Red Badge of Courage Trailer

The Red Badge Of Gayness'

[mongoose4j]

Love the book, I need to watch the movie!

[iracordem]

ok, john wayne WAS around before murphy... but murphy truly lived the heroism and was still the largest of the western screen stars.

[iracordem]

what a great scene when the ohioans meet the tennessee rebs.

this film has a wonderful effect of feeling like you are constantly on the move, which is how these soldiers truly lived.

also, everyone loves john wayne and eastwood and the turner films but have forgotten the true greatness of audie murphy. he was the daddy of wayne and eastwood and all the rest who came after.

[MasonDisawesome]

Isn't the youth Henry Flemming..........

[TheHeardHouse]

Fidelity,

Get the cliff notes if you need help...

[TheHeardHouse]

No Jokes this time Poet?

Because everyone is looking at it...

[TheHeardHouse]

Poet,

At the end of the day, the only way your manage your perception of courage...

The real thing about this period was that the brothers fighting brothers, not sucking votes at the UN, all wrote to their widows when they were mortally wounded that they be remembered as men, because the very worst thing in life in a normal society was leaving this world as a disgusting little bitch, especially with the blood of your own innocent people so you didn't look that way.

[pokie4life]

i loved the Great Illustrated Classics version of the book! Henery Fleming was so bave!

[croydel]

i managed to get hold of the 1970's version starring 'richard thomas' [of the waltons fame] could only get it on vhs video copy from america [i live in the england].it isnt as good as the audie murphy version which think is a classic...allways been fasinated by the acw...

[RawheadRex72]

Slavery was abolished in the British Empire long before it was ended in the US. If any history teacher tries to you that the Civil War wasn't caused by human trafficing, they are either incompent or else liars.

[40AcreMule]

@RawheadRex72 The Civil War was caused by many factors, not just slavery. Yes, slavery was one of the issues, but if you imply it was the only reason you place yourself in the same category with the incompetents and liars. Read the words the soldiers left behind. The majority were offended by the idea that they were fighting either for or against slavery.

[Exfire27]

wtf is this shit no color wtf

[YetAnotherUrMomJoke]

@Exfire27 Noob.

[Bestmanme08]

Google "Arthur Reed" and "Miles Reed" and see about black confederates!

[french7chic]

why did i pick this book?

[wojack1000]

Probably the greatest war movie ever made.

[Curas1]

Oh yeah birth of a nation, that was a great Hahahaha

[Jubilo1]

A great film to commemorate memorial Day!

[HoS777]

I still haven't seen this. I need to; Mauldin is my grandfather, everyone else in my family has seen it. 8X

[MeriiKiyo]

No way! Love his cartoons

[progressiverebel]

its kinda ironic that Murphy a Texas boy

end up playing a Union soldier. Murphy was so brave that he had problems in his movies playing scared. He was one tough Texan

[kvn8907]

This book was just assigned in my War Literature class. I was thinking of Torrenting the movie, but remembered that I'm on strike 2 of 3 for filesharing at college, so I looked it up and saw there's a...ugh...VHS in the library. I'll probably watch that if I get the chance. Better than tempting fate with a download.

[biggrigga]

@kvn8907 man that's fucked : getting in trouble for file sharing ....fascists

[kvn8907]

@biggrigga Actually, I'd say the strange thing is that so few ISPs are that tight. I could download pretty much anything on my home computer and never get caught, but they're watching the college one.

[kvn8907]

@kvn8907 Also, I wrote a Livejournal about how much I hated my roommate and wanted to kill him (I didn't really, and was just venting), and a few days later the college human resources department called me down, and forced me to leave the room. I'm still not sure how the heck they read the post, but they must be tracking keywords. But they just put me in my own room for the rest of the semester, and I just paid a little extra in later semesters for a single room, so it worked out.

[Enjoi4659]

this is one of the best movies about the war ever made

[blythewoodbaseball]

i just read the book, its not that bad even tho sometimes it gets boring

[MaxHelso]

I had to freaking read this in 1 day...Thankfully i had audiobook and the book to follow along.. and gradesaver for the summary and setting, etc.

Althought it took me 7 hours...

[Tubbsiii]

I had to read the book over summer...its actually pretty good

[sellblock1138]

you know people say that Saving Private Rian is very acurate to the real thing. well, this too is one of the most acurate movies of what these soliders felt and acted, its really interesting

[jam5bryce]

There was a good remake of this movie in the 70's that stared Richard Thomas from the Walton's T.V series.

[sellblock1138]

really? can you get it on the internet?

I just saw the 50s one. They should make an EPIC remake of this movie with all the special effects today it could totaly work!

[kvn8907]

I looked it up on the internet. There's so little information on the 1974 version that it practically doesn't exist.

[progressiverebel]

@kvn8907 . its with John Boy from the Waltons as I remember and its pretty good. I am sure its out there some where.

[kvn8907]

Saw it at the library.

Was surprised that Andy Devine was in it.

Would rate 6 out of 10.

[SpriteX5000]

The trailer is better than the movie.

[Happy2BNRoundRock]

For those of you not familiar with Bill Mauldin, he is the cartoonist that created 'Willie and Joe' characters for Stars and Stripes during WW2. Seeing him in this was a treat. His cartoons had a tendency to upset officers, especially Patton. (Patton supposedly chewed out Mauldin for a cartoon, then Eseinhower chewed out Patton) If any of you get the chance, go to the 45th Inf Div museum in okla city, okla and see the original drawings. RIP Audie Murphy and Bill Mauldin!

[DonMeaker]

Mauldin met with Patton, and he was in a room with Patton and Willie.."4 of the meanest eyes I ever saw..."

[Jubilo1]

Thnaks for posting this. It's superb !

[Rioru202]

Friday was my first day of high school and they told me to do a report on this book

[redfan45x]

i want to see this all thats on youtube is dumb 8th grade english projects

[EcHOHeAdSh0T]

@redfan45x Nope. 8th grade History project

[panurge63]

I remember this film from when i was just a kid...John Dierkes' death scene scared the hell out of me. A harrowing, brilliant scene!

[Rocafile]

I wanna see that movie

[Jubilo1]

An incredible cast ! Every part well played .

[rddr66]

Although the movie was good, the uniform is historically inaccurate. The crossed rifle infantry insignia on the hat wasn't used until 1875. During the Civil War, infantry insignia was a curved horn.

[wallboi7]

impressive research- but if your focus is on the mere accuracies of the wardrobe, then the message is lost on you- you obviously know the war well though.

[etahasgard1986]

thats my kinda comment

[40AcreMule]

I know reenactors who hate this movie because the uniforms and weapons are all wrong. But the dialouge is superb.  If they tried to sound like the actors in this movie it would improve their first-person impressions vastly.

[jolyjacktar]

A lot of reenactors are both too obese and/or too old to accurately portray civil war era soldiers. Despite the inaccuracies the actors in the movie look a lot more like real soldiers than 50% of the reenactors I've met. I mean who ever saw a 300lb. Confederate or 50+ year old private and I've seen some at reenactments.

[sellblock1138]

ha ha nice!

well me and a lot of my friends do reenactments now. were both 16 so we kinda fit the bill, the only problem is hes on the confederate side!
