Glory- The title says it all

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2005)

During the Civil War, Robert Shaw(Matthew Broderick) becomes colonel of the 54th regiment, which is an all-black regiment. They not only battle against discrimination and prejudice, but the also battle against themselves and for their potential for greatness.
The movie also includes the some major actors who play supporting roles in the movie such as Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and Denzel Washington. Denzel Washington won Best Supporting actor for his role and Morgan Freeman and Matthew Broderick just got ripped off. The acting is absolutely wonderful. It captures every bit of the tenacity of the degradation that they faced. It's very convincing and if you are sensitive, you WILL cry when Denzel Washington is whipped on his back. It is one of the most emotional scenes that I have ever scene.
The civil war was captured greatly. The battle of Antetiam was extremely graphic and will make you turn away at some points. The intense images make this the best civil war movie ever. Overall, the movie is an almost perfect war epic.
I highly recommend this movie.
