Glory (1989)

Information at Internet Movie Database

Themes

Call, Courage

Glory was the true story of first Black combat regiment, the 54th Massachusetts, to fight in the Civil War. The commander (by law the officers had to be white) was the young, Harvard-educated, son of wealthy Boston abolitionists, Col. Robert Gould Shaw, played by Matthew Broderick. In addition to Broderick, the cast included Denzel Washington (who won an Oscar for best supporting actor), Morgan Freeman, and Cary Elwes. It definitely touches on themes of call and courage - Shaw knows what he has to do, and ultimately that it will cost him his life. It also speaks well of race relations (in that time). This is a great film. (Richard S. Hong)
