A Giant among films
|
| Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington share the spotlight in a great film. Full of heroes and villains, glory and tragedy, it is alternately violent (realistically - in terms of bloodshed) and tender, brutal and compassionate, emotionally charged and peaceful. I have never seen a film that shows the maturation of so many excellent characters amid so many struggles and battles - physical, emotional, civil, personal, all the great elements of film are there. I only wish they had shown a little more of the enemy (the South). The confederates are left out of it. Broderick's character, Robert Gould Shaw, starts out as a miraculously lucky tenderfoot, wrestles with his commitment to the war and to justice on social, civil, and human levels (that's what is so great about this film, the complexity and tightness of the plot). The development of Shaw's regiment, the 54th, is what occupies the film and emerges as its triumphant glory. |
