Another of our favorite films ever, this story of an all-black Union Army regiment in the Civil War is best known for Denzel Washington’s Oscar winning performance. But it’s the rare sweeping historical film that takes time for truly moving, small moments between the men.
As far back as 1990, critics including Roger Ebert lamented that it’s told from a white POV — that of Col. Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick). But we may not have a Glory if not for screenwriter Kevin Jarre relying so heavily on Gould’s actual letters to his mother, which frame and personalize the story. And James Horner’s Glory score may be the best in any movie.
Glory uses some composite characters, but is very much based on a true story and follows key events quite closely. It’s a truly uplifting movie about astonishing courage.
