One of the very best films about the Civil War, this instant classic from 1989 is also one of the few films to depict the participation of African American soldiers in Civil War combat. Based in part on the books Lay This Laurel by Lincoln Kirstein and One Gallant Rush by Peter Burchard, the film also draws from the letters of Robert Gould Shaw (played by Matthew Broderick), the 25-year-old son of Boston abolitionists who volunteered to command the all-black 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. Their training and battle experience leads them to their final assault on Fort Wagner in South Carolina, where their heroic bravery turned bitter defeat into a symbolic victory that brought recognition to black soldiers and turned the tide of the war. With painstaking attention to historical detail and richness of character, the film boasts superior performances by Denzel Washington (who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor), Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and Andre Braugher. Directed by Edward Zwick (cocreator of the TV series thirtysomething), this unforgettable drama is as important as Schindler's List in its treatment of a noble yet little-known episode of history. --Jeff Shannon |

GloryI had purchased this as the "edited" version and it is definitely NOT edited. This DVD is not appropriate for educational purposes. |

Poignant. |

Glory is a important and sad film about the turblent Civil War and how slaves were treated during that time period. Denzel Washingtion won a best supporting actor Oscar for his brave yet sensitive performance. Matthew Broderick seems out of his league here, he will always be Ferris to me! Morgan Freeman and Cary Elwes also star. Check this highly acclaimed film out some time! |

Great Movie |
|
This is a great historical film that really captures the spirit and conditions faced by the soldiers of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment. |

A very good historical film |
That blacks in the civil war era had it hard even when free
isn't new, but that a group was trained as soldiers in
the north and actually fought in the south.
Matthew Broderick seems young for the leading officer, but the acting of Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington in this film is first rate.
I think had the ending not been so depressing that it might have gotten more awards. You finish this film thinking that they all died
and pretty much for nothing
as the fort was never taken. |
