Powerful Film

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2018)

Glory is a powerful film about the 54th Massachusetts Regiment who fought bravely for the Union during the Civil War. Raw emotions are shown in the film through the wonderful acting of Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington and at times it is easy for the viewer to lost him/herself in events of the film. It is truly a unique film in this sense. This film however, is not 100% historically accurate as it portrays the black men as fugitive slaves when in reality they were primarily free black men. Nonetheless, the patriotism, bravery and glory displayed by the Regiment in this film something, that in my eyes, have made it one of the best movies I have ever seen.
