Quick note: toward the end I said half the men die...that's not correct. Half were casualties but many were wounded and survived.
Such an underrated movie. Denzel Washington's Oscar was so deserved.
Denzell was great...no argument....but I think both Mathew Broderick and Morgran Freeman gave excellent performances. Mathew Broderick is known as a good light comedic actor but he showed that when given the right part he could handle a dramatic role.
Denzel didn't deserve an Oscar for the movie.
He deserve 2
Andre Braugher was fantastic as well!!
Could have given out half a dozen Oscar’s with this amazing film
Is it even underrated? It's been recieved as it should. The reality is the ending is so devastating its not exactly a movie people want to watch repeatedly. But that doesn't make it a bad movie. Just tragic.
This scene had me in goosebumps, especially after seeing the other troops disrespecting them throughout the movie, 10/10 would watch every month.
The point is actually that these are the same troops that got in a fight with them earlier
Love this movie. Had to do a project in 8th grade on a Civil War battle, and while most people did the obvious ones like Gettysburg, Antietam and Bull Run, I chose to do mine on Ft Wagner. Built a whole scale fort out of wood and sand and used the miniature civil war model soldiers and everything. Probably my favorite project I’ve ever done.
Noice.
Saw this movie when I was in 7th grade, it stuck with me forever and a big inspiration for getting a degree in history! It’s an emotional movie to watch, we also had to watch it for Army ROTC training, as Shaw has to make moral choices that call into question the orders he has been given and solidarity with his men.
Love this movie. I have friends who were extras in the 54th, some of whom are still living history folks portraying US Colored Troop soldiers, and one who is an absolute expert in arms and equipment and I think was a consultant on this film. I completely agree that this is the best Civil War movie of all time, and this scene is great. All that said the 54th gets the lions share of the credit as an example of US Colored Troop units. Most of the 54th were free people of color. The same is true of the soldiers of the First Louisiana Native Guard. The 9th, 11th, and 13th Louisiana African Descent, however, were almost all (if not all) people who had recently escaped enslavement. They were fairly raw recruits when they were attacked at Milliken's Bend, Louisiana. They won that battle but the 9th suffered heavy casualties including a lot of captives. Most of the captives were murdered. That's another great story that gets lost behind the better publicized ones (like the 20th Maine and Chamberlain eclipsing the 140th New York and Paddy O'Rourke at Little Round Top for example). I know I beat the Western Theater drum a lot, but all these guys were heroes and deserve recognition. Maybe someday someone will make a movie about them.
My Ggggg Grandfather was made Lt. Lewis Reed of the 54th right before they sacked Charleston. He was later made Captain of the 54th company K. He served from the very beginning to the very end of the war. He was wounded at Antietam 10/17/62 and later returned. I have his musket. His sword is with a collector who won't sell it unfortunately. Anyways great video sir. I've always loved this movie even before my dad told me of our family history.
Military service is truly the biggest equalizer in life. Doesnt matter where you are from, how rich or poor your family is, what color you are etc you will all get your rear ends beaten and learn to respect the person and not those insignificant things. One of the most true statements I ever heard is the simple "Brothers in Arms" as you truly are Brothers from another mother at that point.
From someone who served I can tell you this is very true. I’m fact it starts with basic training. One of the reasons the drill sergeant is “mean” to everyone is because you have so many different kinds of people Jewish Christian black white north south and so on that you need something to hate together. Forget about your differences and hate the same dude makes you learn y’all ain’t so different
@@AlwaysBolttheBird Exactly. You all are just "Green" once in the Suk together.
In the Corps we're all green, dark or light. We're all devil dogs, old breed or new breed.
Yup military service and sports it doesn’t matter who your daddy is or was
I lightly disagree.
Tought yes, the institution and the very nature of his trade push to some equalization, the fact is that miliitary just attract part of population who are poor and yet want to respect some social order. But those population, in the military willl be exposed to danger, death, PTSD and permanent or lasting physical injury that risk to impair them socially after the service.
And meanwhile, many of those people will have problem to found lasting family.
Nothwistanding, all of the recruit won't end up officers, far from it. And military will have internal screw up, and politicking among highest rank tought success will moderate the phenomenon.
So in the end, military is an option to poverty, but it's not that bright, and in the long term, it's more a tool of social control.
I love the prayer before the battle that the 54th does. That hit me deep
100% agree. Fantastic film. I cry every single time I see it.
Great scene and even better movie. Awesome sound track. Very moving.
One of the greatest movies of all time, incredible score and a great cast. Glad schools still show this movie in class.
Glory is my favorite war movie. I remember seeing it in the theater w my dad back when it came out. I was like 10. I remember being confused at the end that the good guys didn’t win. You mentioned Morgan freeman, and Denzel, but also Andre braugher is standing next to Denzel. 30 years later and I still get teary eyed watching this scene lol.
One of the best scenes in any movie. What makes it so powerful is that the soldiers knew they were marching toward likely death; yet, still marched on to fight.
Remember when i watched this for the first time it sent me on a research craze for the rest of the night.
Hello from a fellow Northeast Ohioan! “Glory” changed my life in amazing ways and set me on a path to study of black Antebellum and Civil War history since I first saw this movie in 1990. Thanks for posting this!
One of my all time favorites as well. Have the DVD on my shelf and pick it up from time to time.
Great content as usual Chris. 👍
This scene always gets me in the feels. The first time I saw Glory, I read about the 54th Mass. in History class several weeks before, so I knew what was going to happen to them so I was a total mess during this scene...
I agree best Civil War movie out there. If this doesn’t give you chills and immense pride in those men, I don’t know what will
Magnificent cast in this movie. One of my very favorite movies of all time.
That scene always sends chills up my spine
Its a hard movie to watch but its such a masterpiece. I saw it back in the day and have seen it several times since. I particularly love the scene where they sing beside the fire on the night before the battle as well. War is horrible but the humanity during those moments are also memorable.
I saw this in 9th grade U S history class. I ended up doing my research paper on the Black regiments. I learned a lot.
I always liked when the troops were singing prayers before the battle of FT Wagner, along with when RGS volunteers them to lead the charge. You can feel the emotions that Matthew Broderick is displaying with the nervousness and foreboding in his voice.
My first ever war movie as a kid immediately fell in love with this story.
Without a doubt this was my favorite scene in the whole movie . It showed the final expression of respect the 54th earned and then received from those who denounced , mocked and spit on them on their last encounter . Very riveting and emotionally cleansing ! Last time I felt this emotional was when I saw Curley look into Moe Howards eyes and utter " NUK NUK NUK " . I cried like a baby and pissed my pants ! That's the power of film !
Glory is probably one of my favourite war films and have been watching it constantly recently. 🪖🤵🏿♂️🇺🇸🇺🇸
When I saw this scene and rest of the lead up to the attack, I openly wept; and I wasn’t the only one.
Powerful scene. The soldiers marching towards almost certain death and finally get a short lived but much deserved validation and respect.
I like the scene of Freeman striking Denzel's character, talking sense to him, and later Denzel (Tripp) talking to Shaw.
The regiment is re-activated in MA? Man, that's fire!
We're at 102k already haha, great to see. Thanks for posting!
Just seeing this reaction. Had to mention the recently passed Andre Braugher is also part of this cast. It was his first movie.
Love these reactions you do with historical work, and happy to see you pass 100K! I'd love to hear your opinions on the movie Red Tails, about the Tuskegee Airmen. Their story is one of my favorites from WW2.
How can you talk about Glory with out mentioning the Score/Soundtrack, just listening to that clip I got goosebumps. Great Movie. And a shout out to Andre Braugher's acting as well as Denzel's and Matthew's.
What a magnificent cast this movie has. Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Andre Braugher, Matthew Broderick and Cary Elwes.
As a non American the US civil war isn't a particular interest of mine but it's a movie that I really want to get around to seeing.
When he say, Give em hell 54th....that music cam in and it was tear-jerking.
Great American Civil War movie. I still like Gettysburg more. But Glory is definitely up there with such great actors and literally catapulted Denzel acting career. I wish they showed Antietam in the beginning more. And also wished Fort Wagner was still there at James Island near Charleston, SC
Thanks!
I somehow never noticed this video! Brilliant movie. And what a cast
Good video
I think Glory is/was such an underrated movie. The ACW is my favourite topic from US history but getting information about it here in Germany is not that easy, especially in the pre-Internet age (I was born in 1981). I watched this movie first when I was still rather young and the most important thing it taught me was that the war was not simply racists fighting non-racists.
Meet too watched this movie when I was 13, loved it.
This is one of my best civil war movies
This is by far my favorite of the civil war movies.
love this movie too- the amount of bravery they possessed omg- i dont think i could be as brave
glorious music throughout the movie.
In one day you got 2k subs that is unbelievable
Don't forget Andre Braugher from "Homicide" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is in this movie too. He played Robert Gould Shaw's friend who was having difficulty adjusting to Military Life.
I really dig your videos! I'm from North East Ohio and have always loved studying the American Civil War. Keep it up!
I first saw this movie in 7th grade and I thought it was amazing!! Such a tremendous historical movie. Great performances and most of all, a terrific score from the late James Horner RiP
James Horner RIP and cant forget the Harlem Boys Choir who disbanded in the late 90's. The music from this movie is truly timeless
My favorite historic movie scene was in The Right Stuff. It's at the end when Chuck Yeagher had to bail out of a plane for the first time and walks away from the crash grinning. The ambulance driver asks Jack Ridley (who had died by that time in reality) if the figure in the distance is a man. Ridley replies, "You're damn right it is."
Matthew Broderick's finest role!
YES!!! I love this movie!!!
Absolutely great movie
There’s two 55th Mass. Veterans in my local cemetery in Emporia, KS. Very cool to think after their service they pioneered out in KS.
The 54th was not the only regiment to attack Battery Wagner. The movie seems to hint at this as other units would follow up if the 54th took the parapet. But on Wikipedia this is what is listed (the Union had over 1515 killed, wounded or captured) " The 54th Massachusetts, an infantry regiment composed of African-American soldiers led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, led the Union attack at dusk. They were backed by two brigades composed of nine regiments. The first brigade was commanded by Gen. George Crockett Strong and was composed of the 54th Massachusetts, 6th Connecticut, 48th New York, 3rd New Hampshire, 76th Pennsylvania, and the 9th Maine regiments. The second brigade was commanded by Col. Haldimand S. Putnam of the 7th New Hampshire as acting brigade commander. His brigade consisted of the 7th New Hampshire, 62nd Ohio, 67th Ohio, and the 100th New York regiments. A third brigade under Gen. Stevenson was in reserve, with General Truman Seymour commanding on the field, but did not enter action."
The movie doesn't just hint at this, it flat out states that there were units following up the 54th and that they also suffered heavy casualties.
@@VloggingThroughHistory Just saying they suffered heavy casualties still seems to make the 54th not only the heroes and the martyrs. Most the other Union units also broke over the walls troops and suffered major casualties. (I think 1515 (with perhaps 800 Union dead) casualties is extreme and the 54th suffered 121: 30 KIA, 24 died of wounds, 15 captured, and 52 missing. I have not found a total wounded). I have always loved the movie Glory but we have to realize that the 54th was not the first African American unit to fight. Here in Kansas we are extremely proud of the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry which had fought in four battles before the assault on Battery Wagner by the 54th.
many excellent performances in this film. I think Matthew Broderick gave his best performance in this.
Great movie!! Some fantastic acting. I’ve always loved Matthew Broderick and Morgan Freeman! Great take on it. I think you should do a reaction to - scene from Apollo 13! I’d love a series that focuses maybe more on space history and NASA and the space race of the 50’s and 60’s.
Bro nice fresh cut my guy
"In wisper" sabaton came out with new song and vid
My favorite movie!!
You shouldve reacted to the scene where they charge the fort. The music is excellent.
Can you please do the kongens nei blucher scene soon? I rlly love ur videos and if i have hard tests at school i just check out your content (i am sorry if my english isnt so good
Your English is very good! And yes, I will be looking at that fantastic scene at some point.
Totally agree with you it is a very good movie
I used to read from a presentation copy of "Recollections and Experiences of an Abolitionist," (1875) by Alexander Milton Ross at Boston Public Library that was owned by William Lloyd Garrison. Ross was my great grandmother's uncle Sandy. In this edition he states that he had been sent across enemy lines to negotiate for fair treatment for exslave POWs in the Union army. I believe this is mentioned in the movie. He used his network of contacts along the underground railroad to trace a rebel mail carrier traveling to Canada and saboteurs entering New Brunswick from Maine. He had powers of arrest as a Canadian government official, and in was in direct contact with Abraham Lincoln. This book, and "Memoirs of a Reformer"(1893) have been reprinted in paperback and used in black history classes.
Just the name 'Glory' gives me goosebumps.
As a former soldier myself i never understood how this kind of attitude could be. However i forgot that men like this paved the way for us to fight and die as brothers.
respect.
So are you gonna do the best and most accurate history movie next? Braveheart. ;)
I love glory it’s the only C W movie i have watched and the end battle when they are about to storm the fort is great, but the end chocked me, i didn’t expect it, I thought it would end a little happier like saving privet Ryan, but Hollywood movies isnt real life.
Great scene, but I would have added the portion of Shaw at the shore, along with his troops, confront the horror and the terror those men must have felt facing almost certain death, and yet moving forward, despite their fear.
Never thought I could take Mathew Broderick seriously as a military commander. Great great movie.
Love that scene but love the scene right after when Shaw is starring out into the Ocean
its the film which got me into the civil war, Great actors helped its free on you tube but its only about 25% size. great info on the script writer
Will the logo competition be over today? :0
Strong radio voice.
I saw that movie a long time ago.
I would love if you would cover the scene which covers the burning of Darien and do an honest analysis of that.
My ancestor was a sgt I think in the 8th Illinois and wounded at brandy wine so he missed Gettysburg but returned after. My other ancestor I know of was a officer in the 55th Massachusetts. I know I had many ancestors who served on both sides but don’t know much about them
Ik I’m a little late to this video but my current professor for my American Military Culture, and US at War class was an extra in this movie, along with 13 of his black students, thought I’d share
Cold Mountain - Battle of the Crater up next?
And the colonel happens to be my great great great uncle on my mother’s side through her line history
good reaction.. they want respect like you say.. talking about yourself for 4 minutes.. give them 1 min and 15 sec then interrupt.. but yeah your are good.. lets go with engagement!
I loved Glory. I can not understand why there was a follow on force or marines, from the sea, assisting in the attack. Does anyone know where there is more information on this battle, I found very little about it.
Haven't clicked so fast in a longgg time😅
A long time
it is one of my favorit movies of all time,I can sit and watch it over and over again, they are finally on equal footing with the other Union Regiments
Dont how you feel about God's and Generals but Stonewall Jackson flanking Maneuver is one my favorites a mixture of Terrifying and Awe inspiring
I saw this movie as a young kid so many times, I do however find it hard to watch now, in particular the hospital scene. Just gets to me
Robert Gould Shaw is a fascinating human
It might be age restricted but I would love to see you react to D day from saving private Ryan
Love this scene, made better knowing that it was the enlisted man who started it. not the "educated gentlemen officers"
I find myself yelling at the men in the last scene when the 54th has made their breach of the walls and are fighting and running along. I keep telling them to stop and consolidate, wait for the reinforcements...but they always run into those two canister shot cannons. :(
When the white corporal suddenly realises what these brave men are going to do against ridiculous odds and shows respect for his follow soldiers and the others join in. Brings a tear to my eye every time
Have you ever watched midway? It’s a really good movie, if you have watched it please make a video on it :)
My buddy was an extra in this movie.
I'm late to the game here, but I recommend this scene - czcams.com/video/Dp_DnZkoVNY/video.html - from a little movie called The Straight Story. It's just 2 veterans talking about their WWI experiences, but the writing and acting is just incredible! Scene in question starts at about 4:10.
God, My Man, Velvet Thunder and Ferris Bueller march onto the battlefield
No mention of the future Captain of the 99th NYPD precinct marching next to Denzel :(
Andre Braugher!
Marching next to the Executive Officer of the SSBN USS Alabama.

I have the diary my Great-Great Grandfather wrote during his service in the Civil war. He was at the Battle of Fort Wagner and wrote about the assault of the 54th Mass. Sadly as a sign of the times he referred to the 54th Mass as "The N-word Regiment" but he did give them high praise in their fighting adn the bravery of the 54th Mass. The diary was an interesting read covering his enlistment in Connecticut through his discharge. I found it very odd that he volunteered as an abolishionist to "Free the Slaves" but invariably uses the N-word to refer to African Americans.
Shaw giving over his personal effects really occurred which is depicted right after the scene.
You can see his diary and letters at the Harvard library.
The biggest issue I have with the movie is the fictional portrayal of Shaw, a devoted abolitionist, having Denzel Washington whipped. It never occurred.
I loves the 54th😊
Have you ever seen the movie Free State of Jones if you haven’t I highly recommend it. It’s very good
