GLORY: The finest war film

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2000)

The film "Glory" (1989) was skillfully directed by Edward Zwick(Courage Under Fire, The Siege). The thing that truly sets this film apart from all others is the quality of the filmwork. The acting was superb - skilled famous actors such as Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, and Andre Braugher lending their talents to the picture. The color of the film itself is very inspiring and interesting. The story and cinematography are together, unmatched. Another thrilling aspect is the fine stuntwork (check out that end-credit list of stuntplayers/performers)! In such modern times, it is nice to have seen a film that is simple in nature but can speak to us all. My hat goes off to all the brilliant filmmakers, and the courageous real colored men of the 54th.
