Glory - Soldiers singing scene.mov

Soldiers Getting Ready Night Before Battle in "Glory," 1989. This is the BEST war movie scene in the past twenty years. Shows the spirit and character of Black Men.

[@g0-b0y90]

This is one of the single greatest acting scenes that I have ever seen

I agree Denzel is the best ever to do it .👍🏼

[@dr.lecter9795]

Not sure if he won an Oscar for this but he should have if not

[@Defender78]

@@dr.lecter9795 Actually Denzel did win for best supporting actor in this movie. Although I think that Morgan Freeman is actually the more involved supporting actor he was already nominated the same yr for best actor in driving miss daisy so he couldn't be nominated twice in a year. I think it's interesting how Trip is this loud, boisterous soldier, but when he has to speak, but he offers just a few words and isn't as confident as he thinks he is.

[@aircablenetwork8581]

Nobody owns people. We are a nation of individual people. That is problematic right there, claiming everyone like we slave. That mentalty hold folks back. This scene is not that message. I'm black and native. This an American People scene. In the end, Trip did it for God and America. Not Shaw. Oh, Shaw was based too in that scene. My top 10 of all films.

GOD Bless the men of the 54th Massachusetts who fought bravely!

[@bradleye660]

Unfortunately they fought for a cause that would not be appreciated. Abolishing slavery was a major mistake. America & Europe were meant to remain as white ethnostates. Multiculturalism is destroying America’s core, white identity. This country will decline and collapse as it becomes less white. A lot of people don’t realize this, but it’s the cold hard truth.

[@brandyyolidio4213]

They all knew what was coming, haunting brave scene and exceptional movie.

[@cleess2836]

In the times of slavery, coloured males were either called "boy" or "pops", depending on their age, but they were never "men". Hence why Denzel's character emphasises the "we're men" phrase. They feel, finally, equal.

[@edwardp.5631]

Excellent point! That is something at age 48 that I'm still trying to achieve! With Christ Jesus help I will achieve that status of being a MAN one-day!

[@tomfrederick8464]

Denzel didn't say much,........But he actually did say a lot just by saying,..."We are men right"??? His non verbal affect and expressions are absolute perfection. This was a very powerful scene

[@hagamapama]

A man who'd been closed off all his life opened his heart enough to say "I love you." It was something he desperately needed.

America will collapse and decline into a third world nation as it becomes less white. There won’t be anymore ‘America’ without us. But there are raceblind people like you that think ending slavery was some sort of divine event in US history. If anything America signed her death certificate with this event.

When he said "killed off my momma," my heart broke. This is the reality and brutality of black slavery in the U.S.

[@Helllow1012]

Slavery is brutal no matter what country it happens in.

[@jolttsp]

Is the implication that he killed his own mom to save her from torment before he ran away? Or is this just a phrasing to say his mom died so he left? Because the reaction of everyone seemed super chill, but you could also imagine that if that was their reality it wouldn't jar them so much

[@jl9062]

One of the subtle developments in this movie is Jupiter learning to read. At first he can’t read and Thomas happily offers to teach him how to read. Theres a scene in the middle where Jupiter is reading (the bible I think) bit by bit. Here he has clearly learned a lot within a short time and quotes the book.

[@johnfolsomtroy]

Trip, in his signifying, comes around to the dressing down he got from Rawlins, when Rawlins said, "If there're any _______ around here it's YOU," and, "we're going to have to pitch in like men! Like MEN!" This has clearly been on Trip's mind. He says here, "We men, ain't we."

This scene is BEYOND powerful. Knowing that they are fighting for a country that does not love them, but still showing total dedication to the greater cause. Its the burden that specifically affects black folks. To embody that pain, pride, strength and emotion on a camera is a testament of the professionalism of these actors.

When he says standing with those against those who are our against our oppressors. He was speaking of many white soldiers. But also 3 white regiments were with them. One of them was from New Hampshire. I have read the regimental history of the NH regiment who were part of that assault and it was quite a vicious fight. The Union soldiers, black and white, penetrated the fort. Many a good boy died, on both sides.
