a must-see, glorious movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2007)

"Glory" is one of the best movies I've ever seen. An emotional attachment is formed to each of the main characters as you watch the movie. The acting in this movie was right on the money. Matthew Broderick did a fine job portraying colonel Shaw, as a young leader, who ultimately carries out the job he needed to do. Cary Elwes does a good job as Shaw's second in command, keeping Shaw grounded and off his 'high horse.' Denzel Washington was unbelievable with his performance as well. There's a scene in the movie where Trip (Washington) tells Shaw that he won't fight for him. but in the end, Trip is the first to CHARGE towards Fort Wagner after Shaw is brought down. The other characters were really good too. I give this movie 2 thumbs up. It's the kind of movie that they just don't make nowadays.
