Very touching true story of the most famous black regiment of the Civil War.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2001)

This is by far the best movie of all time. It is historically accurate as well as touching and dramatic. Matthew Broderick gave an outstanding performance as Robert Gould Shaw, The colonel of the 54th negro regiment of Massachusetts. Although hardly known, Jihmi Kennedy gave a great performance as a stuttering black soldier. Cary Elwes also did a good job as Major Cabot Forbes, second in command. Morgan Freeman gave the best performance of the soldiers in the 54th, (Matthew Broderick was the best overall) and so was Denzel Washington, who won an academy award for his portrayal of the runaway slave soldier, Trip. Another plus in this motion picture is the music, which was incredibly fit for the movie, and really brought emotions alive. Okay, that's enough. I must say again, that this is the best movie of all time, so see it... NOW!!!
