Story Synopsis:
Historically accurate, visually invigorating, emotional and compelling, Glory is an epic masterpiece in which Denzel Washington won an Oscar® for Best Supporting Actor. The story centers on Colonel Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick) and his 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry—the first regiment to be recruited after President Lincoln opened his army to include black soldiers. This is their story of courage from the unit’s formation in 1862 to its disbandment at the war’s end.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture has been matted at 1.78:1. The picture has a pleasing presence, with accurate fleshtones, deep blacks, and natural appearing outdoor scenes. It is faulted by excessive grain throughout as well as poor shadow detail. Otherwise the disc does not suffer from artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack, while not comparable to the fidelity of the best, delivers an aggressive surround presence, particularly in the battle scenes. And James Horner delivers a powerful music score as well.
