Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very impressive movie and I am glad that I bought it. If you read the history of this civil war battle first - you will enjoy the movie much better. I recommend the movie Glory.

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 (Special Edition)
The heart-stopping story of the first black regiment to fight for the North in the Civil War. Glory stars Matthew Broderick Denzel Washington Cary Elwes and Morgan Freeman. Broderick and Elwes are the idealistic young Bostonians who lead the regiment; Freeman is the inspirational sergeant who unites the troops; and Denzel Washington in an Oscar winning performance (1989 Supporting Actor) is the runaway slave who embodies the indomitable spirit of the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts.System Requirements:Starring: Matthew Broderick Alan North Bob Gunton Denzel Washington Cary Elwes Morgan Freeman Jihmi Kennedy Andre Braugher John Finn Donovan Leitch and John David Cullum. Directed By: Edward Zwick Running Time: 118 Min. Color. This film is presented in both "Widescreen" and "Standard" formats. Copyright 2001 Columbia TriStar Home Video.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?043396041837 Manufacturer No:?04183One 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 (cocreator 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
