Glory
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.
Thats so funny that you mentioned that about Morgan Freeman because I thought the exact same thing. Any movie he is in is always good. I also agree with your statement about how it would be an honor to die for your country. The african americans 100% displayed their pride on the battlefield and did it with great technique. I do wish it was a little more accurate as well about the story and how true it was.
ReplyDeleteI like your third paragraph and agree that blacks are more than capable to fighting like the whites. Also like how you called Shaw and the whole 54th hero's because they are.
