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.
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”
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.
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
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
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.
Pride and dignity to those who have known only degradation.

ok mamma
Which may explain why he trained the 54th in the manner he did. Hard training saves spilled blood which then saves lives.
Those who say get over it in that manner never been through it cheers to your mates
Yeah, war changes you. Life goes on though whether if one would want it to or not.

Everyone deserved an Oscar for this film
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.
He was Shaw.
Who?
He did a Fantastic job he has Soo much range as an Actor
@@The2ndFirst he was Shaw the way Jeff Daniels was Colonel Chamberlain and Tom Berenger was General Longstreet they absolutely embodied their roles.
That do be a convenience eh, also Major Forbes, his actor was based as well
Almost didn't recognize Andre Braugher from Brooklyn nine-nine. He smiles so much.
RIP
Only the voice was the giveaway lol
That was Captain Holts Great Grandfather😤😏
@@CCNYMacGuy You were originally how I learned he dies... the was weird.
wait...thats the same guy????
When I watched this the first time I didn’t catch it at 1:14 that Robert was suffering from PTSD from Antietam.
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.
Same for me, saw it as a kid. I served many years later, and it made alot more sense.
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.
@@forsakenace9577 Very powerful scene. You can even hear Shaw's commanding officer shouting for a few moments
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
"No choice. All the other officers are dead."
(Laughs because he has no understanding at all yet.) 0:52 Damn.
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
Matthew Broderick, Cary Elwes, Morgan freeman, Denzel Washington, and Andre Braugher..... Did I forget anyone?
Jimhi Kennedy who played Sharts- his role was vastly underrated
Martin Lawrence and Donald Trump.
@@robertschris82 where were they?
Dude that played Fredrick Douglas waited his whole life to play that role and fit it tremendously
Born and raised about 25 miles from me in Rochester NY
Raymond St.Jacques

This film is a classic,much underrated great film
I freaking love Glory! It’s a film I’ll cry every time I watch it, but it’s always worth it.
1:26 For a second I thought that there was a 19th century SteamPunk TV with CNN running in the background.
the look of wild discomfort always on shaws face everywhere he goes is so real
Fantastic movie!!! Thank God for the USCT. If you don't know, look up Camp William Penn near Philadelphia.
I love this film.
Apparently the actress who starred as Shaw's mother was not credited. Does anyone know why?
Is this Dick Winters and Louis Nixon,…circa Civil War?
That final look from Shaw like "man, we got a long way to go"
What is the name of the military song that plays in the background?
6 months late, but it's "Jefferson and Liberty"
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.
2:40 hey is that Lawrence Fishburne in the background? I just noticed that
I don't think so but there's a resemblance.
This my movie
Awesome movie
“I’m gonna do it” “You’re not serious” “yeah”
The dialogue seems a little too modern at times. I wonder if this is how people talked.

Is that Yiddish? Or Hebrew?
@@TheParkerThirteen hebrew
@@TheParkerThirteen
Yiddish is some kind of Hebrew dialect specific in Germanic regions of Europe, Eastern Europe. Somewhere around those parts.
what speech, or did they 100% botch the title of the vid
click bait for views... i just thumb down all of these and report for misleading title.
The speech starts at 5:50 and when he's finished his men do sound inspired.

To many Northerners at the time. Many considered it "Lincoln's War" and wanted no part of it.
