One of most inspiring war movies of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2002)

When it comes to war movies, I have never seen such an inspiring film that moved me so much like Glory did. Whether it was the characters or the musical score, Glory proved to be a film that ranks as one of the all-time greats. Many war movies depict events that occurred during the Vietnam or World Wars so it was fascinating to see a movie based on the events of the Civil War. Characters such as Matthew Broderick delivered such a magnificent performance as the leader of the first ever all black regiment for the Union. His character really showed what leadership and determination is all about despite the ridicule you might get for doing something no one else would do. Denzel Washington also came through with a breakout performance as Private Trip, a slave who grows from a rebellious slave to a persevering hero. The rest of the cast, including Morgan Freeman and Carl Elwes, helped add memorable roles during the film as well. Besides the suspense and action, I found the music incredibly moving which helped add emphasis especially to the battle scenes. If you have not seen this film, I strongly urge you to see it. It is a must see.
