Hey guys! At long last, here is the full reaction to Glory. The sound is not great as I had mic issues again (sorry about that!). I'm so sad because this was such a good movie but hopefully you can hear it alright. I couldn't keep it together towards the end. This movie was eye opening and so so sad. Hope you enjoy the reaction and have a great Tuesday!

"I love the 54th." Excellent choice for Black History month.

Just watched the full reaction with the film. Wow. I've been watching this film for most of life. It's my 3rd favorite war film after Apocalypse Now and Saving Private Ryan. Usually when I watch Glory, I cry. But just now watching it with you I cried more than I ever have. I just about bawled. But I needed that. Thank you, Cassie. And though I'm curious about the lost the outro , I think the one you ended up using was really great.

Oh, and James Horner's score for this film is astounding. One of the best ever, I think.

There are very few moments in time that change the course of the world. The parade if it were true was one of those moments.

RJ MacReady

The crazy part is the beginning battle "Battle of Antietam" was a Union victory.

Eddie Collison

The next best Civil War movie that has a heavy impact is 'The Conspirator', with James McAvoy, about the Lincoln assassination. You would be a guaranteed wreck though.

Man I love this movie. Far as I'm concerned it's one of the best war movies ever made.

in regard to the mean tactics used in training, it is necesaary. its to break a person down mentally as well as physically, and then to build them back up as a soldier, well disciplined, mentally and physical capable to carry out orders. when i was in, that was the experience in basic training. you go in as strangers and finish as brothers. things get better when you finish training and join a unit, where the real training occurs with the unit you'll go to battle with. its often said that soldiers fight in war not so much for the cause, but for each other. you guard their life as much as your own and that is the result of hard training - mentally and physically. its a way of life after that becaue it changes you.

I remember I was in college when this came out. I was taking an military history class and my professor couldn't stop raving about it. The score was perfection, written by maestro James Horner (R.I.P.) with the Harlem Boys Choir. It also resulted in Denzel Washington's first academy award win.

Rick Williams

Powerful movie. One of the best war movies.

It’s been ages that I’ve seen this one. I do remember the first time I saw it, was in 8th grade history class. Needless to say I didn’t appreciate than like I do now as an adult. A well deserved Oscar win for Denzel Washington. Speaking of which there should definitely be a “Denzel Washington movie poll” in the future. Among the choices should be; Malcolm X, Philadelphia, Training Day, Man on Fire, John Q, The Bone Collector, Fallen, Inside Man, Fences. Crimson Tide.

I've been meaning to do the watch along thing since you posted it, but circumstances pushed it back to the middle of my vacation. Another wonderful, honest reaction to a serious but amazing film. I think the performances were magnificent. Other commenters have mentioned how the film did not really explain how important Shaw's burial with his men actually was. I am thankful that you were willing to make another tough decision to watch a difficult movie. BTW, the asshole Colonel was James Montgomery (played by Cliff De Young).

A heartfelt genuine reaction about one of my all time favorite movies ever. I saw this one in history class when I was 17. It ha stuck with me since. Thank you Cassie for an emotional reaction such as that.
