A Well Made Movie

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2017)

Originally when I went to watch this movie, I was skeptical on whether or not I would like it. However, as I watched, the film moved me in a way that was quite unexpected. I ended up thoroughly enjoying the movie, wanting to watch it all over again.
Edward Zwick, I feel, does a very good job in portraying the life that the men of the 54th Regiment lived in. The controversy that revolved around these men and the way that they overcame it is incredibly showed. Watching the movie, I feel as though I could understand in some cases the depth of pain and emotion the men felt.
Overall, 'Glory' is truly moving, allowing viewers to have a good understanding of what exactly black soldiers faced during the Civil War and the path they traveled on to secure the freedom for all.
Though there are the occasional mishaps in the movie, the majority of the film has a touching and mainly accurate portrayal of the time that these men served in the Union.
'Glory' is definitely a film not to be missed, no matter what your preference is.
