They, too, were soldiers..... July 6, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Freed Slaves fighting for their own freedom... seems like an odd concept but it's true. Freed from one bond of servitude, these men of color were chained to another bond of servitude, the U.S. Army. Battling for freedom and equality that was nothing if not weak and half-imaginary, these brave men fought valiantly to earn a previously-unsung spot in history.
Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman lead a magnificent ensemble cast in a movie that is about more than just a war. It's about an epic struggle. A struggle between men, between races, between thoughts, between ideas, between societies and between past and future.
The bravery of the men depicted in this movie should never again be forgotten. The unselfish sacrifice and the reward they were denied for so long should stand as a lesson for all time. They were given nothing though they were expected to give their all in the service of a country that hated them, that thought they were no more valuable than a horse, a mule or the dog sitting on the front porch.
The courage and the humility is must have taken... it gives me shivers just thinking about it.
Incredibly moving June 13, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
It's been 15 years since I last saw this movie and was as excellent as I had remembered it. The movie is superbly cast and is beautifully written and directed. Of particular note are the sweeping vistas of the military gatherings. They're big and rich and really set the tone for the magnitude of a great war epic. It's a great picture and should be viewed by all to gain an appreciation for just how important the black military was in effecting the outcome of the Civil War.
The finest Civil War movie May 18, 2007 Quite simply, this is the very best (by a long shot!) Civil War film ever made by anyone. It is the gold standard by which all other films of the era should be measured. Outstanding acting by all, brilliant direction, stunning visuals and music, if you haven't seen this yet, all I can say is don't wait any longer, see it now!!!
