Movie Review of Glory

The movie Glory is often shown in high school history classes. Unlike most other historical movies, this movie goes slightly farther. The review of Glory on Reel View says, "the filmmakers weave an impressively large historical tapestry without ever losing sight of the characters that make up the individual threads." In the film, unlike some other historical movies, several different perspectives are examined. The watcher sees the war from the perspective of a person of power, but also from the perspectives of several of the black soldiers. The film also goes farther than most others by using actual primary sources in order to write the script and some scenes in the movie.
