This movie gets many small details right compared to previous movies i have seen. This is the first of the military movies I have seen in this class where the soldiers actually have to properly load and fire muskets, there were no women present in the hospital scene. It gives a lot of little historical details such as the proclamation of the south in regards to black soldiers and officers of black soldiers. It portrays properly that it did take a significant period of time before the black soldiers were actually allowed to participate in battle and that Gould had to push to get the regiment into combat duty. - Jonathan Bell | This movie gets many small details right compared to previous movies i have seen.

| + | Although many think that the 54th MA was the first black regiment in the Civil War, as it is more symbolic and is the one Glory is all about, the filmmakers try to prevent that misperception. When Shaw meets Montgomery, he is asked something like, "you didn't think yours was the only colored regiment, did you?" and we learn that the 2d SC existed before the 54th MA did. -Whitney H. | ||
