This is the first tribute video I uploaded right there, and then came another (but I'm not really great at making this, it's just happening whenever I want to).

So, I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did :)

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

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.

When I watched Glory (1989) [and I already rewatched this quite often], I decided to have some fun to make these three wallpapers [1 desktop/PC + 2 phone wallpapers].

The movie is one of my favorites, and I honestly want to buy Shaw's book, "Blue-Eyed Child of Fortune" someday. He is one of Union Army officers that made me eager to know and learn more about the American Civil War [the others are Grant and Sherman].
