Glory

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2006)

This movie was, by far, one of the best Civil War movies that I have seen. Usually you see the normal, standard army perspective, but this time- you see it from an African American one. It really opened my eyes to what their emotions must have been like. Denzel Washington really portrayed his character well, as did the rest of them. I was glad that our American History teacher decided to show it to us. It gave myself, and the rest of my class, a better understanding of the Civil War as a whole. It made all the issues: slavery, choices, freedom, a lot more real to my classmates and I. The cinematography could have been a little bit more thought out. All in all I thought it was a pretty decent film.
