Incredible Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2001)

Glory is ,simply put, one of the finest motion pictures ever made. Edward Zwick managed to pull all the right elements together to make a near perfect film. The story is defiantely one worth telling and the screenplay does it justice. All the perfomances are perfect, with Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington giving fine perfomances as always. However, the single best acting job in the entire film is given by the vastly underrated Matthew Broderick, who strikes the perfect note as the center of the film. The battle scenes are directed with flair, and in my mind, every bit as good as those that are found in the overrated Saving Private Ryan. Glory's score is one of the best ever done for a film. James Horner, who did the score, is easily one of the best conductors in film today as his scores always elevate the film it is featured in. Glory is, simply put, one of the most moving films ever put on screen and is one everyone should watch at least once. I give Glory a 10 out of 10.
