The movie "Glory" is about a colored regiment, 54th Massachusetts. This regiment was not only soldiers, but black soldiers. Even through all the pain, they endured and fought till the end. This regiment should be recognized more becuase this was a unique, different regiment.
I got surprised at how the colored soldiers fought. They fought with courage and strength. Not only were they normal soldiers, but some got ranked up to Sergant like Rawlings. He is a wise man in the army. All of this made me think of equality. The African Americans fought just like the regular American soldiers. They all fought for their Union and tried to do their best. There should be no reason of racism in the army because all of the soldiers fought the same way and for the same purpose.
This movie was not a "Hollywood" movie. It was different and more significant. This movie showed a purpose of a moment in history that was important. This movie showed how the colored regiment was treated. Even though they might be treated unfairly, they took it and just fought side by side with the American soldiers. Plus, they were the first to make the charge through the fort to try to capture it and defeat the Confederates. There is an important meaning behind this movie. People made this movie to show people how it was back then during the Civil War. They want to make the Americans know how wrong of it was to do that back then. "Hollywood" is not the movie type that "Glory" portrays.
