Review of Glory
|
|
|
The film, “Glory,” begins with the main character, Robert Gould Shaw, a 25 year old son of an abolitionist, fighting in the Battle of Antietam. After witnessing the bloodiness and casualities of the battle, Shaw returns to his Boston family home, only to be promoted to colonel of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment. The majority of the movie focuses on the training of the totally African American 54th regiment. In this time, Shaw fights moral struggles he is faced with while training the troops. These moral struggles concern the whipping of a ‘deserter,’ the harsh training of his lifelong friend, Thomas, as well as gaining the respect of the regiment. Shaw attempts to gain the troops’ respect by making the same sacrifices they do; he gives up pay with the troops and puts his life on the line in continuing to command the all black regiment. When the exclusive training of the troops comes to and end, and the time comes where they are expected to go into battle, Shaw senses that his regiment is being treated unfairly. Finally, he insists that the 54th regiment have the honor of being the first regiment to attack Fort Wagner.
