Review:Glory is probably
the best Civil War film ever made. It tells the story of the first black regiment
in the U.S. Army's history. Underpaid, ill-equipped, and facing certain death
the regiment first fights racism and then the Confederacy. Matthew Brodrick looks
a little unsure of himself in this film, and this is exactly what his character
needed to demonstrate. Morgan Freeman (Shawshank Redemption,
Seven) is wonderful as usual. Denzel Washington's
performance is blistering and he won a much deserved Oscar. There is one scene
in particular that is unforgettable (the whipping scene). The film also contains
Oscar-winning cinematography by Freddie Francis (The Elephant
Man, The Straight Story) and a awesome musical score by James Horner
(Braveheart, Field of
Dreams). -Review by Aaron Caldwell
