Wow! So happy I stumbled across this. Glory is my all time favorite movie. In the early 90’s when I was a teenager i was obsessed. Used to watch it every day after school. Wore multiple tapes out. I also had the documentary that went along with it. I started doing re-enactments and was an extra in the movie Gettysburg. Belonged to the 20th Maine re-enactment group out of Lebanon Maine. Glory also inspired me to join the army which I ended up doing in 96‘. Served six years! To think after so many years I would stumble across more scenes from a movie that was so beloved to me. Thank you so much!! This truly made my day. Hell, it made my year!

Very cool. I was an extra in the Antietam battle scenes which were filmed at a location about an hours drive south of Atlanta in early April, 1989. We were the only “real” Yankees in the Union army. I brought down about 30 guys, mostly from Michigan, Indiana and Ohio with a few more from Pennsylvania, Illinois and Kentucky. It was great fun plus they fed us well and paid us and we got mileage. I may or may not be in the Antietam scene in the distance, it’s hard to tell.

Sorry for my bad englisch. I'm german. I've seen Glory so many times. It's one of my all time favorites. The grave scene with Mathew Broderick and Denzel Washington is for me one of the most emotional scenes.I love this movie and hope to see one day a full HD directors cut. Thanks for this footage
The Battle of Antietam was fought in my backyard(well part of it) here in Maryland.. I have found many artifacts in my yard,even a rusty old mortar while planting a tree,many round shots,and several 58 cal. Springfield "mini balls" and to see the size of one and think that this projectile went through a human being, a body and whoever it was probably fell right there.. very chilling to me,crazy holding these things in my hand and knowing what they were used for.. and Harper's Ferry West Virginia is right across the river from me
One of my middle son’s most prized possessions is a civil war mini ball bought at a history/military flea market. He’s 12 and a huge history buff and military nut. He wants to join the army but of course as a mom I hate the thought of this. 😢
Glory, it is my personal favorite movie. It gets to me every time I watch it. The action the bravery the sacrifice the cause. The amazing actors and acting it’s just so good!!!
This has been one of my favorite movies since it first came out. I began following everything Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman did after that. The lengthy documentary Freeman did on this, which was included in my Deluxe DVD set, was amazing.
While it has its share of flaws, Glory is still probably the best Civil War epic ever made, and likely will never be topped in our lifetimes. Heck, I doubt that anyone will even attempt to make another.
@@user-pz7sl4qq9v Yes. Historic inaccuracies. One of the most blatant being that flogging/whipping was not a permissible corporal punishment in the Union or Confederate armies, and it certainly would have never been permitted by an ardent abolitionist the likes of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. Thats a gross, inflammatory and inexcusable breech of history. It made for great drama, and Denzel Washington may have won his Academy Award based on that scene, but it shouldn't have been included. The punishment for desertion was severe and often meant instant death by firing squad, but not flogging. The Navy, perhaps yes. The Army, certainly not.
@@Frank_nwobhm You're correct. Antebellum crime and punishment, like flogging and branding, was gone by 1861. I think the practices were officially discontinued in the months following First Bull Run but I could be wrong. Realistically Denzel would have been put in the stockade or administered a punishment that "un-manned" a soldier. That would often involve being tied to a post with a sign around the neck that said "deserter" or" shirker" on it. I would agree that the scene takes artistic license too hard. But I feel that is mitigated by how good Denzel is in that scene and the fact that Glory is a fantastic film overall.
I was able pt participate in the night battle scene with mass Union troops. Filmed at Jeckyl Island GA after midnight in two takes for director Ed Zwick. The Antietam battle scenes were filmed near Atlanta GA over a number of weeks.
The scene it itself is pretty good but I think cutting it was a smart move. This scene would have been between Shaw "convincing" the General to put the 54th into combat and the actual battle on James Island. As far as pacing, cutting from the General's luxurious office right to the 54th quick marching in the field is much smoother. This scene feels like an unnecessary detour. And as far as tone, Trip is clearly uncomfortable with the fact that he killed that young confederate soldier. It's an interesting dimension to his character but it's not consistent. The level of ferocity Trip shows in combat, to me anyway, indicates a person with great anger and hatred for who he is fighting. He's an escaped slave who has been serially abused and humiliated most of his life. In battle he finally has an outlet for all that pent up fury. Time for some payback lol.
Probably wanted to keep the war experience confined until they started storming Ft. Wagner. With this picker scene the war for one officially started with Silas Trip having reservations for what he did.
They used a lot of US army servicemen from the 24th Infantry Division Ft. Steward as extras. Probably weekend work that provided some extra income, soon they were off to Desert Shield / Storm.
There's a movie about a military academy that fought during the Civil War. Ages were probably 12-16. I wish I could remember the name. It's a great movie.
You're thinking of the the John Wayne movie "Horse Soldiers". There is a well known scene where the cadet compliment turn out in full kit and march to the "Bonnie Blue". It's one of the best renditions of the Bonnie Blue Flag fife and drum you will hear.
I was a participant in the making of the movie. Thank you for posting this as many memories, both good and bad are tied to that movie for me. What isn't discussed much, is that not only did the racial tension of the era present itself, but the modern racial tension of the day was also present behind the scenes of the movie itself. Truly a sad commentary on both the 1860's and 1989, at the time of producing the movie. I do hope in presenting these issues, that we as a nation can come together and march past them. Sadly, I don't believe it will happen in my life time.
@@rossdawgsbrokenspirit9038 We had to do several safety inspections on the muskets per day. due to them being loaded with harmful materials as projectiles meant to injure. And it was universally an issue on both sides of the racial divide. Please don't get me wrong, it was the few that ruined it for the many.
🤔🤔🤔??? Jim I'm glad you came out of that battle alive.Thats why we need THE CLEARWATER RAINBOW 🌈 MADONNA OF PEACE,AMEN. 🌈🌈🏰🏰🌈🌈THIS IS A FAIRY TALE COME TRUE.
I worked on it also. Set construction and special effects. I recall what you are speaking of here. I also recall some pretty cool things fom cast and crew. Morgan Freeman won my undying respect and I am still learning from my memories of the experience.
My only serious problem with the movie Glory is the depiction of the men who volunteered for the regiment. In the movie they are portrayed as runaway field slaves, servants, farmers and callous young men. They were, in fact, educated, business and property owners, workers and family men. The kind of men Frederick Douglas called for in the first colored regiment.
Smart of the director/editor to cut these scenes. Only the Fort Wagner footage could have been used; the actual ending was a bit too short. Andre Bragher 1962-2023
Absolutely when I saw it in the theater s when it came out blew my mind it started my Civil War journey now a proud associate member of the sons of union veterans of the Civil War and member of American battle field trust and Civil War historian since 1991
Glory left out all of the great sounding music played by the 54th Mass band during the 1860's.They played the following Abolitionist songs: 1-Kingdom Coming 2-The Battle Cry of Freedom and 3-The Battle Hymn of the Republic.🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵
Never saw the Apple Picker scene before. Denzel Washington's face reminds me of my own experience in Afghanistan. The excitement of doing it...then the morbid demoralization sets in when you realize it's another human being...a kid at that. Even if the enemy. If I saw this as a teen, it wouldn't have made sense. When I saw it today, I gotta say, Denzel really took that scene home.
"The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he came from. And if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would not rather have stayed there in peace. War will make corpses of us all."
Wish they had accurately depicted Sgt.. Wm Carney bringing the Union Flag back to Union lines, earning the 1st CMH awarded to a Black Man in the US Army. Look him up and read the history of it.
🤡 Clown-- I don't agree with you Carney was not the first black to win the medal of honor,I clown was the first.Don't argue with me I know what I'm talking about. What?No I did not say that! No I don't agree with you a black confederate was not the first to win the medal of honor.
They could have depicted it successfully in a storytelling sense, but then they'd have had to rewrite the entire ending sequence. They went with a more mythic and ethereal ending, as if filming everything through the shock and fog of a thousand yard stare. It worked really well.
I had a very good friend who was on a cannon crew for this movie . They dressed as Union Army for some sences and Confederate for other . What he told after returning from the movie was he found ramrods stuck in the sands of the Fort after filming fired by Union troops ,extras hired with little or no training LOL. After that nipples were removed from each rifle carried by actors of both sides LOL . My friend Walt's cannon was lining up on the first cannonade and again in the beach sence as Union Cannons . Interesting facts from 1989 filming
I think you could become an expert in warfare by reading every battle fought in every war. I don’t think anything could prepare you for wars fought up close and personal. So many young men killed violently throughout the ages. RIP to the fallen of all wars,no matter which side they fought. Never mix up the war with the warrior.
Well I can see why some of these clips were excluded. In the opening "Battle of Antietam" battle sequence, the Union Officer with binoculars was a bit over animated and clearly was leaping (and then rolling) before the explosion behind him even took place.
It's not perfect but it's a darned good piece of filmmaking. The only thing about the movie that drove me nuts was all the people who, when it came out, raced to be part of any interviews where they could say, "I'd never heard of this before now," to which any historian was screaming in their living rooms at their TVs, "PICK UP A BOOK SOMETIME!" as many people knew about these men who helped turn the tide of the war
🤡 Clown-- As a historian I do not agree with you.Those black soldiers did not turn the tide of the war.I can argue with you for hours but I turned the tide of the war by blowing my bad breath at the south.Now you know the real reason why Lee surrendered at Appomattox.
I have been a Civil War re-enactor, and while you can get an idea of what a Civil War battlefield looked like from the smoke generated by hundreds of rifled muskets firing, you can't really see how artillery actually worked. Civil War artillery fired round shot or shells at longer ranges, with fuses that would detonate after a certain amount of time. Civil War shells, unless they were of the heavier variety, rarely threw up huge volumes of earth and smoke. At close range[usually gauged as within rifle range]the artillery on both sides resorted to case shot and canister, which could cause horrific casualties, the closer the approaching enemy came.
loved glory, though none of the antietam sequences really show or explain how Antietam was considered a victory, which it surely was strategically and nothing less than a draw tactically. the fight has to be seen as a win because Lee accomplished nothing in the movement north and everything can only be seen as a total failure with heavy losses.
And McClellan could have completely destroyed Lee right then and there-and almost did with just localized attacks without committing any of his 20,000 reserves.
His character was more subtle but I think the actor who played the soldier with the stutter was an even better actor than Denzel in this. Very nuanced job he did. Jhimi Kennedy.
Napoleon Bonaparte said about battles.Make sure you have all your forces when going into battle. Hollywood needs to show the whole movie when they make a movie. Sometimes a better movie is made when nothing is left out.
@@reynaldoflores4522 Close to the truth. Napoleon sent Marshal Grouchy with a third of his Army on a wild goose chase after an elusive Blucher who was determined to meet Wellington at Waterloo. Wellington on the other hand left 10,000 men in far flung rear positions in Belgium in the event Napoleon made a breakthrough at the battle and needed a white Knight to black Bishop contingency.
🤡 Clown was present at the battle.The boogle men🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔 we're attacking the Fort🏰 but the racoons🦝🦝 inside the Fort drove off the boogiemen thus preserving their supply of acorns from the boogie people.Soldiers on both sides did not take enough baths so I have to say this about them 🦨🦨🦨😩😩🦨🦝🦔🤡🦨Pride🦨 comes before the fall.YO!🦔Union🦔😂😂🤣🤣YO!🦝Confederate🦝🐮🤣😂😅😆😆🤔🤔??
Seen this movie about a dozen times. I was surprised to see how many white troops were in many of the shots. The attack scene in the movie leads you to believe that it was just the 54th. Had a friend whose brother was hit behind Broderick in the Antietam scenes.
The assault on Fort Wagner is a great example. The Union troops made the assault with the ocean on their right flank, not on their left as depicted in the movie. This would effectivley be the equivilant of the Union defending Seminary Ridge during Pickett's Charge.
@@Frank_nwobhm Well, I think that's being a bit picky. The ocean is the ocean regardless of which side it's on. Seminary ridge was a very distinct landmark as opposed to the woods Pickett's men marched from. THAT would be a glaring error.
@@jeepliving1 Yeah, I know what you mean, but it would be such a small thing to get it right. When you look at the lay of the land, it would have been almost impossible for the attack to have come from the north of the fort. Another silly moment in the film is when the 54th Mass were issued their rifles. Morgan Freeman us reading serial numbers off of the rifles as he passes them out. Enfield rifles did not have serial numbers, and furthermore, the rifles wouldn't have been passed out willy nilly like that. The soldiers would have been formed in company and issued their rifle and leather accouterments in an orderly, military manner just as every item they were issued was done.
At 7:58, the as the Union soldiers attack the fort, there are some American flags in the background. Aren't there too many stars on the flags for the flags to be historically accurate? Same thing seems to occur in "Gods And Generals" when the flag is lowered at VMI at the beginning of the movie. Anyone know why?
I wish they would have kept the scene with Denzel's character shooting the young lad and feeling sad about it. He was always such a prick in the beginning and was always talking ill of white people. Seeing him sad over the death of a young white kid would have been a great scene for him to have in the movie.
Enjoyed seeing these takes. Glory, even with it’s flaws, was an enjoyable movie. A big error, they attacked the wrong direction in the movie. The Union forces attacked north toward Wagner, not south.
Used to show this in our history class back in the 90s. I sure doubt they are showing it today with all the politics and woke culture. Still a great film
It more likely Glory wouldn’t be shown in todays class rooms because some white parent would object that a movie that addressed slavery would make their white child uncomfortable or ashamed to be white. It s not woke culture that would be the problem here. It’s reactionary conservatives upset that you have a Civil War movie that takes the side of the Union and doesn’t go out of its way show both sides were heroes.
Would you mind explaining how 'woke culture' would play a part in this? 'Woke' is nothing more than a vain attempt to discredit people who are honest enough to admit some events in our history did play out the way they have been portrayed. Example: Slaves lived a carefree life evidenced by how they were always singing. I fail to see how this movie warrants that kind of ridicule. If anything, confederate wannabes might want to deny that Blacks had anything to do with their embarrassing defeat at the hands of those they fought the war trying to keep in slavery.
🤡Glory forget about Glory,,I wonder what life was like during the old fashion days of the 1990's?🤡YO? Norman teach me the history of the 90's so that I can make a movie about it to rival Glory YO!
I feel bad for the apple picker actor: "When I was 15 years old, I was in a scene in 'Glory' with Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman." Then his scene was cut out of the movie.
The Union forces referred to it as a "Fort", the Confederates called it "Battery Wagner", as it was just one of the defending Confederate batteries of the Charleston harbor defenses.
😳🤔, Why Whenever there is talk about America Civil War, there is no mention/ Movie/ Documentaries, etc of Black Soldiers fighting for the Confederacy Army either Voluntarily ( read the book 📕 Black Slaves Owners in South Carolina) or Force 😳🤔
Interesting that the deleted scenes depict the white units that came up in support of the 54th at Wagner. It really reminds you of the true scale of the battle but I understand the artists choice of focusing on just the 54th in the attack.
Yes, Glory was fantastic. However, some of the scenes and dialogue, do not fly in today's America. The scene between Trip/Washington and Rawlins/Freeman, would be deleted today. Where Rawlins slaps Trip... Then tells him off. Morgan Freeman OWNED that scene. His criticism of Trip and his description of "white boys dy'n by the thousands, I know, I dug the graves", would never be allowed. I literally cried every time I saw the end for a couple years (which was often). Americans coming together, instead of being torn apart. Was a long time ago. Still love and respect both Freeman and Washington. ua-cam.com/video/FFWLkCnT50s/v-deo.html
I think the basic sentiment of that scene still flies in America today, just not in Hollywood. Which I personally find insulting because I have direct relatives that fought for the Union and to end slavery. But every-time I watch Glory, the power of that scene always floors me. Freeman plays it pitch perfect. He throughly humbles Trip and isn't gentle about it. Yet he still manages to be almost fatherly at the same time
"Times comin when we're going to have to ante up and kick in like men.......LIKE MEN!" The way Morgan Freeman said it made me feel like I could run through a wall.
@@karlmonet Then at the end, in the 54th prayer, Denzel just nails it as Trip comes forward and ends with "we men ain't we" 4 minutes m1 seconds into clip... ua-cam.com/video/ghOECZiycEk/v-deo.html
That Antietam Scene should never have been cut out of the movie, the same goes for the deleted battle scenes at Fort Wagner. By the way, in the German language the "W" has a softened "V" Sound. The Wagner Name is pronounced as Vagner.
@@Pdmc-vu5gj Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I watched some of this again. there's a rhythmic movement in the action scenes that works well with the background music. That's one thing that appeals to me about this movie.
The one thing that struck me about the production is watching the rubber bayonets bouncing on the front of the rifles. I appreciate the danger of using steel but it still makes it hard to watch.
@@josefmengele181 I kinda figured it wouldn’t to you, which speaks volumes. Anyone in those gray uniforms and their sympathizers were monsters just like nazis. And now that I paid attention to your screen name…I get it. 😏 Carry on I guess.
@@Docmananoff they fought against tyranny but I wouldn't expect a entitled no culture mook to understand you where better off in chains now go get into a beef with another jungle bunny and shoot eachother that's all your good for
so they did include the other brigades is the attack, fine enough visually to only focused on the 54th it was their story after all, but feels like they left out on a limb despite being told there would more forces behind them.....and only till the end of the movie do the ending credits say the others had attack.
A white regiment made the same charge the day before. If you watch the movie, the 54th lead the charge. They got to the walls of the fort, you tell me, where were the others? It doesn't take being a rocket scientist to figure out, they didn't get the support! It was not a brigade, they were regiments, that alone tells me you don't know what the hell you are talking about!
@@straydog2002 Errrr.... in reality, the 54th was supported by multiple regiments. General Strong himself lead the right flank in an attack on the fort more along the waterfront to take defensive pressure off the main attack spearheaded by the 54th. General Strong himself was mortally wounded as he lead the men in retreat.
@@eXcommunicate1979 BULLSHIT! It's the same throughout history, the Buffalo Soldiers lead the charge up San Juan Hill, but Teddy Roosevelt and his rough riders got all of the credit. During WWI the Harlem Hell Fighters were put on the front line with the French. Every other American unit were pulled back from RR during the war accept the 369th Infantry, they were there until the end of the war. When I unit feel that they are on their own with no support, they do extraordinary things. Read about them some time, it's American history.
Does it include the explanation that the uber-honorable, highly popular BG Charles G. Harker never fought in the East but was killed in Georgia at the age of 26?
I totally agree, but you can’t have real bayonets being thrown around like that. You’d figure that they’d be able to come up with a more sturdy rubber….
@@peterblum613 Not really for scenes when they are running and marching. I was an extra in Gods and Generals and we used real bayonets EXCEPT for the hand to hand scenes then we used "leftover" rubber bayonets from Glory.
Glad they left those scenes out of the movie. Need to give the Confederates more credit though. The main defense was carried by the 51st North Carolina. My state, and I'm not a bit ashamed.
I think this was the only movie I attended for which the entire audience applauded at the end.

There were German soldiers that fought for the Union as for the king of Great Britain as well during the Independence War.

Realistically Denzel would have been put in the stockade or administered a punishment that "un-manned" a soldier. That would often involve being tied to a post with a sign around the neck that said "deserter" or" shirker" on it. I would agree that the scene takes artistic license too hard. But I feel that is mitigated by how good Denzel is in that scene and the fact that Glory is a fantastic film overall.
the courage involved in a war such as this is beyond compare, it captures my heart in all these civil war movies
Dear MeicroDotTV ,You have great videos.May God bless you with video success through the CLEARWATER RAINBOW 🌈
MADONNA,AMEN.🌈🌈🏰🏰🌈🌈🏰🌈🌈
Love this movie. Much respect to the actors who portrayed the soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment.
I was able pt participate in the night battle scene with mass Union troops. Filmed at Jeckyl Island GA after midnight in two takes for director Ed Zwick. The Antietam battle scenes were filmed near Atlanta GA over a number of weeks.
"The Apple Picker" scene should have been included in the full movie.
The scene it itself is pretty good but I think cutting it was a smart move. This scene would have been between Shaw "convincing" the General to put the 54th into combat and the actual battle on James Island. As far as pacing, cutting from the General's luxurious office right to the 54th quick marching in the field is much smoother. This scene feels like an unnecessary detour. And as far as tone, Trip is clearly uncomfortable with the fact that he killed that young confederate soldier. It's an interesting dimension to his character but it's not consistent. The level of ferocity Trip shows in combat, to me anyway, indicates a person with great anger and hatred for who he is fighting. He's an escaped slave who has been serially abused and humiliated most of his life. In battle he finally has an outlet for all that pent up fury. Time for some payback lol.
@@Mc.Garnagle Good points all around. Especially in regard to pacing. Whether Trip would have shown remorse or not is certainly questionable.
Great scene but not that important to this magnificent movie.
Probably wanted to keep the war experience confined until they started storming Ft. Wagner.
With this picker scene the war for one officially started with Silas Trip having reservations for what he did.
These grown men were heart broken 💔 to see that their first casualty was a young boy.
Im sorry, but dude jumping like he is jumping off a diving board into a swimming pool at 0:39 is funny as heck
Needs the Wilhelm scream too
I think he farted
They used a lot of US army servicemen from the 24th Infantry Division Ft. Steward as extras.
Probably weekend work that provided some extra income, soon they were off to Desert Shield / Storm.
I hope that a film about the Battle of Chapultepec (1847) be produced in Hollywood someday.
I saw this movie when I was in history class. It's great and educational 😊
There's a movie about a military academy that fought during the Civil War. Ages were probably 12-16. I wish I could remember the name. It's a great movie.
It's called Boyz n Da Hood
You're thinking of the the John Wayne movie "Horse Soldiers". There is a well known scene where the cadet compliment turn out in full kit and march to the "Bonnie Blue". It's one of the best renditions of the Bonnie Blue Flag fife and drum you will hear.
I think it’s called field of lost shoes
Field of Lost Shoes
@@H0DLTHED0Rhe said military academy....not undisciplined street thugs
I was a participant in the making of the movie. Thank you for posting this as many memories, both good and bad are tied to that movie for me. What isn't discussed much, is that not only did the racial tension of the era present itself, but the modern racial tension of the day was also present behind the scenes of the movie itself. Truly a sad commentary on both the 1860's and 1989, at the time of producing the movie. I do hope in presenting these issues, that we as a nation can come together and march past them. Sadly, I don't believe it will happen in my life time.
what was going on behind the scenes of the film that was controversial?!
@@rossdawgsbrokenspirit9038 We had to do several safety inspections on the muskets per day. due to them being loaded with harmful materials as projectiles meant to injure. And it was universally an issue on both sides of the racial divide. Please don't get me wrong, it was the few that ruined it for the many.
🤔🤔🤔??? Jim I'm glad you came out of that battle alive.Thats
why we need THE CLEARWATER RAINBOW 🌈
MADONNA OF PEACE,AMEN.
🌈🌈🏰🏰🌈🌈THIS IS A FAIRY TALE COME TRUE.
I worked on it also. Set construction and special effects. I recall what you are speaking of here. I also recall some pretty cool things fom cast and crew.
Morgan Freeman won my undying respect and I am still learning from my memories of the experience.
My only serious problem with the movie Glory is the depiction of the men who volunteered for the regiment. In the movie they are portrayed as runaway field slaves, servants, farmers and callous young men. They were, in fact, educated, business and property owners, workers and family men. The kind of men Frederick Douglas called for in the first colored regiment.
Smart of the director/editor to cut these scenes. Only the Fort Wagner footage could have been used; the actual ending was a bit too short. Andre Bragher 1962-2023
A great movie that was ever told. They should keep making these .
Absolutely when I saw it in the theater s when it came out blew my mind it started my Civil War journey now a proud associate member of the sons of union veterans of the Civil War and member of American battle field trust and Civil War historian since 1991
I saw the movie in the theater when it first came out and while it was good I haven't been able to watch it again.
Glory left out all of the great sounding music played by the 54th Mass band during the 1860's.They played the following Abolitionist songs:
1-Kingdom Coming 2-The Battle Cry of Freedom and
3-The Battle Hymn of the Republic.🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵

Omgosh! These scenes tell so much more of what the story is.It needs to be reintroduced to a new public
Pure GREATNESS. 💯
🤡 I see your talking about me again.Thanks.
Never saw the Apple Picker scene before. Denzel Washington's face reminds me of my own experience in Afghanistan. The excitement of doing it...then the morbid demoralization sets in when you realize it's another human being...a kid at that. Even if the enemy. If I saw this as a teen, it wouldn't have made sense. When I saw it today, I gotta say, Denzel really took that scene home.
"The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he came from. And if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would not rather have stayed there in peace. War will make corpses of us all."
Wonder what happened to the other guy from their hut (the deaf/mute drummer)? Think he's referenced in " Glory" again but I'm not sure. Great Movie.
Wish they had accurately depicted Sgt.. Wm Carney bringing the Union Flag back to Union lines, earning the 1st CMH awarded to a Black Man in the US Army. Look him up and read the history of it.
🤡 Clown-- I don't agree with you Carney was not the first black to win the medal of honor,I clown was the first.Don't argue with me I know what I'm talking about.
What?No I did not say that!
No I don't agree with you a black confederate was not the first to win the medal of honor.
They could have depicted it successfully in a storytelling sense, but then they'd have had to rewrite the entire ending sequence. They went with a more mythic and ethereal ending, as if filming everything through the shock and fog of a thousand yard stare. It worked really well.
He's action was the first to merit the MOH during the war but not the first to receive the award.
My all time favorite movie next to Full Metal Jacket.
One of my favorite movies.I also like Vampira in Plan Nine From Outer Space,the only movie to scare me
I had a very good friend who was on a cannon crew for this movie . They dressed as Union Army for some sences and Confederate for other . What he told after returning from the movie was he found ramrods stuck in the sands of the Fort after filming fired by Union troops ,extras hired with little or no training LOL. After that nipples were removed from each rifle carried by actors of both sides LOL . My friend Walt's cannon was lining up on the first cannonade and again in the beach sence as Union Cannons . Interesting facts from 1989 filming
were injuries reported during the filming of the battle scenes?
I think you could become an expert in warfare by reading every battle fought in every war. I don’t think anything could prepare you for wars fought up close and personal. So many young men killed violently throughout the ages. RIP to the fallen of all wars,no matter which side they fought. Never mix up the war with the warrior.
Wish there was as many American Civil War movies and shows as there are World War II ones.
Beautiful shots.
I wish most of these had made it in.
Wow. Thanks for sharing.
Well I can see why some of these clips were excluded. In the opening "Battle of Antietam" battle sequence, the Union Officer with binoculars was a bit over animated and clearly was leaping (and then rolling) before the explosion behind him even took place.
🤡 I told that officer to lay off of those drugs.
It's not perfect but it's a darned good piece of filmmaking. The only thing about the movie that drove me nuts was all the people who, when it came out, raced to be part of any interviews where they could say, "I'd never heard of this before now," to which any historian was screaming in their living rooms at their TVs, "PICK UP A BOOK SOMETIME!" as many people knew about these men who helped turn the tide of the war
🤡 Clown-- As a historian I do not agree with you.Those black soldiers did not turn the tide of the war.I can argue with you for hours but I turned the tide of the war by blowing my bad breath at the south.Now you know the real reason why Lee surrendered at Appomattox.
Nobody reads history books unless they have to
Oh my god. I can’t believe I’m just seeing this now....
I have been a Civil War re-enactor, and while you can get an idea of what a Civil War battlefield looked like from the smoke generated by hundreds of rifled muskets firing, you can't really see how artillery actually worked. Civil War artillery fired round shot or shells at longer ranges, with fuses that would detonate after a certain amount of time. Civil War shells, unless they were of the heavier variety, rarely threw up huge volumes of earth and smoke. At close range[usually gauged as within rifle range]the artillery on both sides resorted to case shot and canister, which could cause horrific casualties, the closer the approaching enemy came.
Just noticed right now...at 11:05, the fort has the Unino National colors flying to the right side of the screen.
loved glory, though none of the antietam sequences really show or explain how Antietam was considered a victory, which it surely was strategically and nothing less than a draw tactically. the fight has to be seen as a win because Lee accomplished nothing in the movement north and everything can only be seen as a total failure with heavy losses.
Lee was forced to retreat. It was a tactical stalemate on the field, but strategically a significant victory for the North.
And McClellan could have completely destroyed Lee right then and there-and almost did with just localized attacks without committing any of his 20,000 reserves.
Lee told his army to quietly retreat at night while keeping their campfires burning.
His character was more subtle but I think the actor who played the soldier with the stutter was an even better actor than Denzel in this. Very nuanced job he did. Jhimi Kennedy.
Napoleon Bonaparte said about battles.Make sure you have all your forces when going into battle. Hollywood needs to show the whole movie when they make a movie. Sometimes a better movie is made when nothing is left out.
Duke of Waterloo to Napoleon:
" Next time, bring more men. "
That's why Lincoln fired McClellan.He bragged that he keep 20,000 out of the battle.
@@reynaldoflores4522 Close to the truth. Napoleon sent Marshal Grouchy with a third of his Army on a wild goose chase after an elusive Blucher who was determined to meet Wellington at Waterloo. Wellington on the other hand left 10,000 men in far flung rear positions in Belgium in the event Napoleon made a breakthrough at the battle and needed a white Knight to black Bishop contingency.
I saw the movie many years ago
It struck me as being very well done.
All movies have some inaccuracies.
As pertains to Civil War Movies want the events of the war, the battles period.
The war had enough drama without any side issues
My G. Grandfather, W. G. Mcfarlin of the 32nd Georgia was in Battery Wagner when the 54th attacked.
He was a rebel pro slavery. Puag!
He was a farmer defending his country with his neighbors.

Seen this movie about a dozen times. I was surprised to see how many white troops were in many of the shots. The attack scene in the movie leads you to believe that it was just the 54th. Had a friend whose brother was hit behind Broderick in the Antietam scenes.
What flaws?? Its the most accurate depiction of the Civil War to date!
The assault on Fort Wagner is a great example. The Union troops made the assault with the ocean on their right flank, not on their left as depicted in the movie. This would effectivley be the equivilant of the Union defending Seminary Ridge during Pickett's Charge.
pious cause narrative all the way!
@@Frank_nwobhm Well, I think that's being a bit picky. The ocean is the ocean regardless of which side it's on. Seminary ridge was a very distinct landmark as opposed to the woods Pickett's men marched from. THAT would be a glaring error.
@@jeepliving1 Yeah, I know what you mean, but it would be such a small thing to get it right. When you look at the lay of the land, it would have been almost impossible for the attack to have come from the north of the fort.
Another silly moment in the film is when the 54th Mass were issued their rifles. Morgan Freeman us reading serial numbers off of the rifles as he passes them out. Enfield rifles did not have serial numbers, and furthermore, the rifles wouldn't have been passed out willy nilly like that. The soldiers would have been formed in company and issued their rifle and leather accouterments in an orderly, military manner just as every item they were issued was done.
The Army banned flogging in 1861. The Denzel Washington character would not have been whipped.
10:41 The White Union brigade support for 54th Massachussetts colores regiment.
*9:39**" My idea or were the rifles made of rubber?*
LOL!!!! I just noticed that.
no excuse the chaos should be real.
At 7:58, the as the Union soldiers attack the fort, there are some American flags in the background. Aren't there too many stars on the flags for the flags to be historically accurate? Same thing seems to occur in "Gods And Generals" when the flag is lowered at VMI at the beginning of the movie. Anyone know why?
I wish they would have kept the scene with Denzel's character shooting the young lad and feeling sad about it. He was always such a prick in the beginning and was always talking ill of white people. Seeing him sad over the death of a young white kid would have been a great scene for him to have in the movie.
He is one of the best actors and plays his roles incredibly well.
Who is the hulky White officer encouraging the men?.10:00.
Yes glory needs to have a director's cut too
Enjoyed seeing these takes. Glory, even with it’s flaws, was an enjoyable movie. A big error, they attacked the wrong direction in the movie. The Union forces attacked north toward Wagner, not south.
🤡 Clown "No wonder they loss the battle they attacked from the wrong direction Thanks Doug you should of been the general
I believe it didn't look as good on camera so they switched it
First!
Definitely my favourite film ever!!!
Used to show this in our history class back in the 90s.
I sure doubt they are showing it today with all the politics and woke culture. Still a great film
It more likely Glory wouldn’t be shown in todays class rooms because some white parent would
object that a movie that addressed slavery would make their white child uncomfortable or ashamed to be white.
It s not woke culture that would be the problem here. It’s reactionary conservatives upset that you have a Civil War movie that takes the side of the Union and doesn’t
go out of its way show both sides were heroes.
Would you mind explaining how 'woke culture' would play a part in this? 'Woke' is nothing more than a vain attempt to discredit people who are honest enough to admit some events in our history did play out the way they have been portrayed. Example: Slaves lived a carefree life evidenced by how they were always singing. I fail to see how this movie warrants that kind of ridicule. If anything, confederate wannabes might want to deny that Blacks had anything to do with their embarrassing defeat at the hands of those they fought the war trying to keep in slavery.
🤡Glory forget about Glory,,I wonder what life was like during the old fashion days of the 1990's?🤡YO? Norman teach me the history of the 90's so that I can make a movie about it to rival Glory
YO!
They are showing it tomorrow at my school.
In movies, some of the best scenes are deleted
0:41 that guy said “weee” lol
And I say 🤡 YO!
I feel bad for the apple picker actor: "When I was 15 years old, I was in a scene in 'Glory' with Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman." Then his scene was cut out of the movie.
Does anyone know the musical score at 7:45 ?
The Union forces referred to it as a "Fort", the Confederates called it "Battery Wagner", as it was just one of the defending Confederate batteries of the Charleston harbor defenses.
WE NEEDED A DIRECTORS CUT!
😳🤔, Why Whenever there is talk about America Civil War, there is no mention/ Movie/ Documentaries, etc of Black Soldiers fighting for the Confederacy Army either Voluntarily ( read the book 📕 Black Slaves Owners in South Carolina) or Force 😳🤔
Interesting that the deleted scenes depict the white units that came up in support of the 54th at Wagner. It really reminds you of the true scale of the battle but I understand the artists choice of focusing on just the 54th in the attack.
what part of Sharpsburg were they recreating panoramically at the start?
“ I’ll see you in the fort Thomas”
how i can see all of these directors cut without youtube
I've seen these. There good especially the cherry picker scene. 😏
glory needed a sequel or prequl
Yes, Glory was fantastic. However, some of the scenes and dialogue, do not fly in today's America. The scene between Trip/Washington and Rawlins/Freeman, would be deleted today. Where Rawlins slaps Trip... Then tells him off. Morgan Freeman OWNED that scene. His criticism of Trip and his description of "white boys dy'n by the thousands, I know, I dug the graves", would never be allowed. I literally cried every time I saw the end for a couple years (which was often). Americans coming together, instead of being torn apart. Was a long time ago. Still love and respect both Freeman and Washington. ua-cam.com/video/FFWLkCnT50s/v-deo.html
I think the basic sentiment of that scene still flies in America today, just not in Hollywood. Which I personally find insulting because I have direct relatives that fought for the Union and to end slavery. But every-time I watch Glory, the power of that scene always floors me. Freeman plays it pitch perfect. He throughly humbles Trip and isn't gentle about it. Yet he still manages to be almost fatherly at the same time
"Times comin when we're going to have to ante up and kick in like men.......LIKE MEN!" The way Morgan Freeman said it made me feel like I could run through a wall.
@@karlmonet Then at the end, in the 54th prayer, Denzel just nails it as Trip comes forward and ends with "we men ain't we" 4 minutes m1 seconds into clip... ua-cam.com/video/ghOECZiycEk/v-deo.html
@@karlmonet Spoiler..then "TRIP" picks up the flag..."Come ON!!!!!!!!" Just pure cinematic magic.

were injuries reported during filming?
These people fought on the winning side. And was betrayed.
That Antietam Scene should never have been cut out of the movie, the same goes for the deleted battle scenes at Fort Wagner. By the way, in the German language the "W" has a softened "V" Sound. The Wagner Name is pronounced as Vagner.
I thought the Antietam scene was poorly done....the armies were larger and the movements of the soldiers in the scene looked unrealistic
@@Pdmc-vu5gj Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I watched some of this again. there's a rhythmic movement in the action scenes that works well with the background music. That's one thing that appeals to me about this movie.
@@Pdmc-vu5gj Plus it was very, very obviously filmed somewhere other than Antietam. There are no pine trees in Antietam.
It's only pronounced Vagner if you're a German or in Germany.
Remember seeing this. This a reupload?
The one thing that struck me about the production is watching the rubber bayonets bouncing on the front of the rifles. I appreciate the danger of using steel but it still makes it hard to watch.
We're going to see this again. Only it's going to be much bloodier. The United States is way too divided.

Because that would be the equivalent of a WW2 film where a holocaust survivor feels remorse for killing a young nazi.

@@Docmananoff they fought against tyranny but I wouldn't expect a entitled no culture mook to understand you where better off in chains now go get into a beef with another jungle bunny and shoot eachother that's all your good for
so they did include the other brigades is the attack, fine enough visually to only focused on the 54th it was their story after all, but feels like they left out on a limb despite being told there would more forces behind them.....and only till the end of the movie do the ending credits say the others had attack.
A white regiment made the same charge the day before. If you watch the movie, the 54th lead the charge. They got to the walls of the fort, you tell me, where were the others? It doesn't take being a rocket scientist to figure out, they didn't get the support! It was not a brigade, they were regiments, that alone tells me you don't know what the hell you are talking about!
@@straydog2002 Errrr.... in reality, the 54th was supported by multiple regiments. General Strong himself lead the right flank in an attack on the fort more along the waterfront to take defensive pressure off the main attack spearheaded by the 54th. General Strong himself was mortally wounded as he lead the men in retreat.
@@eXcommunicate1979 BULLSHIT! It's the same throughout history, the Buffalo Soldiers lead the charge up San Juan Hill, but Teddy Roosevelt and his rough riders got all of the credit. During WWI the Harlem Hell Fighters were put on the front line with the French. Every other American unit were pulled back from RR during the war accept the 369th Infantry, they were there until the end of the war. When I unit feel that they are on their own with no support, they do extraordinary things. Read about them some time, it's American history.
Does it include the explanation that the uber-honorable, highly popular BG Charles G. Harker never fought in the East but was killed in Georgia at the age of 26?

The rubber bayonets really ruined the scenes for me...
I totally agree, but you can’t have real bayonets being thrown around like that. You’d figure that they’d be able to come up with a more sturdy rubber….
@@dougm5341 agree, but throwing wobbly rubber bayonets around doesn't help either 😁
This is something they could fix digitally nowadays if they were to release a 4K deluxe version.
It would have ruined the scenes for the actors if they were real
@@peterblum613 Not really for scenes when they are running and marching. I was an extra in Gods and Generals and we used real bayonets EXCEPT for the hand to hand scenes then we used "leftover" rubber bayonets from Glory.
Glad they left those scenes out of the movie. Need to give the Confederates more credit though. The main defense was carried by the 51st North Carolina. My state, and I'm not a bit ashamed.
