one of the few films to depict the participation of African American soldiers in Civil War combat. Based in part on the books Lay This Laurel by Lincoln Kirstein and One Gallant Rush by Peter Burchard, the film also draws from the letters of Robert Gould Shaw (played by Matthew Broderick), the 25-year-old son of Boston abolitionists who volunteered to command the all-black 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. Their training and battle experience leads them to their final assault on Fort Wagner in South Carolina, where their heroic bravery turned bitter defeat into a symbolic victory that brought recognition to black soldiers and turned the tide of the war. With painstaking attention to historical detail and richness of character, the film boasts superior performances by Denzel Washington (who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor), Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and Andre Braugher. Directed by Edward Zwick (co-creator of the TV series thirtysomething), this unforgettable drama is as important as Schindler's List in its treatment of a noble yet little-known episode of history. --Jeff Shannon
