powerful war movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2000)

When I first saw this movie, it really turned me on. I was almost in tears when the men had to go out to war. The movie has a feeling that makes you feel you were in the battle. I thought it was the best war movie that I have ever seen. All of the stars were excellent, especially Denzel Washington. He was superb. The thing i like about this movie was that it shows that pain the men had to go through before they had to go out for women. Part of the reason was that the commanders wanted them get ready. Also, I love the music. It creates a certain mood in every scene that the music is playing. I recommend this film highly for people who want to learn about the Civil War and family viewing. 10 out of 10.
