Impressive, darn impressive
(This comment is valid to the DVD issue)
This film, about one of the first colored regiments on the Federal side, is not the best war film I've seen, but it comes close. But with the extra material, which is the best I've can remember ever have seen, it ranks among the very best. The direction by Edward Zwick, the acting by Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington, among others. are all top rate, and the story about the 54th Massachusetts is fairly well told, but I must say that the first featurette is almost its equal in intensity and importance, being a very well done historical presentation of what the 54th did though its operating career - that in a way continues to this very day, and some more information about who these men were, their background, et cetera. That it is narrated by Morgan Freeman, doesn't hurt it one bit :-)! Well worth your money, and a good complement to the movie 'Gettisburgh'!. vinujain15 watch Snakehead Terror movie

Simply Amazing - Among the Best War Films Ever
Every element is stunningly perfect in this must-see film for history
fans and everyone else. Starring Matthew Broderick, "Glory" tells the poignant story of the Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Regiment and their role in a half forgotten battle that, in Lincoln's own words, changed the tide of the war. The entire cast was incredible in their unforgettable roles. If you are turned off by "seeing Ferris Bueller play soldier", think again. Broderick plays a perfect Shaw from personality right down to appearance. The story may be based on Shaw's letters, but Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes, Andre Braugher, and Jhimi Kennedy add dimension to the Civil War by bringing their diverse characters to life because it really is a rich man's war and a poor man's fight. The action is disappointing only if you watched expecting to see the blood and gore that many war films exhibit. Violence is a very real part of war, but it goes so much beyond that. That is what we see in "Glory". Even beneath the messages against bigotry, we see the basic human nature, and that itself speaks for equality. Despite their differences, the rich, privileged white Harvard men, the runaway slaves with chips in their soldiers, and the intelligent freemen with class all face the same danger. Death does not discriminate, but people do, and that's what they're all fighting against. James Horner's composing is possibly at its best in "Glory", as his soundtrack sums up the terrors, courage, souls, and yes, glory of war in music alone. It makes the touching parts all the more poignant with its tear jearking element. It cannot be said enough times: "Glory" is spectacular, amazing, mesmerizing, shocking, wonderful, and stunning in every way a film should be. Few movies, history or otherwise, can compare. You have to watch it to believe it. 10/10. |
