Glory! Hold My Beer While I Fight for Freedom (Starring Denzel with a Side of Muskets)
Ever heard of a bunch of guys who just really, really wanted equality? Yeah, me neither. But that's exactly what you get in the 1800s epic, Glory. Except these guys aren't your average Joes. We're talking about the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, history's first all-Black regiment in the American Civil War. Pretty darn cool, right?
Facing Down Prejudice with Muskets and Mustache
Now, leading this ragtag band of freedom fighters is Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, played by the ever-charming Matthew Broderick. (Yes, the same guy from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Who knew he could be so serious?) But Colonel Shaw ain't got it easy. He's gotta deal with prejudice on both sides of the battlefield. The Confederates think the whole idea of Black soldiers is laughable. The Union isn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat either. Seems some folks just can't get with the whole equality thing.
Enter Denzel Washington, Stealer of Scenes (and Hearts)
That's where Denzel Washington comes in. He plays Private Trip, a runaway slave with more grit than a bucket of gravel. Trip and his fellow soldiers don't just fight for the Union, they fight to prove their worth and earn their freedom. Denzel, as always, delivers a powerhouse performance that'll have you cheering one minute and wiping away tears the next.
