Colonel Robert Shaw leads the 54th regiment to create history

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2016)

Glory was an amazing movie. It really got in depth on the cruelness of the civil war. Brave men gave their lives away to fight in a war for freedom. The 54th regiment was a group of black men who had volunteered to fight for the Union. Under the command of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the men were trained harshly at times, but were prepared for war. The fact that these men stayed with the 54th knowing the possible outcomes of death and sacrifice was amazing. They were all brave to fight for not only their freedom, but for the freedom of others. Shaw had well disciplined the men and lead them to a glorious battle to take over a fort in Charleston Harbor. They were not successful but they all fought with courage and bravery, willing to die for their freedoms. Shaw was a great commander and leader and lead his men to the creation of history. Showing that with determination and courage, you can create a powerful bond between soldiers and men. They all fought hard and did all they could. In the end they may have failed but their spirits were left for the name of freedom for all.
There was a perfect amount of action and suspense. The amount of detail in the movie was amazing and all of the actors played their characters as if they were that person. Each personality in the movie fit well with the Civil War time period and the movie was a great watch. The story was not slow and it kept' me engaged and to want to keep watching. Overall a great movie and I would recommend it to all people who love history and civil war movies.
