Into the mouth of Hell they charge. Glory the only gain.

Glory is a 1989 war drama film, directed by Edward Zwick and featuring an ensemble cast including Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes, Morgan Freeman, and Andre Braugher.

It is based on the true story of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry of the Union Army during The American Civil War, as told from the point of view of its commanding officer, Robert Gould Shaw (Broderick). The 54th was one of the first formal units of the U.S. Army to be made up entirely of African-American men (apart from the officers).

This film provides examples of:

• Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Inverted, actually. There's only three battles featured, though the training scenes keep the movie from getting too quiet.
• Action Prologue: The film opens with Shaw's participation in the Battle of Antietam. And boy, is it frenzied.
• A Father to His Men: Col. Shaw, who was probably the first white man to treat much of the 54th as equals in their entire lives. During their assault on Fort Wagner, he leads the charge with his men following behind.

  Summary/Review:

  Glory was the first major motion picture to depict African American men fighting in the American Civil War.  I remember seeing it when it first came out at a theater in Washington, DC while visiting my sister at college.  I’ll always remember during the Battle of James Island scene that a Black man sitting behind us openly cheering for the 54th Regiment: “Get, him!  Yes!
