Glory - 1989 - 7/10

During America’s Civil War, Massachusetts forms a regiment of black volunteers.
Training, drilling, facing the same discrimination as before.
Yes, the narrative goes into that, but this is a war film, with a lot of action.
The cast is exceptional
While historical accuracy is a bit suspect, the historical elements ring true.
Characters, motivations, prevailing attitudes.
Somewhat ignored during its release, and awards were spotty, this has aged well.
