Glory (1989)

From the opening scene, I couldn’t help but think, “What a bunch of morons!”. Surely men weren’t so stupid back then as to walk straight into their enemies bullets and cannon fire without so much as a strategy or defense? Get behind a freaking tree for heaven’s sake!

I’ve heard it’s an honorable way to fight, but is it honorable to lead men into a massacre? During the scenes that did not involve fighting, it felt more like a high school production. Very heavy handed and a lot of overacting.
