Amazon.com essential video:
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

This was a great movie. The cast was amazing. Sets, direction. Everything was great but when the troops would go into battle I kept thinking what horrible field strategies they were. It was like the troops were just marching into the line of fire. I have read a little about american history but I have not read about this battle (yet) but I find it hard to believe that the strategies of the north for this battle was this stupid.

Enjoyed this film very much. Since I have read more I see where some things are not totally accurate but overall it is an excellent film.

'Glory' is a extremely well made and moving film about the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. Matthew Broderick pretty much plays his role of a lifetime in the film and is a great Robert Gould Shaw. The other actors also do fine work. Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, and Cary Elwes are all very excellent also. The battle scenes are done in a very gritty manner and bring some of the brutality of the Civil War to life.
I wish some real historical characters besides Shaw could have ... Read More

I cannot help but laugh at those who feel that this movie is "historically inaccurate" because they combined characters and changed minor events for the sake of drama. It's a movie, not a history lesson, and those people are sadly missing the point. The laughable notion is that this somehow how to do with a liberal viewpoint, as if the notion that black men fought and died for something they believed in didn't actually happen.
The movie is relatively flawless, it avoids melodrama when ... Read More

Great movie . Sad that other video places do not carry the older titles on blu ray when they come out.
