A great film - everyone should see it

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2005)

The movie "Glory" is a film which never ceases to amaze me. The acting is superb, with the likes of Matthew Broderick as the honorable Colonel Robert Shaw, Denzel Washington as the passionate and embittered essence of the Massachusetts 54th in the form of Private Trip, Morgan Freeman as the wise, experienced, and ultimately uplifting leader, Sergent Rawlins, and Cary Elwes, who plays a subtly powerful and effective Major Forbes. The supporting cast, including Andre Braughter as Thomas Searles and Jimhi Kennedy as Jupiter Sharts, delivered wonderful performances as well, demonstrating braveness and determination in the face of danger. James Horner's score fits in PERFECTLY with the mood of the movie - it never ceases to make me feel a degree of compassion and love for the soldiers and the achievements that they obtain throughout the course of the film. This is an emotionally draining experience, I guarantee that you will be moved in some way for the better by viewing it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL.
