tonight we watched a powerful movie..well just me, Claire was sleeping in my lap. Tri Stars film Glory starring Mathew Broderick (not a favorite actor, but did a great job in this role), Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. Broderick stars as Colonel Robert Gould Shaw in the story based on true events...The Union Army has decided to form the 54th Massachusetts Regiment which will be the first army with African-Americans. This is a story of the men of this regiment who want only to prove their courage, pride, worth, and the ability to be soldiers. They must overcome many obstacles including the prejudice of the rest of the Union Army. The soldiers are made up of a few free men, but mostly run-away slaves.....Mr. Washington is one of my favorites and I have seen him in some great roles, but this is the best role I have seen him in..he is a run-away slave who has anger in his soul and hate in his heart, but the army, the experience, the discipline changes him. The fighting is brutal...every war, every era has its own way of fighting....here they form lines and fire at each other at close range. At the end Colonel Shaw volunteers the 54th to lead the assault on Fort Wagner on the South Carolina coast leading to Charleston....here they prove their courage and prove their manhood.....I give this movie four and a half out of 5 Garry stars...I really find no fault in this movie, from the production, the acting, or the story, but its hard to give a movie 5 stars and say that its perfect....theres more to fighting than rest. Theres courage and strength of heart. You should have seen us 2 days ago, we were a sight to behold
