A Quick review of Glory
Added 1/30/2010
This 3 time Academy Award winning movie tells the account of the first black regiment in the U.S. army. Set during the civil war, this awe-inspiring movie tells the story of friendship, brotherhood and fortitude. See how racial barriers were broken as the blacks and their white commanders fought side by side, but most importantly, see how they died side by side. This film contains one of James Horner's best movie scores of all time that will leave you moved to the point of tears. Starring an all-star cast: Mathew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington and Carey Elwes.

Historical war drama about the Civil War battle at Antietam, and the formation of the first black regiment, the 54th Massachusetts Voluntary Infantry. Glory is a masterful piece of work that will leave you breathless. Matthew Broddrick plays Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and performs him masterfully. Denzel Washington's performance was powerful as well. This movie stands as a great achievement, that could very well be called a classic.

Great movie. Plenty of action and drama. Too bad we treated the Negro soldiers like that.

Great movie bad strategies
Added 11/20/2009
This was a great movie. The cast was amazing. Sets, direction. Everything was great but when the troops would go into battle I kept thinking what horrible field strategies they were. It was like the troops were just marching into the line of fire. I have read a little about american history but I have not read about this battle (yet) but I find it hard to believe that the strategies of the north for this battle was this stupid.
