This is the Movie for which Denzel Washington won an Oscar for Best
Supporting Actor. However, the performance of the entire cast was
also highly commendable. The movie depicts the participation of
African American soldiers in Civil War combat. Matthew Broderick
plays the part of Robert Gould Shaw, the son of Boston abolitionists
who volunteers to command the all-black 54th Regiment of the
Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. The film also features memorable
performances by Morgan Freeman and Cary Elwes. The movie ends with
the assault on Fort Wagner in South Carolina. You absolutely must
either see or buy this movie. Of course there'd be no sense in buying
the movie unless you intend to watch it. Unless it's a gift for
someone else of course. Then it might be considered rude to open it
up, watch it and then give it as a present. |
