This great film should have won best picture.

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2003)

Glory is the best war film I have ever seen. It most certainly should have won the best picture Oscar for 1989. I first saw Glory in an 11th grade history class. This movie is what got me hooked into being a Civil War buff.
I cannot believe that it was not even nominated for best picture; and that Driving Miss Daisy was and won! I have seen both films and Glory is most definitely the better of the two. With a great cast, including Denzel Washington who rightfully won the best supporting actor, and a great story which just happened to be true; this is really a film that anyone over the rated R age should see.
