Glory is a must see Civil War movie. Do I think it's the best civil war movie like many others have claimed? No. It's a great movie with a great story made all the better by the fact that it is a true story. But there are simply too many inconsistencies and historical inaccuracies for me to give it a higher rating. I may be in the minority here, but I love war movies that try to be as accurate as possible such as Dunkirk. You can never be perfect when it comes to historical screenplays but you can certainly tell when a director tries their best to be historically accurate down to the small detail. Glory is historically accurate in its story but as far as civil war movies go, it is not on the top of the list for accurate details. Call me nit picky if you must but these inaccuracies tend to throw me off when I should be paying attention to the movie rather than wondering why a South Carolina regiment is flying a Tennessee rebel flag or why the soldiers don't have bayonets mounted on their guns and just as they charge bayonets magically appear. I'm certainly not a civil war expert or a war expert in general but if I can see these inaccuracies than the director should have as well.
