All men equal to fight

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2011)

This movie tells the story of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, who led the regiment made up entirely of African American men during the American Civil War.Glory (1989) is a war drama directed by Edward Zwick.Matthew Broderick gives a truly great performance as Shaw.And Denzel Washington gives a performance worth an Oscar as Trip.Morgan Freeman never lets you down, as he doesn't this time playing John Rawlins.Cary Elwes is brilliant as Cabot Forbes.Andre Braugher is very good as Thomas Searles.Great job from Bob Gunton, who plays Charles Garrison Harker.James Horner is behind the music.The movie has many scenes to remember, like when Trip is being whipped and a single tears goes down his cheek.Also the battle scenes work.We know now that it doesn't matter what the color of your skin is on the battle field.We all bleed the same way.
