[@cisium1184]

For me the best part is after dressing-down Pvt Trip about the N-word, Sgt Rawlins turns to the rest of the unit and says, "you _men_ go on about your business." As if to say to Trip: the men you need to model yourself after are all around you. Brilliantly subtle use of social proof, and an example of the leadership skill that got Rawlins promoted. I like to think Rawlins survived and became a drill sergeant himself.

Remember who the enemy is and stop fighting your friends. Even if you don't particularly like your friends.

[@pcbacklash_3261]

What makes both these scenes so powerful is that both narratives struck a nerve. In the first, Trip touches what has probably been a suspicion of Searles all along -- that, no matter how articulate or erudite he is, he'll always be seen by Whites as second class. In the second, Rawlins gets to the heart of Trip's rage, behind all the bravado. These are the scenes that make movies more than just images on celluloid. It makes them art.

[@Alex462047]

To my mind, that is probably one of the finest arguments, if a little too specific for general use, against the whole victim mentality that has seized the modern mindset. And Freeman is right. It's precisely smallmindedness like that which makes the black man a "n****r". And the decision to behave in a bitter, smallminded way, like a victim, or not is an individual decision. The alternative is to take your place in the bigger scheme and prove your worth, whether other, bitter and smallminded people recognise that for what it is or not. That seems like the better option.

To pick a fight like that at that point in time was and is just as foolish as it is to THIS DAY. We all live and die all the same, born, eat, live, sleep and one day, die. All the same. At this time no they were not the same but in a war, different story. Someone told me once " if you get mad about being called a name, don't be. Being mad only proves that you THINK and are ACKNOWLEDGING you are whatever they are saying you are" that's some advice for this day and age, does not apply to then because of racism being so commonplace.

To me: through out most of this film Rawlins was biting his tongue when ever Trip would shoot his mouth off, figuring that if he didn't say anything Trip would realize that no one's listening to him and he would stop. But here, Rawlins reached the end of his patience with Trip and put him in his place.

[@tomservo5347]

You can see Trip was thinking of lashing out with some witty reply but Sergeant Rawlins just gave him a spoonful of foul tasting medicine that for once left him speechless. It's great because Trip really turns a corner after this. When we see him with Thomas next time he places a hand on his shoulder, who defensively steps back but Trip meaningfully is just wanting to reassure him. Trip's character ends up being based on the real soldier that carried the regiment's national flag back to safety after the assault failed despite being wounded head to toe and won the Medal of Honor.

[@billnewman7355]

That's not what happened. Searles, like many of the soldiers, was nervous, and he was too weak kneed. He stumbled and Trip put his hand to keep him steady, completing the arc of Trip finally becoming the brother in arms with him.

Great scene with two supreme actors, this was such a treat to witness two great actors.

[@TheAlps36]

Respect to Andre Braugher as well. So young too

[@PartTimeJedi]

My hometown used to show this every year in Middle school History classes. It should be seen by every generation.

[@SWEMartin]

Wow the acting at 4:25. The combination of realization and shame in his eyes. I cant even express those emotion IRL, in a real situation

[@GhostDrummer]

This is one of the absolute greatest movies ever made. I’ll never forget watching the scene when they come over the walls at the end right into the bulk of the confederate army at the fort.

[@jasongray9696]

When Freeman dresses down Washington it is one of the only times I have seen Denzel not be the dominate personality on the screen. Excellent scene, to include Andre Braugher's reaction to Denzel's taunts.

[@quintonwilliams718]

Great scene by great actors Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman.

[@NANA-lq5md]

Two of my favorite actors in one scene

[@discodesanti2459]

It's like Alonzo from Training Day went back in time and fought in the civil war.

[@sloppyjoe4017]

Denzel killed it. He earned the shit out of that Oscar

[@shawnkelly9751]

Two of my favorite actors in the same scene!!!!

[@ICGvids]

Denzel and Morgan freeman in one movie is legend overload those men are brilliant actors

[@petemartin295]

One of Denzel Washington's best performances.

[@calledout4thegospel]

This is the pinnacle of acting from the best!!! Wow! Denzel and Morgan.🙌🏾

[@chris1pdx]

Some top-notch acting by all involved

[@Taiko-THC349]

I seriously met guys like Trip in the military when I was in.

[@QuinnJACKSON-zx1dx]

When I was in basic, there was this skinny guy was being a jerk and the grill sgt flipped over a table to get to his a**. I never seen anything like it.

[@Taiko-THC349]

@@QuinnJACKSON-zx1dx What did HE DO to justify that?

[@QuinnJACKSON-zx1dx]

It was years ago, and I don't remember the detail. I remember the whole brigade was getting into formation and couldn't hear the words. But we saw the table flipped and the skinny dude was up against the wall. Another grill sgt. came over to get between them. Kind of...more like investigating the situation. That skinny dude was in our platoon. We were petrified.

[@Taiko-THC349]

@@QuinnJACKSON-zx1dx Wow, did the guy finish basic?

[@SmokeyTreats]

We are so fortunate & even lucky to have Denzel & Morgan!

[@TheFuzzypuddle]

It's difficult to even comprehend how actors of this calibre can express so much emotion in a scene. Morgan's delivers through his tone and pace of speech. Denzel delivers with his look of disbelief and realization. Actors delivering like this is what transports audiences into the movie. While you are watching this scene, you feel like you are standing there, and you forget that you are sitting in your room. It is magical.

[@hagamapama]

Freeman has the easier task here. He can orate, and use his amazing voice and vocal range. On the other hand, Denzel has just his face, and he has to act half a character act, wordlessly, with just this scene and a few facial expressions and some cues from Morgan. What he does with whhat he has to work with, is absolutely genius.

[@TheFuzzypuddle]

@@hagamapama That's a great aspect to point out. In this scene, Denzel's facial emotes drive his entire character. The more I think about that, the more I realize how a lack of facial emoting or doing it poorly destroys a character. When I think of examples of bad acting, the examples almost always include some for poor facial emoting or awkward body language or the use of a vocal tone that doesn't match the intended emotion. Great point @hagamapama

[@JosephPerrotta-db9xp]

​@@TheFuzzypuddlethese are two of the greatest actors ever

[@kbforme]

God damn Freeman and Denzel is such an amazing combination. These guys are actors because they are masters of the craft, race has nothing to do with it. It's so sad that Hollywood is so obsessed with DEI that powerful moments like this will probably never be on film again in our lifetime.

[@kaboomkieboom8777]

Telling history right, great acting and story. Screw modern movies trying to change history. This is telling it, not changing it

[@jeffkeenan5059]

2 of the best actors in Hollywood. Washington and Frreman are good men as well.

[@BonnKialStevens]

One of the best movies ever made.

[@JamesSmith-qb3be]

When Morgan Freeman said the time is gonna come we antiup and kick in like men....LIKE MEN!!!!! I felt that shit

[@benitodee3274]

Man this is such a good scene! Denzel AND Freeman...2 giants right there!

[@ms38980]

Just an outstanding film. More relevant today than ever. Denzel and Morgan just killed it.

[@mustangrobert]

Wow! Now that's wtf I'm talking about! Respect yourself!

[@ozymandias35]

“Smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-running --“ is probably the deepest cutting insult in cinematic history.

[@jeffryfoote]

RIP Andre Braugher🙏🏾

[@kurtb8474]

Morgan and Denzel are both class acts!

[@JM-cw9ww]

By far one of the best movies I have ever seen. Lot of reality checks and men coming together for one purpose.

[@iamBlackGambit]

Wow..dude was slapped speechless!! He got real quite!!! Morgan is so believable in this roll!!

[@davefuller84]

This scene sets America straight if it’s seen. Because we’ll all in it man. All of us

[@raygowan1968]

Such a great movie and amazing performances by all 3 in this scene. In my opinion this is the performance that put Denzel on the map.

[@torridd]

Freeman, Washington, Braugher. Enough of a reason this movie is a masterpiece.

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

If its one person who could shut Denzel Washington's character up no matter how much bravado he's carrying its Morgan freaking Freeman.

[@kevman949]

Arguably the best acting and monologue in any movie ever made.
