CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Colonel Shaw (Matthew Broderick) confronts the Quartermaster (Richard Riehle) about withholding shoes for his troops.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Glory is a celebration of a little-known act of mass courage during the Civil War. Simply put, the heroes involved have been ignored by history due to racism. Those heroes were the all-black members of the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, headed by Col. Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick), the son of an influential abolitionist (played by an uncredited Jane Alexander). Despite the fact that the Civil War is ostensibly being fought on their behalf, the black soldiers are denied virtually every privilege and amenity that is matter of course for their white counterparts; as in armies past and future, they are given the most menial and demeaning of tasks. Still, none of the soldiers quit the regiment when given the chance. The unofficial leaders of the group are gravedigger John Rawlins (Morgan Freeman) and fugitive slave Trip (Denzel Washington), respectively representing the brains and heart of the organization. The 54th acquit themselves valiantly at Fort Wagner, SC, charging a fortification manned by some 1,000 Confederates. Glory was based on Lincoln Kirstein's Lay This Laurel and Peter Burchard's One Gallant Rush; the latter book was founded on the letters of Col. Robert Gould Shaw, the real-life character played by Matthew Broderick. The film won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for co-star Denzel Washington, and additional statuettes for Best Cinematography (Freddie Francis) and Sound Recording.

@Raul Castro Most modern CO's are just yes men in it for 20 years then they are out. Modern Military is a corporation.

[@paladinsix9285]

@Raul Castro Sickening! During my 28 year career in the US Army we were nearly always well supplied! In 1984 the tropical BDU was not available, so we were issued "new" never worn olive green "Jungle Fatigues" not camo. As well as three pairs of Jungle Boots each. During pre-deployment in 2005, a Supply Sergeant had a "snit" when I Demanded Desert Boots that fit Properly, instead of boots that were "my size" on paper. It was past 1700 hours on a Friday, the rest of my Platoon were waiting on the bus, or on the way back to the barracks. I told him, in a couple weeks he'd be issuing boots to another Brigade, but I would be on Foot Patrol in the "Sunni Triangle" I got proper boots. 15 months later I had worn most of the tread off of all three pairs of boots!

[@metalmadness5851]

Zach Haywood this movie came out the same year as Driving Mrs Daisy and Driving Mrs Daisy got all the attention and accolades. Just goes to show what White Hollywood wanted to lift up as far as black stories. If this movie came out today, it would be appreciated so much more

[@jasonlotito]

Something that often gets overlooked is Shaw doesn't hand out the boots. He effectively hides himself. This is important, because he realize he shouldn't get the adulation of the men. He failed them, and it was Rawlins that spoke up. This isn't to say Shaw is horrible, but he recognizes that he just did what he should have done, and in standing back, this shows he understands this. In fact, it shows him going to see and reflect on the results of this mistake. This is character growth, and I love it.

[@Sanamama1363]

I’d like to personally thank you for this comment reading this really helps me understand this masterpiece of a movie more and more.

[@KobashifanSam]

He didnt really know how bad things really were. His men were failed by him by not giving them proper equipment. Denzel's character was whipped for trying to get shoes. He felt great shame for it and didnt want any of the credit. It was a great growth if character indeed

This is one of the best movies ever made. A true classic. Long live the 54th! When Colonel Shaw was killed, the Confederates buried him unceremoniously with his fellow soldiers. Shaw's father, upon hearing about this and asked whether they should dig him up and move him to a more proper resting place, said that he felt his son could not have received a higher honor than to be laid to rest along with the rest of his troops. Also, Colonel Shaw was one of the youngest Colonel's ever -- losing his life at the young age of 25.

[@edgar22452]

All of it is so true.

[@Alamandorious]

I can think of no greater honor than for a colonel to be buried with his men, the men he fought for and died for.

[@Jake_Steiner]

Shaw was not the youngest to be commissioned Colonel, there were several other boy colonels on both sides who were commissioned younger. In the US Army, Galusha Pennypacker and Ulrich Dahlgren(son of famous Civil War US Navy Admiral John Dahlgren, and was one of the most brave and daring of the US Army's cavalry officers) were the two youngest, commissioned at age 19 and 21, respectively. The Confederate Army's youngest colonel was Henry Burgwyn was killed at Gettysburg, shot twice through the chest while leading his 26th North Carolina Infantry regiment forward. He was one of 13 men and officers killed after picking up his regiment's colors. By the time his men had rallied round their colors, their boy colonel had already been slain. Like valiant Dahlgren, Burgwyn died at the young age of 21. Two brilliant and fearless young officers cut down while bravely led their troops, gone far too soon.

[@morganstone897]

I thought Carey Elwes was the one who also neglected in this movie. Of all the people he tried to seek some semblance of a non-'separate white and black army

[@becool5706]

Unfortunately he wouldn't because the movie was focused on African American soldiers and how they fought in the civil war..... it's not exactly wrong that he didn't get it cause of the focus of the movie..... but I do see your point.... this is a civil rights film, or historical fiction if anything.... parts of this happened without a dought... but most of it is a fictional civil rights story that has factual foundations..... most civil war movies and stories are like this as well.

[@daveyboy_]

Overlooked ? Broderick was the star

[@gabeguarin1096]

The way the Academy passed over this film is truly shameful, especially considering how awards-friendly it is, and also considering Driving Miss Daisy won Best Picture.

[@notlivinlifefastjt3654]

[@JFinSD2]

This was a poignant scene because right before this, Broderick's character had Washington's character flogged for going AWOL. Later he found out that Washington's character had left in search of proper shoes because his feet were badly hurt. In fact many of the soldiers in the Col. command were suffering. So he took action to get boots for his soldier partly because it was his duty as a commanding officer and part because he felt guilty about having Washington's character flogged.

[@ARCtrooperblueleader]

Beautifully said.

[@christianweibrecht6555]

The more I learn about the civil war the more clear it becomes that both sides we're definitely not ready for a massive war and they were just improvising as they went along

[@JnEricsonx]

@@christianweibrecht6555 Especially once new tech showed up. You're using muzzleloaders, then a hundred guys with lever action rifles show up and proceed to SHOWER you with lead.

[@angusmcculloch6653]

He shouldn't feel guilty for flogging Washington (and I doubt he was feeling guilty). No matter what's going on, if you're a private you can't go AWOL. You work within your chain of command to address your problem. If your chain of command isn't good, well, that's why it's dumb to join the military in the first place. But, he did, so he should have sucked it up and done it right. Washington's character deserved the punishment for going AWOL. And, in fact, they thought he was deserting, so Shaw took it easy on Washington. In the Civil War, the punishment for desertion was death. Soldiers cannot go in and out of camp whenever they feel like it, no matter their reasons.

[@woodrobin]

@@angusmcculloch6653 If the Army has no loyalty to the soldier, the soldier owes no loyalty to the Army. If the chain of command is broken (as it was in the case of the quartermaster defying the orders of a colonel and refusing to issue shoes and socks to black soldiers), then it is impossible to follow, and it is a fool's errand to try. Following the chain of command requires a functioning chain of command. An army must give loyalty to a soldier, and make that soldier part of a body that has a common cause, to earn the loyalty that will cause that soldier to lay down his life for his brother, and to risk his life for the objectives the Army tells him must be achieved. It is not, and must never be, a one-way street, where all is given by the soldier, and nothing is given to the soldier in return.

What I love most about Matthew Brodericks rendition of Col. Shawl is the passion and endearment in his eyes. He is wise as a serpent but meek as a lamb. No one took the black regiment seriously. But he did at the sacrifice of ridicule from his superiors and discord with his other comrade. He had compassion and bravery. Never letting his status override his purpose. I love how his fellow comrade by Cary Elwes stood by his side despite their differences. A story of friendship, love, bravery, and defying unspeakable odds amid persecution. Though they loss, they truly won. They are the ones who permeated history.

Matthew Broderick! I have the biggest crush on him! Every since I was 14 years old. Can't help it! Can you blame me?

[@mariekano9730]

Me too. I got turned on by him in the scene. He was a man!

[@pricillathomas5077]

😍 I love him!

[@taylorkittles3035]

I don't blame you :))

[@justmyopinion628]

The acting in this film was some of the best i've seen. Denzel Washington, what an actor, brilliant.

Why u gotta call me out like that-

[@wakcedout]

best is the col. walking out and seeing part of his unit led by his sergeant just waiting there guarding the doorway so nobody interupted his meeting with the quarter master.

[@ethanschott4320]

Give them hell, 54th!! I don't think I've ever seen this movie without crying

[@muhammadandraaditya4802]

From a high school truant to a Civil War hero, to a destined leader of Pride Rock and to a hitmaking accountant-turned-Broadway producer, Matthew Broderick's roles earn standing ovation and rapturous applauses

[@matthewescudero4287]

Which was the hit making accountant turned Broadway producer? I might have missed that one.

[@carlbirtles4518]

As long as you don’t mention being a gadget-wielding inspector.

[@CommandaInChief]

His voice and face is so cute and innocent. Good actor but he's better with softer roles

[@factsonly4124]

It is said by those who knew the real Robert Gould Shaw, that he had soft girlish features and with his regiment his voice was soft yet firm, and he was a "mommas boy". The real Shaw was very soft spoken with pretty boy looks, so Matthew Broderick fit this role perfectly in that sense alone.

[@mariekano9730]

The real robert shaw was literally like that. Matthew even looks like him

[@KuChiPhuc]

Amanda Anaya Matthew Broderick in this movie looks like the real Robert Gould Shaw so much it's creepy... Just google a picture of the real Robert Gould Shaw and compare the two, and you'll see.

[@graceskerp]

"Speak softly and carrying a big stick", Teddy Roosevelt. Those eagles on Shaw's shoulders could beat 'nasty little cuss' down to whale crap. A full colonel in your face and you'll have to change your skivies afterwards.

[@anyaw340]

He was perfect. Robert Shaw was young and from a wealthy, intellectual Massachusetts family. He wouldn't have been "hard".

[@yoshshmenge294]

"I'll just have a look around." Bang, crash that part always cracked me up.

[@GunnerM60]

I love it when lower ranking officers in important positions try pull stunts on superiors. It never ends well and is always extremely amusing when they're put in their place!

[@GooninRaccoonin]

best colonel ever

[@patgogan7324]

Damn Broderick was so young in this movie

[@rosebug1999]

Pat Gogan yes he was but he’s also absolutely cute as well

[@madjack1748]

I couldn't put my finger on where i recognized the QM from but then it finally hit me that he also played Tom Smykowski in Office Space.

[@kchandaman3012]

"Son of a BITCH" fuck I laugh at that line every time. It's almost as bad as "What? No!" from The Happening.

[@firegod001]

You've got to be joking.

[@kchandaman3012]

I'm not. That line is delivered so badly that it's hilarious.

[@kchandaman3012]

Delivery matters for an actor to make the scene credible. Broderick fails to convey any proper emotion here; he just sounds like he's reading lines. He needs to sound commanding and dignified, but instead he just comes off as awkward.

[@kchandaman3012]

I like the movie, mainly because of Denzel Washington and the other actors. I also quite like films that depict historical events and figures. I just don't like Broderick's acting. I used to think he was good, but looking back... yeah, he's pretty bad.

[@timberbee1197]

kchandaman Yeah and we watched this in school !

[@ohlongjohnsonfan1192]

don't u guys see, this guy was standing up for the other guy that got whipped in the back 20TIMES

[@EmTheFairy_]

Robert is adorable

[@eadecamp]

Love the look on COL Shaw's face at 1:23. I think he just grew another foot.

[@Oline1756]

When Simba gets pissed.

[@jameshall4383]

One of my favorite scenes in the whole movie. A Colonel standing up for equality for his men. And that line ‘can’t I? I’m a Colonel’ to a 2LT and that smile he gives when he walks out of the warehouse......EPIC! Matthew Broderick NAILED this role. Just sayin.

[@ArmyJames]

Hard to believe a guy that old (mid-40’s?) could be a 2LT, especially during wartime.

[@morammofilmsph1540]

Actually he's a 1LT. See the one bar in his shoulder board? 2LT has none.

[@robowisanveithasung6022]

@@ArmyJames he is the regimental quartermaster and thus probably didn't get promoted as much

[@chriscollazo7658]

this movie is full of great scenes

[@Dreadandcircuses]

I love that boyish smile after he comes out of the quatermaster's office. He was barely more than a kid himself.

What a tearjerker this film is.

[@mrExcellent101]

Dude - Ferris Bueller got a time machine and went back to the Civil War (??)

[@dawnwelch6579]

You know, I was just thinking that - how very Ferris he was with that smile...

[@WarbossR0kt00fSant0s]

Too bad he got killed.

[@Nazeem2010]

Tom Smykowski had never been talked down to like that before. Not even when he was working at iniTECH.

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

That quartermaster had people skills, he was good at dealing with people!

[@michaelcharlesthearchangel]

This might be my favorite war movie of all time. It is so beautiful and touching and yet true. ❤👏 I feel for the African American people very much so from this film.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Amen! Long live The 54th Massachusetts! These Men of Color, and nearly 180,000 Men of Color, turned the Tide of War in favor of the Union!

[@carlnico7331]

Parents: Don't do anything stupid son, or i smack you!! Robert: 0:35

[@supermariofan03]

People give Matthew Broderick heat in this movie, I didn't think he did too bad, I don't think it's one of the best performances in film history, but I really think he gave it his all and didn't try to act like Ferris Bueller in the Civil War. I mean it's not like he was told to do a British accent that would come off as over the top as opposed to authentic. *looks at Keanu Reeves in Dracula*

[@kylecrane4376]

It actually worked well as a young person that rose pretty fast and found themselves maybe a bit over their depth at first. Shaw was quite young.

[@Obi1Classic]
