Same here. I think that’s love of country just shinning through. These men gave everything. Our men and women continue put it all on the line no matter what for us and our freedom everyday.
Im the same way and always wondering why the other regiments didnt follow the 54th shortly after they made it to the fort. like, by the time they made it to the base, had the other regiments been like 200-300 meters behind them, they probably could have taken the fort no problem.
@@graceskerp There you are. When and if I appear at unlikely times to upvote your comments, this sort of thing is why. Well done, Madam. You remain a delight for your literary quality.
Actually, when I first saw this, I didn't realize that they DIDN'T make it until I saw the Confederates bury Shaw and Denzel (forget his character's name), and I was even admittedly still scratching y head and trying to convince myself that maybe they did as the credits started rolling. 🤣
@@dre3k78 Merci mon ami.. longue vie a l Amerique! (thanks my friend.. long live the United States).. French Canadian here and love my friendly neighbors to the south ;-)
That was awesome, especially considering it was the same guy who gave them problems when his unit was passing through. And the cheers they got? Chilling.
This scene, to my mind, is one of the best, if not THE best, lit and staged ever to make it to celluloid, and should be used in ALL potential movie makers classes/seminars etc, as a " This is how it should be done " example.
This won best cinematography, and I am going to watch it now to remember. I have this nostalgia for this film. Born in 1989, for one. I loved war films and this one was especially melancholy, even during times of joy. A mesh of reality, ignorance, idealism into one.
This song is brilliant as a stand alone piece. The added back story and visual of the charge on Fort Wagner!! It is difficult for me to not get filled with emotion every time I see it. Excellent job by all involved, this final scene contributes much to making Glory 1 of my all time favorite films.
The 54th attacked in July 1863, and while they lost, they did a tremendous amount of damage. After 60 days of shelling, the fort was abandoned on September 7th, 1863.
Because the Confeds were Unfortunate enough to Bury the Dead Bodies near a Fresh Water supply, which in turn the Bodies decomposed and Poisoned the Water supply which so they had to Abandon the Fort.
The 54th Massachussets lost 116 enlisted men at Fort Wagner. They went missing. It is too bad most Massachussets citizens have mostly forgotten about what liberties these men fought and died for.
The emotionally stirring climactic music to the ill-fated Union assault on Fort Wagner, from the late James Horner's magnificent score to the equally magnificent film 'Glory' (1989). I detect the influence here of the first half of the equally dramatic 'O Fortuna' (from 'Carmina Burana') by Carl Orff.
There's an interview with Horner somewhere about this piece. The director used 'O Fortuna' as a temporary score for this scene and specifically asked Horner to mimic the piece. It ended up being a legal game of Chess as the director wanted the feel of O Fortuna but couldn't get too close to Orf's music without suffering legal ramifications.
@@brmadden895 Horner dealt with a lot of shit regarding his tendency to mimic music as a whole and reusing some parts of his previous works in movies - tbh in my opinion, I think that this is why his scores are so perfect and memorable. They always fit, and the moment I usually start to bawl my eyes out is when I recognize his distinctive crescendos, choirs, bells or anything that make my brain go "that's it, that's his music".
One of the greatest films of all time and one of the most powerful scores I have ever heard. Every piece of emotion is captured in it. I'll never forget the first time watching this movie, I was 13 years old. Should be required viewing for kids so generations never forget the sacrifices made and lives lost.
@@zhukov7923 the 54th are the ultimate warriors of time, that actually fight for a good cause, meanwhile spartans fought for slavery and expansion of it
@@commander_expendable Spartan' trained their entire lives for combat, and were far more experienced and skilled in terms of combat and the ability to fight effectively. No matter what the Spartans did or did not fight for their place will always be the greatest warriors in history.
@@zhukov7923 The Spartans were warriors because they were brainwashed and trained from birth to serve the state. Usually they fought only by the will of those who commanded them, not because it was what they believed in their hearts. Black Union soldiers fought not because someone in charge ordered it to be so, they fought for the liberation of their people and free them from bondage.
Even though we will never forget what Lincoln did that he gave African American people a chance to fight for their freedom, and abolish slavery. This is very sad for all of us Americans have suffered to keep the struggle and pain through years. Brothers against brothers, fathers against sons, cousins against cousins, uncles against uncles, nephews against uncles. We as a nation was split into two for so many reasons, but in the end one took all of the glory. Salute to all of our ancestors who fought in the bloody years of the Civil War we will remember their sacrifice to the end of history. "So help you God" - 54th Massachusetts Infantry.

I grew up watching this movie over and over again. It is still one of the best and this score always sends chills and makes me want to charge in One Galliant Rush and yell, "Come On 54!!!!!!" Thank you Mr. Horner for this masterpiece. I hope everyone gets a chance to not only see this 1989 epic film, but listen to this amazing soundtrack.
She did it good! A little embellishment, nice airy Voice! Everyone adds their own twist to it! I’ve sang it many times and it’s not an easy song to sing. Congrats
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR A LONG TIME AFTER HEARING IT IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAILER. I'VE SEEN GLORY IN SCHOOL LONG TIME AGO AND JUST RECENTLY GOT IT NOT REALIZING THE SONG WAS IN THIS MOVIE.
I just watched it again - this song is one of my favorite scores. This whole battle is so very special in every way. Americans of all ethnicities would be greatly enriched if they understood fully what these men did for our freedom. 🇺🇸❤️
When I was a child, all kinds around me were watching fairy tales... but my best memories are, when me and my daddy were watching this movie... we had our 3 best movies... Son of the morning star, Battle of Stalingrad and Glory... it should be weird but this brings me so many lovely memories
Just beautiful. I liked the scene where the Major rides up to the front. Yells at the drummer boys " You men are dismissed as strecture bearers. Leave now!"
2:24 This is such a great musical deception. The first time I saw the movie, I knew the history of the battle, but that music made me think "Damn. The 54th might just pull this off!"
They all know they are not coming back alive from the battle, they still charged the fort with no fear. To-day those brave doctors, nurses and other medical personnels are going to battle everyday to save lives. They all know they are risking their own lives too, they still going. They are also can classified as BRAVE WARRIORS.

At 0:15 and on, it’s like hearing the wails of mothers (Whites & Blacks) on the deaths of their sons, the beloved Unions. To the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, thanks you for your service, and THANK YOU for your sacrifices you gave to make our country what it is today
No matter how many times I watch this scene, some part of me always expects that the 54th will pull it off.
Uncle Buckle same man
Same here. I think that’s love of country just shinning through. These men gave everything. Our men and women continue put it all on the line no matter what for us and our freedom everyday.
Yes...….because it would have been the right result.
Uncle Buckle EVERY!!! SINGLE!!! TIME!!!! I would cheer them on, and say “GO GO GO!!!” LONG LIVE THE LEGACY OF THE 54TH!!!

I get chills everytime I listen to this song..
Horner specifically used the Harlem Boys Choir and it is indeed glorious. The greatest battle hymn ever written for the brave men of the 54th.
agree 100%
Yes, this is one of the very few civil war movies that treated the civil war-like what it WAS and not what Confederate revisionism wants it to be.
That scene was so uplifting and heartbreaking
I still cry when I see this movie 😥

Who else had to fight back tears...

THEY WENT TO WAR
THEY FOUND GLORY
It's useless trying to fight back the tears, I've seen the movie more than a dozen times and I cry my heart out every time!
Me dude, I was trying so hard to hold it
Like Shakespeare once wrote:
"Cowards die many times ...brave men only once."
(Julius Caesar 2:2)

Was anyone else at 0:12 expecting to hear, "COME ON!!!!"
I will.
Hahahahaha me too !!!!!!!!!
Yes... Love this scene/ music.. Rip James Horner
I expected to hear the canon at the end
Fight for it!
That ending just makes you're heart drop. They were almost there. The final charge.
They made it to the c
Heart of the fort
But they couldn't strike the killing blow

@@franconway3979 fun fact, the actor who said that is one that did the screenplay for the movie, Kevin Jarre.

It's the only scene in a film to actually bring a tear to my eye.
It is definitely one, if not the best, "Rallying Charge" scenes in war films.

One of James Horner's best scores to s truly great film. His legacy lives on through the movies that he wrote the music for..And Glory is one.
Emmanuel Williams this one's the best IMO
This music alone made it one of the best war movies of all time.
The most heartbreakingly uplifting music to exist.
RIP James Horner.
The music really made me want to join in the assault. It has that drive to it.
Same.

This score really captures the emotion felt as they see Colonel Shaw killed and the 54th charging into battle. I love this movie.
This is like going into Orff's O Fortuna level of epic.
One of James Horner's best compositions by far
I was 10 when I watched this movie for the first time. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard in my life.
That turnaround at 1:50 ... powerful!

Major Forbes' yell! 😍
That score to that film was so incredible
If I had to pick one cue from James Horner as my favourite, this is it.
Rest in Peace James Horner
I still get emotional when i hear this.
keep scoring jimmy! you be the man!
On second thought, Jimmy. Score while you're in heaven. May your soul rest in peace! :(

Gahh, those tubular bells at the beginning always send shivers down my spine.
"RALLY"

I can hear Thomas' battle cry!
1:58 - 2:02 i am visioning of the burning tower
Would absolutely love to hear and see this piece performed live.

+MikeWolf Clown And it's about as dangerous, too! ;)
At the start of the choruus, it reminds me of the Soviet Army theme from Call of Duty: World at War
omg so funny. I'm picturing that right now. 😂😂😂

Horner can elevate a movie like few can. This scene is a fine example of just how good he can do that.
This pumped me up but then....😢
One of the Bast piece fo music I've ever Heard. Absolutely Epic and Mind Blowing. Egal to O Fortuna from Carl Orff.
"Bring me everyone.."
"sir"
"EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Fight for what you believe in.
“Remember
The Judge will descend from Heaven
All, All will be closely judged (examined)
The trumpet trembles and shakes when
The Judge closely judges!
The remainder will be shaken when
He has descended upon us!
The trumpet will send its wondrous sound
Amongst all the world's sepulchers
To gather all.
The Written Record will be brought forward
In which all deeds of the world are contained.
Therefore when the judge sits [in judgement],
All the appear before Him, none will be exempt.
The trumpet will call me forth When
The Judge descends to gather all.
The remainder, each one,
The remainder, each one,
Judged only when He sits
To examine each and every one!
Scattered [before thee?]; free me, before your Throne
All are scattered, free me, free me, Knowing me
[completely]
Great Trembling then will be
When the Judge has come
To examine all before Him!”
