Amazon.com

One of the finest films ever made about the American Civil War, Glory also has the honor of being the first major Hollywood film to acknowledge the vital contribution of African American soldiers to the country's historic struggle. Based on the books Lay This Laurel, by Lincoln Kirstein, and One Gallant Rush, by Peter Burchard, and the wartime letters of Robert Gould Shaw, the film tells the story of the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, an all-black unit comprising Northern freemen and escaped slaves. Under the command of Shaw (played by Matthew Broderick), the 54th served admirably in battle until they made their ultimate demonstration of bravery during the almost suicidal assault on the Confederate Fort Wagner in Charleston, South Carolina, on July 18, 1863. Glory achieves its powerful impact by meticulously setting up the terrible conditions under which these neglected soldiers fought, and by illuminating the tenacity of the human spirit from the oppression of slavery to the hard-won recognition of battlefield heroism. Although Denzel Washington deservedly won an Oscar for his supporting role as a runaway-slave-turned-soldier, Glory faced some tough competition at the 1989 Academy Awards (against popular hits like Driving Miss Daisy and Dead Poets Society) and was shut out of nearly all the major categories. Since then, it's been duly recognized by historians and critics as a classic film of its genre. --Jeff Shannon

Beautiful and Glorious

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

I last viewed this movie over 30 yrs ago... When I was 17! I recently watched this with my 12.5 yr old for Black History Month, and wow. Glory is a classic, an excellent representation of American Civil War history through the eyes of a brave abolitionist Union captain and the formerly enslaved, employed as Union Army soldiers under his command. Every American should include this movie as one of the greats, and it should be shown in every middle and high school classroom. Watch this with your children... you won't be disappointed. Via the captain and his soldiers, we see what real bravery and morality look like.

This is a great film
that tells the story of the first Black military unit, their conflicts, ridicule by the White officers and senior insisted troops and racist attitudes during the Civil War.
Why we didn't learn about this in public school when I was in school? I don't know if it was taught in military academy classes until 25 or so years ago.
Finally, we have this movie to fill this important gap for all to see.

They had to make a white guy the lead Despite that focuses upon ending slavery & of course Denzel

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

I used to show this movie in my American History class. I usually wouldn’t like this type of film because the star is Matthew Broderick as Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. He led the 54th Massachusetts Regiment an all African American unit during the Civil War. This movie should have been about the black soldiers, but they couldn’t do that. They had to have a white man in the lead. Hollywood makes black films but they market those just to black audiences. To make a major high budget movie it’s got to feature a white man. Now some will say but this was a true story and the unit was led by Colonel Shaw. I retort this is the movie business where reality is what they make it to be. The racism in the industry simply couldn’t make a movie just about black soldiers in the Civil War.

Now that I’m done with that rant I will actually talk about how this is a good movie despite Hollywood.

First, the movie portrays how bloody and cruel the Civil War was. It starts with the Battle of Antietam. Men are being mowed down. There is a route. Afterward there’s a scene of a Union hospital with a man having his leg cut off with no anesthesia or pain killer. it gives a good sense of just how bloody and chaotic war was at this time.

More importantly Glory puts slavery at the center of the war. There are some Americans who don’t even know or deny that was what the conflict was about. The 54th Regiment was obviously made up of blacks who wanted to fight for their freedom. Frederick Douglas makes a brief cameo. When the unit finally deploys to the south they march past plantation mansions and are greeted by freed slaves, again hitting home what this was all about. There’s also the memorable scene where Denzel Washington is being punished by getting lashed. When they take off his shirt his back is full of scars from whippings he received when he was enslaved.

Finally Denzel really shines in his role even outdoing Morgan Freeman and Andrew Braugher who were also part of the cast. His character is so full of anger and hate and has a chip on his shoulder that you can’t look away whenever he’s on screen.

Despite the faults with the movie Glory is still a great war film. It focuses upon ending slavery in America and has a great performance by Denzel Washington that makes up for its original sin.

An Award Winning Civil War movie now for the PSP

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2008

Verified Purchase

It would be impossible for me to claim I do not enjoy Edward Zwick's Glory. After all, I now have it in three formats, VHS (which I got for Christmas back in the early '90s), 2 disc DVD (which I got around 2003 for Christmas as much to have it on DVD as to get all the bonus features), and now on UMD (which I just purchased to play in my PSP when on the go). I first saw the movie back in the eighth grade and it inspired me years later as a junior in high school to include the 54th Massachusetts and the assault on Fort Wagner into a paper I did on the war. Not only that, it fueled my interest in a subject of the war that wasn't really dealt with in school, black regiments in the Civil War. With a natural lean towards the 54th. Which has lead to me to including "Blue-Eyed Child of Fortune: The Civil War Letters of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw" and Noah Andre Trudeau's "Like Men of War" to my personal library.

This review is actually on UMD version. But for those who don't know (and who haven't already guessed), Glory tells the story of the 54th Massachusetts Colored Regiment. The first regiment of black troops authorized by the federal government. It was a unit made up of black enlisted men with white officers (and indeed most such units throughout the war were the same). Though certainly not the first such unit formed, as the movie itself explains, it was the first authorized by the federal government rather than created by an officer in the field using "contraband." Or former field slaves taken from the fields as Union forces came through. This gave the government the idea of expirementing with forming an "all black" regiment. Initially they were not be meant to be used as combat troops (in fact in the actual history there was a question of whether or not black units would run at the first sign of Confederate troops), but their commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, gets the unit finally transfered to combat duty where they prove themselves every bit as good as good as the white units. The movie culminates with the assault on Fort Wagner, which is spearheaded by the 54th. This makes the movie bitter sweet as the regiment suffered 50% casualties in the assault, including the death of Shaw, and the fort was never taken (in fact months later the Confederates merely left the fort allowing Union troops to just walk in).

Glory took home numerous award nominations and wins. This includes five Oscar nominations (winning for Best Supporting Actor (Denzel Washington), Best Cinematography, Best Sound), five Golden Globe nominations (winning for Best Supporting Actor (Denzel Washington)), and 1 Grammy nomination (and the win for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television).

Now as I said, this is more aimed at the UMD. First off, if you have the 2000 Speial Edition 2 disc DVD don't expect this will be the same thing. The only special fearture is a preview secgment. Also the subtitles are limited to English and Spanish. However, this is anamorphic widescreen, and like the widescreen presentation on the Special Edition set it's presented in 1.85:1 ratio. It's also, thankfully, the full movie so you don't have to worry about missing a scene.

But the thing that gets me is the things I noticed for the first time. Recently I suffered a blackout due to a recent storm. So knowing I had some juice in my PSP I grabbed it along with this UMD. It was the first time I watched Glory on the PSP, and being so used to watching the DVD in recent years I was actually looking to see what all might have been cut off due to the screen size. Sure it's widescreen, but I'm so used to watching widescreen on TV or portable DVD players where the screen size is a bit bigger and I see the black at the top and bottom of the screen. So I was paying things a little closer attention than normal. Now some of the things I noticed, such as the badly injured horse having to be shot after Antietm, I knew were there but had never actually noticed them as they were either in the background or were kinda concealed by other things. For me, this really makes owning the UMD a must have if you're a fan of the film.

If you've seen Glory in the theater, on VHS, or on DVD, then you will not be disappointed by the UMD version. It will make a wonderful edition to your PSP movie collection.

Disappointing Courier Service By Intelcom Courrier Canada Inc.

After two failed attempts to deliver my order, Amazon proved they are incapable of securing a courier service capable of hitting their marks. Sadly, after repeated messages and alerts I have severed ties as an Amazon customer, after years of loyalty. Their customer service department is the worst in the nation. I give them no stars.

Gritty well made period war drama

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

A superb historical drama/war film. Yes it has some clichés in it but it's also a moving and historically important piece telling a crucial chapter in American history. Our characters are rich, diverse and grow to share and strong bond, there is also some fine character development, especially for Denzel Washington's character.

The blu ray is a good looking transfer, the colours don't knock you out like some modern releases, things are more muted with lots of dark blues, browns and sandy colours, it does give a natural realistic feel though.
The soundtrack is suitably dramatic. Morgan Freeman gives a performance of his usual high standard playing another wise steady character he's so well known for, The film touches on themes of Idealism v reality, discrimination, friendship and overcoming limitations. It's also rather slow paced, I'm still not quite sure about Matthew Broderick though, unsure he was suited to military roles.

GLORY: CIVIL WAR DRAMA!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 23, 2020

Civil war drama. The film is full of realistic battle scenes with gruesome detail. It is also rich in period detail with a moving score by James Horner. The film has no problems at all and is not too long at 2 hours. The plot follows the true story of Colonel Shaw and his command of an African American Unit during The U. S. Civil War of the 1860s.

A Truly Glorious Experience

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

Although somewhat inaccurate, Edward Zwick's film has a good sense of historical truth to it and makes you feel as though you are actually in the Civil War era. The characters despite many of them being fictional are relatable and believable. Denzel Washington who plays the slave turned soldier, Trip and Morgan Freeman who is perfect for the role of the wise mentor character, Sergeant Major Rawlins obviously steal the spotlight. Matthew Broderick however does do a spectacular job of depicting the naive but dedicated young Colonel of the 54th, Robert Gould Shaw. There are a lot of complaints about Broderick's role in the film but I cannot think of an actor at the time who could have done a better job of portraying the 'boy Colonel' than he did.

While there are significantly less battle scenes when compared to other Civil War films such as Gettysburg, the film focuses very much on character development. The four principal black soldiers have to accept each other’s different walks in life while Colonel Shaw learns to respect the abilities of his men as well as confronting injustice when it rears its ugly head. Your emotions for the characters throughout the story will often vary, while you may be congratulating Shaw one minute for taking up the leadership of the 54th, you will feel anger when he looks at Private Trip in the eye (who had already suffered at the hands of his former master) as he is flogged upon the wheel. The battle scenes though few and far between are excellent examples of great cinematography and required many reenactors to pull them off. When the inevitable arrives and Colonel Shaw leads his men on the suicidal charge of Fort Wagner, you can only watch in horror as the characters you knew and loved are gunned down. The film actually ends on a somewhat positive note, although this can be hard to see as the young Colonel and his men are buried in a pit. This great sacrifice of Shaw and his brave black men ultimately paved the way for black enlistment which in the long term, would help the Union to triumph over the Confederates.

There are a few nitpicks which I have to mention, the first and most glaring one is how quickly Captain Shaw takes to accept the 54th’s leadership when in reality he refused at first, pondering whether or not he should take part in a task that would most likely result in his demise. Ironically Cary Elwes’ character, who is partly based on Edward Needles Hallowell, a dedicated abolitionist is the one displaying the most reluctance here. Also the film implies that the whole regiment was wiped out at Fort Wagner when in reality the 54th, now led by Colonel Hallowell would fight again in many future battles such as Olustee. The Fort contrary to what was stated in the film was taken soon after the battle (the rebels abandoned the area when the decomposing bodies of the 54th contaminated the water supplies). Finally the 54th is depicted as consisting of mostly slaves when most of its members were actually freemen of the North, although I think the film made it this way so all black regiments would be represented.

Overall this film is a gem, and any enthusiast of the Civil War or of black history should definitely have this on their shelf. Despite Glory being just a little more accurate than Braveheart the film depicts likeable characters and the struggles they have to face, spectacular battle scenes and an unforgettable soundtrack which helps to create tension and atmosphere throughout the story. Although some may understandably have problems with this film, the impact at the time of it's release and how we rethought the role of the black race in the Civil War cannot be denied.

So I ordered the Blu-Ray disc 'Glory' & I received a message saying it would be delivered on Sunday,13th September but in fact it was delivered a day earlier which I thought was excellent service. There are two discs inside the cover, why I have no idea but it didn't really matter because neither of them would play. A total waste of money!
Unfortunately I don't have a printer so I cannot send the item back. In fact the best place for this Blu-Ray disc in in the Recycle Bin. Very disappointed!
