- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2023Glory is a movie that dates from 1990. It tells the true story of the 54th Massachusetts regiment. The first black troops to fight in offensive action for the North during the American civil war.
It focuses as much on the men of the regiment as it does their leader. Robert Shaw. Played by Matthew Broderick, in far and away the best role he ever got, and which should have opened the door for more mature stuff. Shaw is a young man with well to do parents who believes in the cause. And wants to lead. He grows into the job of regimental commander, learning leadership along the way. Occasionally butting heads with his second in command {Cary Elwes].
The score and narration from Matthew Broderick, reading actual letters written by Shaw which still survive, are pretty emotional stuff at times. And do make you feel you're looking at history as it was.
Of the black characters, principal ones are played by Denzel Washington. Morgan Freeman. And Andre Braugher. All make an impression in very solid roles with characters who grab. All three of whom are different people with their own attitude to what is going on. They all get solid character arcs. You get to watch their experience in their struggles to get what they want and need to be taken seriously as soldiers.
This is all very engrossing stuff as it goes along. It also doesn't skimp on showing the confusion and the bloodshed and horror of conflict. The first moment of will stay with you for a while after being seen.
But nothing will prepare you for the final act of the film. As the 54th get to go into combat. In a frontal assault on a fault. Emotion and music and realistically staged spectacle combine here for a stunning finish that you won't be able to take your eyes off for a second.
The ending concludes the story. Of the characters you're gone on a movie journey with. And then a single on screen bit of writing rounds it off as it should.
War. Character. Leadership. History. All combine to make a powerful movie experience. And a classic of it's field. Has to be seen. You won't forget it when you do.
The dvd version is a pretty old release, so it doesn't even have subtitles.
It does have some extras:
The true story of Glory continues. A forty five min documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman. Giving a brief overview of the history the film covers. And what happened next. This is essential viewing. It's fascinating stuff.
Glory the Making of History. Twenty mins of Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick, and director Edward Zwick talking about key moments in the project and the movie itself. Very interesting to listen to. Essential viewing.
Voice of Glory. Although from 1990 this is more like a modern dvd extra. An eight min overview of the film with sound bites from cast and crew. Not as essential as the above two features.
Director's commentary on the movie.
Deleted scenes. Two scenes. You can only watch one after the other. They run for six mins added together. Both are really good, although the sound is a bit weak at points and I did struggle to hear some of the dialogue in them.
Isolated score. Watch it with the score alone.
Theatrical trailers. Trailers for the totally unrelated movies Devil in a Blue Dress and the Bone Collector.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 September 2024Entertaining film.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2024A very good film about the 54th Massachusetts regiment during the US Civil War, starring Matt Broderick, Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman.
It's based on the true story of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, the first black regiment formed to take part in the US Civil War in the 1860s.
The film covers the period from the formation of the regiment to their involvement in the battle to take Fort Wagner, where they sustained very heavy losses.
It was after that battle that President Lincoln authorised the formation of more regiments of black soldiers to take part in the US Civil War.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2007Having recently watched Gods & Generals and Gettysburg its' sequel, every so often a really "special" film comes along and for me this is it - the true story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the first Black regiment to fight for the Union side against the Confederacy of the Southern States. Matthew Broderick plays the charismatic Robert Gould Shaw from a Bostonian family of abolitionists who rises to the rank of Colonel, who sees the racism against the black men who are even initially denied proper footwear, uniforms and arms because their role is seen more as that of labourers than fighting men. He also sees the crimes of theft by his superiors. Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman play 2 of the enlisted men. Washingtons attempt to find himself some boots at a nearby farm result in him being whipped for desertion.Washington hates almost everyone,accusing his fellow blacks of being cheap Confederate targets when they initially accept an offer of less wages ($10pm)from the War Department instead of the $13 that had originally been offered and agreed to for all soldiers, Black or White. At this the Colonel declines to accept wages for everyone, officers included.Colonel Shaw has to blackmail a Battalion Commander into using the 54th in actual fighting and they bloody their noses at James Island but not without losses. Morgan Freeman who plays the much more sensible,older man role to which he has been accustomed lectures Washington on his hot-headed ways and at last appears to make Washington realise where he has gone wrong and to channel any hatred he has against the enemy not his fellows. Col.Shaw who is ably supported by a child-hood friend Maj.Cabot Forbes (Cary Elwes)volunteers his regiment to lead the attack on an impenetrable Fort Wagner, knowing that it is almost certainly a suicide mission and that none will survive. This gains the 54th the respect of the General in charge of the Battle of Fort Wagner and all other troops. Unusually for such a senior officer Colonel Shaw not only leads his men from the front but also does so on foot. This movie which is brilliantly directed by Edward Zwick and produced by Freddie Fields "enlists" thousands of Civil War re-enacters to carry it off, and James Horner adds a wonderfully haunting musical score.It contains moments of comedy,pride,brutality,discrimination.humility,tear-jerking truthfullness and much more.A truly exceptional film.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2024I really like this film and have seen it several times since watching in the cinema. This time I was joined by my 2 sons (20 & 24 respectively) and was very pleased to see the found this film enlightening, as well as entertaining despite the very grim subject at times. Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and Matthew Broderick all delivers excellent performances, as does the very fine supporting cast. If you are not familiar with this film. You ought to treat yourself. The Blu-ray version was a real improvement on my old DVD.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 20241st class product and service
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2024Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman headline a fantastic cast who portray the first all Black Company of Union Soldiers in the American Civil War, with Matthew Broderick playing their young Commanding Officer. Uplifting but ultimately tragic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad review...
The movie is a VHS so I understand that the quality may not be the best. Plus I only paid $5 for it, but, the video doesn't work. It sounds like a chipmunk so I really couldn't watch the video. I ended up purchasing another one- DVD. Not sure if they made sure if the video worked before sending it. I tried it in three different VCR's and none of them worked.
