White or Black man's Glory?

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2002)

Pros: Cinematography, Directing, Score, Costumes, Fight scenes, Acting Cons: Not told from company's view, stereotypical characters, historical inaccuracies, Broderick looks young
Brilliantly directed by Zwick, Glory is one of the best movies of the eightees. This film feels like a personal film to all involved in it. Gloroius battle scenes and cinematography and it cost only 18 million dollars to make. The Journey of Denzel Washington and the whole company is a fascinating one that will leave you crying, laughing and then finally cheering for them. It is nice to know that hollywood still hasn't gone commercialized and that occasionally important projects like this filters through the crack
Premise: Follows the journey of Robert Shaw leading the first all black company into battle
Glory was nominated for five Academy awards including best picture and won three
Grade: 9.8/10 (One of the best war movies ever made)
