Movie Reviews of Glory (Special Edition, Repackaged)

Movie Review: ZWICK'S MASTERPIECE
Summary: 5 Stars

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 of Glory (Special Edition, Repackaged)

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 powerful Civil War drama is the startlingly good impressive and long-overdue story about a little-known chapter in American history: the first black combat unit. Broderick heads a first-rate cast as the white commander of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment an all-black fighting unit comprised of enlisted men who were initially denied the basic rights of other soldiers; they were then forced to prove themselves in order to be treated equally. Freeman offers solid support as the company's wise sergeant and Oscar winner Washington is outstanding as a former slave. Based on the letters of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw whom Broderick portrays.Features:Audio commentary (Director Edward Zwick; Optional Commentary by Zwick on Deleted Scenes)Other (Additional Picture-in-Picture Commentary by Zwick; Production Notes; Talent Files)Documentaries ("Voices of Glory" Making of; "The TrueSystem Requirements:Run Time: 122 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 043396165731 Manufacturer No: 16573
