One of the most outstanding films of the Civil War and a battalion of men of colour under the leadership of a white man. The cast is brilliant, the writing is outstanding and Edward Zwick, the director creates a film that one will remember for all time. It becomes the film that made a superstar of Denzel Washington. As Private Trip he is resistant to white leadership but becomes more malleable as the war races on and in turn raced directly to a Best Supporting Oscar for his perfection in the role.
