steelers-15892 The movie overall was one of the better civil war movies I have seen. The movie shows the hardships the Massachusetts 54th regiment faced which included the discrimination of the regiment and the hard fought battles. The movie does a particularly good job of connecting the viewer with all of the soldiers and not just the stars featured in this film. I would suggest this movie to someone who likes war movies.

jennaguarinocc Glory allows people to develop an understanding of the issues of the time. The men of the 54th regiment have dealt with slavery, sacrifice and the fight for freedom and respect. It is exciting to watch the growth of the characters throughout the movie. Two examples of characters that showed significant growth are Shaw and Trip. Robert Shaw begins as a captain in the Battle of Antietam who has trouble handling the outcomes of war. By the end, Shaw has advanced to colonel of the 54th massachusetts infantry who is willing to do anything for his men both in and out of battle. Trip starts off as a bitter runaway slave, who through the help of Robert, Rawlins and others, later learns to open up to his fellow soldiers and be a true leader for all. The strength and courage of the 54th regiment allowed them to overcome previous stereotypes and earn the respect of many. This movie is a great representation of the historical events that formed our nation and I would highly recommend it.
