An Amazing Civil War Movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2016)

I'm not one that watches a lot of historical movies but I would definitely recommend it to anyone. It is one of the best movies I have seen.
Although there aren't many battle scenes for a Civil War movie, the drama and story make up for it. The hardships and cruelty the soldiers face in the movie showed me a side of the Civil War I'd never really known before.
The emotional aspect of this movie is what makes it so great. It is amazing to see the transformation of Trip, as he goes from being a rebellious soldier to a soldier that is proud of who he is and what he is fighting for. It is also incredible to feel the sense of accomplishment that the soldiers had at Fort Wagner, even though they lost a lot of men and the battle.
Overall, this was an amazing movie and I am very glad I watched it.
