I don’t know how many times I have seen this movie If it comes on television I have to sit and watch. I just think it captures all of the possible complexities of the subject…and the heartbreaking complexity of the characters. Is there a more powerful scene in film than Denzel Washington being whipped at the order of his reluctant commanding officer (Matthew Broderick)? So much expressed in those few minutes without a spoken word. Outstanding performances by some of the best:Washington, Broderick, Freeman, Brauer….. just beautiful.
