Denzel Washington's Glory

208 Words1 Page

I thoroughly enjoyed this film,and felt it may have been one of the best civil war films I have ever seen. One might even say Glory was glorious. The only part of the film I didn't like was the battle scenes. The battles felt very staged, you could tell there was very little emotion when it came down to the fighting and shooting. I felt the acting was superb though, Denzel Washington was amazing in all regards. You could feel his pride and rage in every scene he wanted you too. He totally deserved the Oscar for his portrayal of Trip in this piece.
I feel the only part where this film lacked was in the battle scenes. The staging and choreography are mediocre at best. The way people died was defiantly overly dramatic and they could have most

    It was a very well written and interesting book in my opinion. I believe almost anyone would be able to sit down and read it even if they do not truly enjoy history. For someone who enjoys history, it would be extremely enjoyable to them. This book included many true events and people such as Robert E. Lee the real commander of the Confederate army. Also, the battles that were included as a part of this book were all true battles that had took place during the early 1860s.

    In this article, the intent was to show us the Civil War from a confederate’s perspective and I think it did a great job at that. Showing that the army officers interacted during the war even unearthing the Native American skeletons and gathering them up to see what their ancestors looked like. This article did not concentrate much on the war which I think was a good thing since a lot of people today usually view the confederates as bad people since they were fighting to keep slavery. There is one flaw that I found in this article.

    The civil war is considered to be one of the darkest times in American history. More lives were lost in the war in total than in any other war the U.S has ever fought. Perhaps you say this is because the country fought itself, but the real question is, why did it? This was a country with ties of brotherhood that was built on freedom. But, it was a country that had never really solved its inherent problems that stemmed from its creation and was finally falling apart.

    It baffles me to see how these men, women, and children were treated as animals. I ask the question, how could these owner treat the slaves like this and not have any regrets or fears as to what would happen to them when they die. It also made me think on the slaves who were not born slaves that came from Africa who did know the language, customs, and how they were up rooted from their lives. I always thought that slaves were separated from their families because one of the family members did wrong. This film taught me that that was not always the reason some slave owners sold members of the slave families just because they could.
