Left me speechless......

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 1999)

I first saw this film in my high school history class, and I can't imagine going through that class without it. Fantastically rendered portrait of the 54th Massachusetts unit during the American Civil War. Upon seeing a documentary on the real 54th, I was astounded at the historical accuracy of the film, right down to Shaw's charge during the attack on Fort Wagner ("Come on 54th!"). If this film doesn't move you in some way, you're not human.
