[@OhNotThat]

Shaw got a lot of PTSD that he can't forget or resolve. His time on the battlefield watching his commander's head explode like a melon and then his time at the military hospital hearing screaming men beg to not have more of their limbs amputated left a mental scar that just won't heal. It's like a constant intrusive thought that ruins his day, every day whenever he got a moment to himself, that's all he comes back to thinking about. I know lots of guys are like just "get over it" and just don't get it.

[@truthreigns3465]

ok mamma

[@captainamerica6525]

Which may explain why he trained the 54th in the manner he did. Hard training saves spilled blood which then saves lives.

[@ARKHAMASYLUM-qc7bw]

Those who say get over it in that manner never been through it cheers to your mates

[@metalrocker627]

Yeah, war changes you. Life goes on though whether if one would want it to or not.

[@nameredacted1176]

You’re definitely going to bring home some ghosts home with you if you’ve actively fought in a combat theater. I’ve got one buddy, to this day and at random times still swears he sees a kid he’d watched die in the Kandahar province in Afghanistan. He says he still sees him. I’ve got another buddy who won’t go anywhere near grocery bags that are just laying in the street or something because they fancied putting IED’s in grocery bags for men to run over or step on. I have my own ghosts as well, talking to anybody who has never been is basically just talking to a wall. “People sleep peacefully in their beds at night because there are rough men who stay awake ready to commit brutal acts against their enemies in order to protect their oh so peaceful sleep”

[@carnagegerman]

Everyone deserved an Oscar for this film

[@Kitchdmn3]

When I watched this the first time I didn’t catch it at 1:14 that Robert was suffering from PTSD from Antietam.

[@The2ndFirst]

It's a film worth re watching. It's well crafted. One doesn't attach PTSD to the ACW, but it's not a new thing.

[@hawkinatorgamer9725]

Same for me, saw it as a kid. I served many years later, and it made alot more sense.

[@forsakenace9577]

There’s many moments where Shaw has that dead stare. Especially when his unit receives their rifles and his men are playing with the rifles.

[@medicolkie3606]

@@forsakenace9577 Very powerful scene. You can even hear Shaw's commanding officer shouting for a few moments

[@lawrencelou3545]

Everyone had praises for Denzel Washington's Oscar winning performance.. and so with Morgan Freeman.. yet nobody even acknowledged that Matthew Broderick did a fine job as well.

[@willusa4167]

"No choice. All the other officers are dead." (Laughs because he has no understanding at all yet.) 0:52 Damn.

[@metalmadness5851]

Only 25 - 26 years old, having just survived the horrors of Antietam, scarred from seeing his men and friends slaughtered and the aftermath that followed. Shaw still volunteered to go back, knowing he'd likely see it all over again, all for the sake of his nation and people (black and white.) I can't imagine having that kind of courage. ===Some Additional Historical Notes=== Frederick Douglass would actually have two of his sons serve in the 54th Massachusetts. Charles Douglass would grow severely ill and unable to participate in combat, while Lewis Douglass would participate in the Battle of Fort Wagner, and survived it and the whole war, passing in 1908, while Charles would pass in 1920. Both were some of the first to sign on. The 54th would survive the Battle of Fort Wagner, Colonel Edward Needles Hallowell taking command after Colonel Shaw's death. Hallowell was previously a Lieutenant under Col. Shaw, and kept his former officer's dream alive. (Cabot Forbes takes several references from Hallowell, so as not to overlap with Shaw.) In 1864, Colonel Hallowell succeeded in getting the men of the 54th, both current and former, full pay. The 54th would serve throughout the rest of the war, including one of the last battles, the Battle of Boykin's Mill. After the war, as with many regiments, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment would be disbanded in 1865, as the restored Union no longer needed a full military deployment. In 2008, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment would be revived as the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment of the US National Guard. They render military honors at ceremonies and funerals, and marched in President Obama's inaugural parade. Joining is considered a high honor, both for duties and history.

[@JoeMaureaux]

A man of deep thought and introspection and under the pressure of family, but also a man of action. This is what we should aspire for as men. My opinion

[@Theredknight-y7x]

the look of wild discomfort always on shaws face everywhere he goes is so real

[@sjh9781]

I was like 9 years old when this came out at the movies i went see it with my brother and cousin and literally it was one of the most powerful emotional movies I’ve ever witnessed at the end of the movie grown men and women came out crying after it was over. That stilll stick with me after all these years.

[@erickleefeld4883]

Robert Gould Shaw was 25 years old. This movie does a great job of showing that greatness is not necessarily some preexisting superhuman quality, but can instead represent the struggle of a human being as he meets the challenge of the times.

[@Taveren]

Morgan freeman doesnt smile or laugh, hes not like tripp in his hatred but like shaw he knows the weight of war. Digging the grave for the soldier who have fallen definitely help define your perspective

[@erickleefeld4883]

He’s gotten a taste of the horror, from burying those bodies, unlike those totally green and exuberant younger men. And he’s knowingly signed up for the real thing himself, after watching other men die for the cause on his behalf.

[@huskiefan8950]

That final look from Shaw like "man, we got a long way to go"

I freaking love Glory! It’s a film I’ll cry every time I watch it, but it’s always worth it.

To go from Capt to Colonel is to skip three ranks. His pause is about the shock of that kind of jump in importance and responsibility.

[@adamrobinette6832]

It was a really moving scene seeing Forbes change in mood when Shaw said he wanted him to come lead at his side. Behind this exterior Forbes is a guy that thinks of himself as a failure. But Shaw some qualities he couldn't see that came pouring out of him at Fort Wagner, when Shaw was killed.

Apparently the actress who starred as Shaw's mother was not credited. Does anyone know why?

[@judyveazie7483]

Was it Mathew Broderick's mother? Heard she was very eager to influence the film to have more Shaw focus, but the goal was to tell the black soldier story.
