Watched Glory for the 3rd time already, I can't keep watching it every time I finish it I cry. It's such a good movie and the casting is amazing, Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, and Cary Elwes. When I first watched this in history class I never expected to become this obsessed. I need more people to watch and enjoy this movie.🫠🫶

Glory (1989, Edward Zwick)

24/01/2024

Glory is a 1989 film directed by Edward Zwick about the first volunteer fighter unit formed by African Americans in the United Army during the American Civil War.

The film is inspired by the personal letters of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, who led the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment from its formation in February 1863 until the attack on Fort Wagner in South Carolina, where he died during the assault in July of the same year.

Among the awards received, the film received five nominations for the 1990 Oscars, winning three as best supporting actor for Denzel Washington, best cinematography and best sound.

On September 17, 1862, during the American Civil War, Captain Robert Gould Shaw was slightly wounded during the Battle of Antietam and returned home to Boston on medical leave. During a ceremony in November of the same year, he met the abolitionist Frederick Douglass and at the request of Governor John Andrew, accepted the task of training and commanding with the rank of colonel the first regiment of African-American men of the Union Army.

The men are informed that due to President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, the Confederacy has declared that all captured black Union soldiers will be returned to slavery and the white officers under their command shot.

In the subsequent clashes, the regiment gained the valor and respect of the white soldier and Shaw proposed himself to General George Strong as the first attack force on Fort Wagner, as part of the campaign to secure the port city of Charleston.

The officers are aware that breaking the fort's defenses will not be easy; in fact the fortress had previously been attack by a white regiment but without success (First Battle of Fort Wagner). A front-line force of the 54th, with supporting white companies, begins the Second Battle of Fort Wagner.

The film budget was $18 million and filming took place in Georgia and Massachusetts from February 9 to April 27, 1989.

Rotten Tomatoes indicates that 93% of 40 selected critics gave the film a positive review, with an average score of 7.9 out of 10.

If you ever need a good cry or just want to feel the horrible mystery and beauty of mortality deep inside your bones, just watch the scene in Glory (1989) when Colonel Shaw (Matthew Broderick) rides his horse along the beach prior to the assault on Fort Wagner, peering out at the waves and the seagulls with tears in his eyes because he knows the remainder of his life is counted in hours and he'll never look at the ocean again.

We watched the movie Glory in my US, it's a Civil War movie based entirely off of the letters that were sent by Robert Gould Shaw.

Now we finished it (it was super super good!!!) AND we have to do a project for it. Make a movie poster and write three journal entries as a character of our choice from the movie.

I AM A WRITER!!! THIS WAS A DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENT FOR MY TEACHER TO ASSIGN /pos

And that's how I wrote a three page doc consisting of three entries having way more than the required amount of paragraphs entirely as Robert Shaw's friend Colbat Folbes.

AND I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SLIPPED IN A LIL GAYNESS BECAUSE I GOT SUUUPER STRONG VIBES FROM THEM WHENEVER THEY WERE ON SCREEN

[lboogie1906]

The Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was the first Northern Black volunteer regiment enlisted to fight in the Civil War. Its accomplished combat record led to the general recruitment of African Americans as soldiers. They comprised ten percent of the Union Army and Navy. The Fifty-fourth’s successful campaign for equal pay signaled a move toward racial justice in the military.

President Abraham Lincoln agreed to enroll African Americans in the Union Army. Massachusetts’ abolitionist governor received the War Department’s consent to form a regiment of free Northern Blacks. Prominent abolitionist Robert Gould Shaw accepted the position of colonel of the Fifty-fourth. 1,007 black men had enlisted in the Fifty-fourth.

Individual states recruited and trained local Civil War regiments which joined the Federal forces. Only 113 men (13 percent) hailed from Massachusetts. The new regiment represented a broad geographical spectrum, including soldiers from 15 northern states, four border states, five Confederate states, Canada, and the West Indies. At least 30 were formerly enslaved. 1,007 Black infantrymen and 37 white officers served in the regiment. African Americans were not permitted to serve as officers, all the sergeants and corporals were Black.

After an emotional march on Boston Common on May 28, 1863, the Fifty-fourth sailed south. Fort Wagner was the Fifty-fourth’s most costly and famed battle. At least 74 enlisted men and 3 officers, including Shaw, died in combat, and it was celebrated within the Union as a heroic defeat. Following Wagner, the Fifty-fourth fought in the Battle of Olustee, the Battle of Honey Hill, and the Battle of Boykin’s Mill.

The regiment’s survivors were discharged on September 1, 1865, and the Black community of Boston sought to erect a memorial to the Fifty-fourth.

The film Glory was based on the history of the Fifty-fourth and the Fort Wagner attack. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Andre Braugher in a scene from Glory (1989)

In his first role in a feature film, the late Andre Braugher left a hell of an impression - one year after his graduation from Juilliard for drama.

Glory, directed by Edward Zwick, tells the story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment - the Union army's first all-black unit in the midst of the American Civil War. It is told mostly through the lens of Capt. Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick), the white commanding officer of the 54th. Braugher plays Thomas Searles, a freedman who was Shaw's former secretary and enlisted shortly after hearing of the creation of the 54th.

Searles eventually learns the martial technique demonstrated in this scene and executes it to perfection during the film's climactic battle.
