A Work of Art

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2004)

Glory is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. The people and emotions are so raw and real that you just can't help getting sucked into it. Every single triumph and failure they go through, you are there along with them. The acting is great...many praises to Matthew Broderick, Cary Elwes (loved him in The Princess Bride), Denzel Washington, and Morgan Freeman, along with the rest of the cast. There were many times when I found myself crying. The end scene is amazing, and very sad. I'm so glad that this portrayal of such an important historical battle was well done. If you are interested in Civil War history, you should also watch Gettysburg (but only if you have about 4 hours on your hands).
