Thomas is also a friend of Forbes and Shaw, who grew up with them. Also, getting proper rations and equal pay don't help the situation. It is then when Shaw flexes his leadership muscle and pulls in a few favors to get them to battle. Glory is not a happy movie, but one of the better, if not the best movies about the Civil War that I've ever seen. Truly one not to be missed.
Some scenes appear grainy, but they are supposed to.
A great picture. Directional effects are in almost every scene, and the battle scenes sound next to awesome. Dialogue is also clear and clean. I don't count foreign language tracks or subtitles as extras, although this has both. Actually all you get is a trailer, but it's good.
