Tombstone

   I really enjoyed this movie, after seeing it a second time I looked at if a different way. When I first saw it sophomore year, it was just ok to me. But now with a little more background information on the topic it was more enjoyable. My favorite character is Doc Holliday he was pretty cool, he was a sick drunk but still one of the best gun slingers in the wild west. 

  Honestly I don't really know what makes an event legendary, or a person. It would have to be on the decisions they made I guess or the way people looked at them after the decision. The biggest thing that appealed to me about the wild west is the way people could go with nothing and leave very rich.

    Since Morgan Freeman was in it I automatically knew it was going to be a decent movie, but it was better than I had anticipated. Before this i had heard about the 54th and knew a little about them but not much. Even though the movie wasn't 100% accurate it gave me a much better idea of what those men did. 

   U.S. history contains the stories of many men and women who served their country at great risk to their own lives and who died as a result.  Those people are heroes in my book, in my opinion I think it would be a honor to die for your country. To be so passionate about freedom that you would be willing to sacrifice your life to just obtain it says somethings about a persons character. In my opinion I think the men of the 54th and Shaw are heroes, as well as all the other people who lost their lives during battle. 

   The significance of the 54th is huge, it showed people at that time that African-Americans weren't inferior to he whites and are capable of fighting with proper battlefield technique.
