Best movie of 1989

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2018)

A powerful and meaningful story about the segregation of African American soldiers fighting the Civil War alongside Caucasian soldiers seen through the eyes of Col. Robert Shaw. The action scenes are very realistic and powerful and so are the performances. It really surprises me that this war movie wasn't nominated Best Picture (although Morgan Freeman's other movie and Best Picture Winner Driving Miss Daisy is still a terrific movie), with strong accuracy in costumes, set design, props, choreography, etc.
