A Very Realistic War Movie
21 January 2004
In the American Civil War, the young soldier Henry Fleming (Audie Murphy) has his baptism in battles, but becomes afraid and runs, escaping from the enemies. Ashamed with his act, in the next fight he leads the other soldiers, carrying the American flag and fighting bravely. This movie is very realistic: shows soldiers with fear, questioning what they are doing in the war, combining drama and action. Another good work of John Houston, based on a novel written in 1894, by Stephen Crane, a twenty-two years old man. This film shows the human side of the soldiers. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): `A Glória de um Covarde' (`The Glory of a Coward')
