Summary: glory
Comment: This was a very impressive movie and I am glad that I bought it. If you read the history of this civil war battle first - you will enjoy the movie much better. I recommend the movie Glory.

Summary: ZWICK'S MASTERPIECE
Comment: very , very seldom does a picture come along that can shine a light on a time and place in history and illuminate the heroic sacrifice of humanity so brilliantly . i don't hesitate to say that this is one of most deeply profound and tragically necessary films i've ever seen . it is astonishing on every level and makes me extremely proud to be both an american and a recipient of the windfall of these great men and their enormous valor and courage . on the short list of best and most important historic films since they came into being . heartbreaking and prompting much soul searching . do not miss it .

Summary: GLORY,ABOVE THE REST.
Comment: With no doubt the best Civil War picture ever made ,so far. The story of Robert Gould Shaw and his colored regiment,the 54th Massachusetts.Lincoln credited the black soldiers for turning the tide of the war for the Union victory.Glory is probably the most realistic of the Civil War films,Gettysburg is a good picture,but it seems like all the actor's are wearing fake beards,also, there is a blank spot to the whereabouts of Jeb Stuart in the film.Gods and Generals,a flat out boring film and I was disappointed in Robert Duvalls role as Lee,not so much the acting,but the lack of,strictly a cameo role for Duvall.Glory is a classic movie overall not only for history but a milestone in the entire motion picture industry,I think I've seen this movie at least thirty five times,with superb acting.spectacular cinematography,accurate story and screenplay,wish there were a few more battle scenes,the grand finale made up for it leaving the viewer stunned.Denzel Washington won the oscar for best supporting actor,but I think Morgan Freeman was also in the running,excellent acting all around.(a classic war movie.)Col. Shaw says,Forbes! if you dont believe in what we're doing here,maybe you should'nt be a part of it.

Summary: One of the best movies ever made.
Comment: There is also an educational version of the film that is edited only somewhat. My students, 6th graders, really enjoyed watching this film and it provided us with some great dialogue in class once it was done. I highly recommend seeing this film if you have not already.
