Colonel Shaw and Major Forbes were buried with the regiment as a gesture of disrespect by the confederates as it was deemed a disgrace for white officers to be buried with black soldiers. They even sent a letter to shaws parents mocking them, shaws father actually replied by saying there is no better honor for his son than to be buried among his men who he truly cared about and gave his life for....what a elite gaurd to be surrounded by. Later on the graves were under union control and the army asked Shaw's father if they would like to have his son exhumed and buried in a cemetery for white officers and he refused saying....no may he rest in victory with his men.

It's an incredible moment for me in the movie, when you can see when Shaw realizes that his men were going to die, being picked off one by one. He knew they needed a reason to get going, to relight the fire that was waning, and so he stood even though he knew he was going to die. That kind of sacrifice for your men is precious.

I was the projectionist in our home town theatre when this film came out. I watched it dozens of times. I was so angry that I knew so little of this from what was taught in school. This is part of MY American history that was brushed over. I got up to speed fast. The scene of the burning of the town: something in the details caught my eye. When the men were leaving the area, you see them rolling the Flag up. Those days the Flag was still treated like a living thing. Rolling it up was to keep that banner from witnessing the shame they all felt and were forced to participate in. Also: when they made it over the fortress wall, a soldier is waving the Flag. His name was CARNEY and was the first American Black Soldier to be presented the Medal of Honor. Read up on him for more details.

@bretcantwell4921 5 месяцев назад

I first saw this in 89 or 90 and it's one of my favorite movies. Rollins is such a great character, I'm o.k. with them fictionalizing Carney, but his story is amazing as was his survival of the assault and keeping the flag aloft the whole time. In 2018 I was in Boston for a day and had three destinations: Fenway Park, USS Constitution and the Shaw/54th memorial at Boston Common.

Being from Massachusetts this film had a significant impact with me. The original barracks is located not too far from where I grew up and is also a train station stop.

@tarik158 6 месяцев назад

The men of the 54th Massachusetts and their 180,000 fellow Black soldiers are just as responsible for the United States as the soldiers of the Continental Army from the Revolution. One could even make the argument that they should be revered more since the Civil War marked the end of the first republic and the dawning of the multiethnic republic we now live in. Without their sacrifice this country would be a very different place.

@CamdenIrwin 5 месяцев назад

Their sacrifice should be honored but the north would've won regardless. The Union already had a 5 to 1 manpower advantage and a 85 to 1 advantage in industrial power. Not to mention the fact that the union had muskets that shot further and more accurately. The fact that the south held on for four years and was even winning for two of them is insane.

The first take Denzel was struck three times with his hands bound. The next take, the director then told the actor striking him not to stop until he cued him. Denzel did not know this would happen. So what you see is an excellent actor thrust into a scene that is all too real. The tear is real. The director said in the book if you listen closely you can hear another actor crying.

Some missions are just brutally hard to begin with. Plus they also had to prove they were as brave or braver than any white union soldiers, so even knowing the odds, they had to be the ones to do it, not watch others do it on their behalf first. What they proved by their heroic sacrifice made it possible for many more black soldiers to be created.

The bravery and commitment to his troops was beyond words. I am so happy that this movie was made to honor the heroism and courage of the 54th. Gotta admit, first time I saw this I cried the last 30 mins of the movie. A huge shout out to James Horner for the equally incredible musical score. FYI, the actor who played Thomas was Andre Braugher. He sadly died of lung cancer at the age of 61 this past December. He was not in John Wick. Lance Reddick played the hotel manager.

Learning to March is actually harder than most people think. Occasionally you get someone who just has absolutely no coordination and no rhythm. But that is not the only issue. People need to learn to march and step together. Also, there are many different commands that can be given when you march. You have to learn to execute those commands right away. In the Marine corps, we practice marching for many hours and yet there were still a number of people that struggled with it. Many times more difficult than marching itself is actually being the person who gives out those commands. You have to know which step to begin giving the command in order for the command to be executed properly. I have seen many people lose control of their formation by marching the platoon into a wall or into park vehicles because it took too long for them to think about what command they had to give

Approximately 20,000 black sailors served in the Union Navy and formed a large percentage of many ships' crews. Later in the war, many regiments were recruited and organized as the United States Colored Troops, which reinforced the Northern forces substantially during the conflict's last two years.

Even though Fort Wagner never fell, the 54th was the only Union regiment to actually breach its walls. Despite having to retreat, they didnt just turn and run, they were still fighting and firing until they reached a point of safety and even then, they wanted to go back in but the officers had to say no because they had taken too many casualties and didn't have the supplies. There's a monument for Colonel Shaw and the 54th in Massachusetts.

It was a pyrrhic victory, at best, for the Union. McClellan outnumbered Lee, but his poor field command gave Lee time to have reinforcements reach the field and blunt the final Union assaults.

Lincoln would relieve McClellan shortly after this, and he would never hold another major field command for the remainder of the war.

This movie holds a special place for me as well. I live in the low country of South Carolina, not to far from Beaufort and Charleston where these events took place. A couple of years after this movie came out, around 93 or 94, i joined a Civil War Re-enactment regiment here and we did a "Ghost Walk" for Halloween in the Charleston cemetery. We would do tours of people in the dark on the path and re-enact scenes from the war. Like a battle scene, a medical scene of surgeries and like a party scene showing life at home during the war, things like that. Anyways Me and my best friend was in full battle dress, confederate uniforms, and we are seeing people into the walled cemetery, standing guard at the gate, and then something very cool happens, the 54th Mass Re-enactment troop shows up in full dress. We all salute one another, and we welcome them into the show. We had a great time, cooking out tht night and getting to know them. They were a newly started unit and mostly because of the success of this movie. Also, I think it was in the late 90’s, a large amount of these soldiers remains were discovered on the beach near the fort were the forts defenders had buried them in what was believed to have been a trench or moat. They were removed and buried with honors in the Charleston cemetery with other war dead.

"If you men will take no pay, then none of us will." OMG, I love that scene. Screwing the men over w/their pay wasn't Shaw's doing, but he was not only the messenger, but still had to lead 'em after getting screwed over. Tearing up his own pay was "walking the walk." The men appreciated it. When I went to Navy E6 leadership school, they showed a scene from movie "12 O'Clock High" w/Gregory Peck (great movie). That said, I think this scene shld be shown in both NCO & Officer leadership courses. I went to see Glory when it was released in the theater & hv seen it IDK how many times since. I love this move!

They actually had anesthetic. The problem was supply. They often ran out of it and therefore had to perform surgeries like that without the benefit of that. The issue was that the bullets used back then (Called Minie Balls) were 57 calibur lead shot. So when they hit a bone they often shattered the entire bone to pieces. Even today we have a hard time dealing with such an injury. Back then without the knowledge of germs, the only thing you *could* do was cut off the limbs.

@Justanotherconsumer 6 месяцев назад

For comparison, .50 BMG is currently used as an anti-materiel round (i.e. used on things like shooting the engine blocks of trucks). The .57 Minie ball is bigger than that. Less energy, though, 3kJ vs 10kJ or so as the modern bullet is a lot faster. A typical modern rifle round, the 5.56 NATO (.223 vs .57), is about half the energy of a Minie. Ballistics etc… are more complex than that, but it’s a lot of lead.

As a Civil War re-enactor that specializes in Civil War Medicine, the wounded soldier, at the beginning of the movie, yelling " please don't cut anymore! during surgery, that is a myth. Wounded soldiers were given chloroform as anesthesia before surgery. So that soldier wouldn't be thrashing around and yelling, like in the movie, he would be still and in a medically induced sleep, gently held down by the hospital steward during surgery. That scene just reinforces the myth, that Civil War doctors just cut off limbs without regard. There were so many amputations, during the war, because the bullet shattered bone upon contact, so doctors had no choice but to amputate the limb. Bone and nerve reconstruction was in its infancy, during the war, that kind of delicate surgery would have taken the doctors too long to perform. Amputation was the quick way to deal with gunshot wounds. The phrase "saved by the saw" was coined during the war, explaining that if a wounded soldier could be operated on quickly enough, that through amputation, his life could be saved.
