Will leave you feeling,why you never joined army

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2010)

Glory.....The one word you would die for.But glory(1989) by Edward Zwick is an epic.No short of an epic with a blending of emotion,drama & action.Matthew Broderick does justice to his role of Col. Robert Gould Shaw.Denzel Washington deserved as Oscar for this role & so he got it.The scene where he is beaten up was way too emotional.Just see his tears & then you can feel what glory is all about.Morgan Freeman(Sgt. Mulcahy) as usual does a terrific job again.Lot of short cameos by other people as well.Andre Braugher(Sears) plays a beautiful role of a black American soldier & as a friend of Colonel Shaw.Shaw gets caught up in loyalties as a general & a friend.But all in all beautiful movie with a wonderful soundtrack.This truly deserved an Oscar.Bad miss by the critics.Way too underrated for my liking.Its just awesome.Best war movie up to date.Just cant get the hold of the dialog- (Robert):"If this man should fall, who will lift the flag and carry on?". (Sears):"I will". (Robert):"I'll see you in the fort, Thomas." This scene made me think that why i never joined the army.But glory it deserves.The forgotten word shall be relived again if you can see this movie!!!Recommended for a terrific emotional experience.An epic.
