Based on the historical novels ONE GALLANT RUSH by Peter Burchand and LAY THIS LAUREL by Lincoln Kirstein and the letters of Robert Gould Shaw, the film follows the youthful Colonel Shaw (Matthew Broderick) as he takes responsibility for readying these soldiers for battle. Shaw, a privileged young Boston Brahman, finds the job harder than expected because many of the men balk at taking orders from him. Private Trip (Denzel Washington) is especially resistant to Shaw's leadership, but over time the two come to an understanding as they endure the hardships of the war. On July 18, 1863, Shaw volunteers the 54th for the honor of leading the charge against Ft. Wagner, a mission that means almost certain death, with Trip carrying the regiment's colors into battle.

Another quality film dealing with American history, specifically the Civil War. Edward Zwick is a very capable director who knows how to shoot, and war sequences are his specialty. The final attack on the fortress is truly powerful. The actors are solid (especially Morgan Freeman in the role of a black sergeant, he is excellent!) and of course, the master of music James Horner with another superb composition.

One of the best films about the Civil War? More like one of the best (anti) war films ever. The riveting battle scenes show war in all its gruesome pointlessness, the script then beautifully showcases how fighting the enemy can be as difficult as fighting one's own prejudices. Perfect actors (when you have Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington in a film, it can't be any other way) and Horner's beautiful music make Glory an unforgettable experience. But I try not to imagine what it would look like if the film was produced today and how many people would scold it for being an ordinary agitation film. I'd rather say to myself that we've really advanced a little further than that.

Such a beautiful, poignant film that shows that black people are, by all appearances, better actors. At least in this case. Morgan Freeman is wonderfully minimalist, Denzel Washington is stunningly complex. But I was also surprised by Matthew Broderick, who I had never seen act like this before. And he's not black!

Historical-war dramas have always been Zwick's staple, and here he proves it again. Despite a very protracted start, things improve in pace, atmosphere and acting performances as the first clash arrives. In fact, for most of the film, Matthew Broderick’s character is one of the flattest commanders I've ever seen. The colonel he plays was probably no General Maximus, but that's still no reason for his performance to be so unremarkable. Fortunately, the black squadron is there to save the day lead by Freeman and especially Washington, I fully believed his role as a former slave.
