Glory - Movie: 54th Mass Reg't Starts Assault on Ft. Wagner

This is one of the greatest films I have ever seen.

The Battle of Antietam scene is also one of the best recreated battle scenes! better then gettysburg, better then the garabage petersburg scene in cold mountain. the only movie that comes close to glory is gods and generals. ww2 has nothing on the civil war so the saving pvt ryan crap is out of the picture. if you want ww2, band of brothers is what people needs to see. patton is to long and just enhances his ego that he never deserved.

Except that I didn't know the sun set in the east. Unless it was morning but they are on the east coast so the ocean is in the east also.

fort wagner is located on a peninsula on the western part of charleston. the union navy really couldn't get into charleston without taking a heavy toll. what the movie didn't tell us is there were 5 other regiments that followed right after the 54th had gone in. general strong died from the wounds he received during the fighting. but to change it up a little another movie that talks about the 54th is andersonville.

by far the best movie that tells a story about anything dealing with the civil war. and as for the idiot that said that shaws body was returned, shut the hell up and brush up on your history. Frank Shaw wrote: 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!

i defy anyone to say they didnt get choked up at the 1:52 mark.
Give em hell 54th

Great movie with a unforgetable score by James Horner...

.................uhh, no...........

Shaw's body was actually thrown in the mass grave (with his troops), as it was a sign of disrespect from the confederates

there was a proposition to dig up his body, but his father said he was proud that his son was buried with his men

That's the type of thing a hard man would shed a tear for.
