Excellent film about a part of History that is hardly ever mentioned.

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2005)

Glory tells the story of the first black regiment in the United States Army. They are the 54th of Massachusetts and the regiment is comprised of runaway slaves. All of their officers are white. The story is seen from Robert Gould Shaw the young officer who decides to become the 54th's commanding officer. If there is a problem with Glory is that the film is seen through the eyes of white officer not the black soldiers. The men struggle with many social problems but overcome them and after several months of adversity they are finally able to fight. The film is great and it is a feel good story a movie that should be watched by all regardless of your race, ethnicity, or gender.
