Greatest Civil War Film of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 1999)

This film incorporates an excellent screenplay with perhaps some of the best acting performances in the history of cinema to create the greatest war film ever. Saving Private Ryan is a big film right now, but its special effects can't compete with this film's heart. Denzel Washington was amazing in this film. The only performance I'd say he did better in was Malcolm X. Matthew Broderick's greatest performance came from this film. Morgan Freeman was even better than his usual magnificent self. The acting in this movie was inspired. Truly the greatest war film ever, and one of the greatest films ever overall.
