Glory is an amazing movie which chronicles the emergence of the first all-black volunteer infantry of the Civil War. Leading actors: Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington, each portray their diverse characters in such a way, that the events shown become easier to understand. Often times, the remarkable acts of the colored infantries in the civil war, are left less noted. However, the film showcases this monumental step in the creation of equality for all US citizens. The bravery and determination of the men, along with the tenacity of their leader, Col. Robert Gould Shaw(Matthew Broderick),is made prominent. Despite the fact that the film was created in 1989, the overall quality is ahead of its time. Scenes are emotional, powerful, and action-packed. All in all, Glory is a must see if you are looking to expand your knowledge on events of the Civil War, or if you are just looking for an impactful story.
