All of you guys from south and north shut up. we're all Americans here so stop fighting. It's the thing of the past and we need to work together again. We're Americans not Yankees of Confederates.
The ending is funny but horrible at the same time. They have all the momentum in the world, and then it was like gotcha bitch with the confederate guns. But its okay, the, north won the war.
As a European I've always wondered about the high esteem that the Confederacy is still held in, especially in the South. Seems a tad odd to idolize traitors and rebels.
As for those of you who say if the south had one the USA would not have gone to war...While I have no doubt that Roosevelt and many others wanted a reason to get into the war, it was still the Japanese who attacked us first. Do you truly think that we would have just let that slide even if there was a USA and a CSA? More than likely the USA and CSA would have mended much and been trade partners. So would have raised arms when either came under attack.
At 0:15 I'll the 54th's last thought was "Oh Shit". Facing down two cannons and rifles going off simultaneously knowing you have no chance, you'd say "Oh Shit" too
Ohh,of course, not! Americans fight for their president and for their capitalistic system,for their banks and for profit...nothing more. The other shit is just what they tell you, so that you believe, this was "glory".
What a senseless slaughtering of humans! Only stupid Americans can call this horrific charge "Glory"!!! Every intelligent General would call it a terrible waste of man!
@TheTarget1980 Are you really that ignorant? War by any means is an atrocity. All wars include the butchering of human beings and Americans are not the only ones who have been in wars. The French Revolution, was more a civil war than a revolution. It was french butchering french to be free of their monarchy. Whatever nationatlity you are, I am sure your nation at some point in it's history has had a war. Some wars are neccesary, some are meaningless. But they are all tragic and atrocious.
South of Ohio (Ohio was the Grand Central Station of the Under Ground Railroad) and West to Missouri were considered the South. North and East of that was considered the Union.
We're watching this in my US History class && we did'nt get to see the ending, && I waz really hoping Col. Shaw would'nt of got killed, but he did!! :((
@SpringHiller09 well the southern soldiers saw it as a disgrace to put him with his men, but Shaw's family thanked them for doing so which is really a slap in the face to the south. great movie. love the southern US, but this period of time it was so ignorant.
I can still remember my shock & sadness when I realised that the soldier that was being tossed into the ditch was Matt Broderick's character.It hit home:neither he or his men survived the battle.A truly haunting ending.
A little known fact, Colonel Shaw was married. Southerners AND Northerners with all due respect, shut up and sit down. They all fought for what they believed in, honor that. If nothing else. Wait for the clock for twenty minets, at the twenty minet mark, THOUSANDS soldiers died in ONE battle of the war. Talk about dedication.
I agree, as a descendant of a Confederate soldier I have respect for the soldiers of both sides, they were Americans and I respect the Confederate flag as dearly as I do the flag of the United States of America, both were carried by Americans who shed their blood. That war is over, no need to try and re-fight it (Southerners) or re-win it (Northerners).
"We would not have his body removed from where it lies surrounded by his brave and devoted soldiers [...] We can imagine no holier place than that in which he lies, among his brave and devoted followers, nor wish for him better company – what a body-guard he has!
(Frank Shaw, Roberts father on attempts to recover the Colonels body)
if the south won we'd just go to war again eventually anyway. seccesion wouldn't be the end of it the north would come again no doubt. I think the south would have taken the allies side in ww1 but definately the axis side in ww2. its interesnting to think about.
Have you heard of a series of novel by Harry Turtledove about that idea. Might enjoy reading them, first titled "How Few Remain". Course in the series the North stayed with German and the South with England and France in both wars, however there was no Hitler comeing to power.
as an american living in the south i have to laugh at idiotic comments. you should be glad the south lost. we never would have made it through WWI let alone WWII if the south won. there would be no CSA or USA. we would be more of a communist socialist country worse off than we are now.
@warsavior82; Some basic history shows us that we would have made it through WWI. It was solely a European war, and in fact, US involvement, along with French and British butchering of Germany's economy made Germany's population vulnerable to the likes of Hitler.
I would go so far as to say that if the CSA would have won, the US may not have gotten involved in WWI, and therefore WWII would not have happened.
@warsavior82 If anything, we're alot closer to resembling a communist country now than we were before 1865. And you can thank good ol' Abe Lincoln for that.
@warsavior82 Somehow I don't think that we'd be socialist or communist. The Usa would have most logically stayed the way it was, and the CSA would have either died off or been pressued on a world stage to stop slavery. I fthey hadn't rejoined the UNion at this point, then htere would be two, democraticly rulesd governmetns. The CSA would probably have reigned over the former slaves asthey did in the reconstruction, but this would also probably diminish as time went onwards.
@warsavior82 Wrong, we never would have got in the first world war like the imperial states of america, and there never would have been a second war but for needless american intervention in the first world war, which made the world safe for hitler and stalin, not democracy.
It makes it more personal, and he's putting himselves as equal with his men. Those are the types of Generals and leaders I would "Charge hell itself for" :)
The north had wayyy more men and much more in the way of supplies, but they underestimated the souths fighting skill and shot accuracy and the superior tactics, hence why the war went on so long. It just turned out that given all of the blockades and dwindling supplies, the south just ran out of resources to use for war. Though, this fort was never taken despite that.
They buried colonel shaw with his men because they thought it would be an insult as they usually wouldnt do that with white officers. HIs mother and father said it wouldnt have been an insult because he was proud to have led those men and thats how he would have liked to have been buried
A salute to our fallen. I can only hope to fully pay homage to you all. Race, creed, gender aside. My life is predicated on this display of courage. Although it be a pictorial over-dramatized film, I know from formal education that reality fell not far from this movie.
@ShieldWall76 No I got it the first time. I just wanted to see how much attention you wanted to give this nigger. Well, thanks a lot. Great talking to you. =)
@18izzo ..... thats funny i dont see us being slave owners ... and yes some people here are racist and in my opinion i think they should be shot for it
I saw this movie for the 1st time in 6th grade for Social Studies class. Shit was so epic and it really made you want to learn more about the history of our country. Movies like this always maker me want to man up and join the armed forces and fight for the freedom of everyone who is opressed!
The South were a bunch of campers, hiding behind that dang trench, what a bunch of noobs. "Long live the union and the nation to be together in eternity."
it might seem that southerners are still like that, but even if they are, even if they aren't, and even if they were, this war should have never happened. this country is great because it finally passed all that tragedy, not because of WWI or II or even vietnam, they all true sacrifice, but it's perhaps brother against brother what got the best of the us.
CrzyJ1984... this is fucking true. I'm a 29 hispanic man, but even so, these people made better for all of us. God bless them all... for you, for me, for everyone.... true sacrifice..
@CardinalsLoveToSuck with a fort that has been bombed for 3 days and that much resistance is left and it has 360 degree sight of you many troops rock buildings tunnels down into the earth...the fort had no other way of being attacked it would have taken 100s of thousands of troops literaly even starving them didnt work they countertattacked
we watched this movie in our GA history class. this movie really did open my eyes to the horrors of the Civil War and it really touches me, as a person, to know that these men would go to war and not be afraid. They knew that this was much bigger than themseves and kept going! They died so horribly and they deserve to be remembered and honored. God Bless America! (PS- did thomas and the happy guy die? the who said "we ready c-c-colonel"? they were my favorite...did they die?)
@halo8231 No, the 54th lost 40% of their men, i mean not all of the guys charging the fort would keep trying to be on the offensive it if all their guys around them were dying. Many retreated then the white regiment came in after suffering heavy casualties aswell. It was a badly planned attack, they should of just attacked with full force with both regiments and the force that got taken out the previous week to this assault.
Just to tell everyone, this was based on a true story. The 54th was real and Shaw was real. I don't know about the other characters, but if you don't believe me, look it up for yourself.
They actually did a good job of standing up to the Union, which is surprising considering the Union had all sorts of advantages. Of course, the Rebs were doomed to fail anyway, what with their backwards thinking and desire to inbreed and such. Webbed hands and banjo-playiing prowess do not win wars.
Screw the Confederacy. The fact that there are idiots today that proudly sport the Confederate flag on their trucks, trailers, etc. makes me sick. The Confederates turned their back on America.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
We should have won that war...the only thing that stopped us from achieving that goal was Gettysburg when Lee ordered Pickette to charge the center of the Union lines, across nearly a mile of open ground and up the ridge. It was a massacre. :( we came so close....so close.
In my opinion South would win if they had more troops. As good as the South soldiers were, they were simply outnumbered, and as the troops got tired, Union just kept sending more in. Just got overpowered. War shouldn't have happened in the first place.
Are you kidding? Pay attention in class next time....Lee ordered Pickett to charge the center of the Union lines, resulting in over 15,000 casualties, which ultimately ruined the South's chance at a solid victory in the north :( Had it been successful however, we would have had the aid of the British, which would have won us the war :D
I heard it in school but it would've been sad if they failed there mission. They did what they had to. I admit, there deaths were depressing and yes. I would like to go back in time to give them a hand shake and tell them that they are amazing people.
It's not really sad it's true this movie always makes me tear and choke up. I'm a 25 year old black guy, and I realize they made a hell of a sacrifice. They didn't die for themselves they died for me, and you. To give us a shot at a better life. It's really deep dying for something bigger than you.
Amen, man. The ending is one of the saddest I have ever seen. I always get choked up too when I watch it. The last shot of Trip resting on Col. Shaw's chest and the background music always gets me. Still one of my favorite movies, though.
@CrzyJ1984 Im a white guy and I love this movie. White people need to understand that with all the persecution, these man died for America and we gave them crap for it.
i still dont' get why they tried to get fort warner? It has no significant importance! Leave that fort alone and the war can still be won. You know what, just surround the fort so they can't get their supplies in and in few months, you get them without losing a single man!
the problem was this was in the middle of the war and the Union's navy wasn't to strong, and most of their ships were blockading New Orleans, and even there about 60% of southern ships still snuck through the blockade somehow. It wouldn't work to blockade it, but you do have a good point, why take it you don't need it to win the war
Well, its worth noting that that Fort helps guard Charleston Harbor, and we needed Charleston to win the war. Eventually Sherman and his Army of the Ohio swept through Georgia and South Carolina demolishing everything, but at this point we didn't yet know he would do his march to the sea and raze a couple states. They needed to take the population centers, and Charleston is where the war began.(first to succession, and first to attack the union)
To me the high death toll goes to show how disgustingly efficient it is to line men up almost face to face and have them battle to the death with bayonets.
Movie-wise, I'm 99.9% they all died. In reality, I believe none of them died because they weren't real people, just characters made up to make the movie more exciting. Some of them, like Cabot Forbes, were composite characters (Cabot was the first name of one of RGS's friends and Forbes was the last name of another friend).
wtf? these were real people all of them the 54th battilion? REAL the men in here like shaw were real people (actors were actors) Denzels character dies and shaw not sure about the rest
8 people are ignorant of histories importance and, therefore, should be the ones who deserve to be in front of those canons in the last scene.

it might seem that southerners are still like that, but even if they are, even if they aren't, and even if they were, this war should have never happened. this country is great because it finally passed all that tragedy, not because of WWI or II or even vietnam, they all true sacrifice, but it's perhaps brother against brother what got the best of the us.

we watched this movie in our GA history class. this movie really did open my eyes to the horrors of the Civil War and it really touches me, as a person, to know that these men would go to war and not be afraid. They knew that this was much bigger than themseves and kept going! They died so horribly and they deserve to be remembered and honored. God Bless America! (PS- did thomas and the happy guy die? the who said "we ready c-c-colonel"? they were my favorite...did they die?)

margott55 1 year ago
@halo8231 No, the 54th lost 40% of their men, i mean not all of the guys charging the fort would keep trying to be on the offensive it if all their guys around them were dying. Many retreated then the white regiment came in after suffering heavy casualties aswell. It was a badly planned attack, they should of just attacked with full force with both regiments and the force that got taken out the previous week to this assault.

The REBS should have killed them all.
KNIGHTCROSS1 1 year ago
They actually did a good job of standing up to the Union, which is surprising considering the Union had all sorts of advantages. Of course, the Rebs were doomed to fail anyway, what with their backwards thinking and desire to inbreed and such. Webbed hands and banjo-playiing prowess do not win wars.
Screw the Confederacy. The fact that there are idiots today that proudly sport the Confederate flag on their trucks, trailers, etc. makes me sick. The Confederates turned their back on America.

We should have won that war...the only thing that stopped us from achieving that goal was Gettysburg when Lee ordered Pickette to charge the center of the Union lines, across nearly a mile of open ground and up the ridge. It was a massacre. :( we came so close....so close.
B1gO 1 year ago
In my opinion South would win if they had more troops. As good as the South soldiers were, they were simply outnumbered, and as the troops got tired, Union just kept sending more in. Just got overpowered. War shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Are you kidding? Pay attention in class next time....Lee ordered Pickett to charge the center of the Union lines, resulting in over 15,000 casualties, which ultimately ruined the South's chance at a solid victory in the north :( Had it been successful however, we would have had the aid of the British, which would have won us the war :D

"This movies sad."
I heard it in school but it would've been sad if they failed there mission. They did what they had to. I admit, there deaths were depressing and yes. I would like to go back in time to give them a hand shake and tell them that they are amazing people.
darkblood780 1 year ago 3
It's not really sad it's true this movie always makes me tear and choke up. I'm a 25 year old black guy, and I realize they made a hell of a sacrifice. They didn't die for themselves they died for me, and you. To give us a shot at a better life. It's really deep dying for something bigger than you.
CrzyJ1984 2 years ago 42
Amen, man. The ending is one of the saddest I have ever seen. I always get choked up too when I watch it. The last shot of Trip resting on Col. Shaw's chest and the background music always gets me. Still one of my favorite movies, though.

i still dont' get why they tried to get fort warner? It has no significant importance! Leave that fort alone and the war can still be won. You know what, just surround the fort so they can't get their supplies in and in few months, you get them without losing a single man!
Quy4life 2 years ago
the problem was this was in the middle of the war and the Union's navy wasn't to strong, and most of their ships were blockading New Orleans, and even there about 60% of southern ships still snuck through the blockade somehow. It wouldn't work to blockade it, but you do have a good point, why take it you don't need it to win the war
Natt15110031 2 years ago
@Natt15110031
Well, its worth noting that that Fort helps guard Charleston Harbor, and we needed Charleston to win the war. Eventually Sherman and his Army of the Ohio swept through Georgia and South Carolina demolishing everything, but at this point we didn't yet know he would do his march to the sea and raze a couple states. They needed to take the population centers, and Charleston is where the war began.(first to succession, and first to attack the union)

To me the high death toll goes to show how disgustingly efficient it is to line men up almost face to face and have them battle to the death with bayonets.

Movie-wise, I'm 99.9% they all died. In reality, I believe none of them died because they weren't real people, just characters made up to make the movie more exciting. Some of them, like Cabot Forbes, were composite characters (Cabot was the first name of one of RGS's friends and Forbes was the last name of another friend).
