Another Post

Yeah, I haven't had time until now, so it's time for another post!

On Monday, we saw the movie Glory. I didn't really like the Matthew Broderick character (Colonel Shaw(sp?)). He didn't seem like an accurately portrayed Civil War colonel. He was far too wishy-washy and never really seemed to act on any well-thought principle. He never seemed sure of himself, and it never seemed like he learned anything from his experiences (even when his behavior changed). I also agree with Rein that the film centralized the "plight" of a white man who could not "not be a bigot" to the point where the film took on some racist undertones.
