During the attack seen in this movie, Fort Wagner, sadly, was not taken by the Union. Some say it was, but the regiments that came in from behind, while Colonel Shaw and the 54th was doing their thing(dying), failed...
(After that night, the Union kept a long seige on the Fort. A long time after that, the Confederates snuck out and retreated towards Charleston. So, the Fort was actually taken, but not by force.)
"But what makes him [Colonel Robert Shaw] an extraordinary individual lies beyond this noble deed [the battle at Fort Wagner]. In what would be a only a few months with the regiment, Shaw's remarkable personal growth found him transformed from "an ordinary mortal" to a compassionate and selfless leader who laid down his life for his men and for a race. This is what makes him a true hero."
You should see it.My History teacher said it was based off of the letters Colonel Robert Gould Shaw sent home during his time in the Union Army.It was the most hisorically factual movie ever made!
If this movie is not on your favorite list, then you should be ashamed of your self (unless you havnt seen it)
SEE IT!
I believe that this is one of the greatest war movies ever. Check the history books, because almost everything in this movie, contrary to most other war movies, is true. Everyone should see this.
It is hard to believe that the same person who played baby-faced Ferris Bueller in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and in a number of teen movies, would play Colonel Robert Gould Shaw in "Glory"-Matthew Broderick!
A shame he wasn't nominated for an Oscar, but no biggie. Mr. Broderick turned in a masterpiece of a great acting performance as the doomed colonel, reminding us that he can take any role-comedic or dramatic, and can turn the role into gold!
