- It is said that Matthew Broderickhas a distant blood relationship with Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, who he plays.
- Jane Alexander played the mother of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. She had a lot of scenes, but it was basically deleted due to the length of the film. Many shots of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and Major Cabot Forbes going to school together.
- Many of the scenes in the film are taken from a parade in 1988 to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, which was attended by 15,000 people.
- There is a scene in the film where soldiers are playing baseball, and then they are dismissed because they have not settled on some of the problems of the rise of baseball, but there is no doubt that the development of this sport was promoted during the Civil War.

I was going to give it only two stars, but I added one to Denzel Washington. In all fairness, I like this director very much, but can the movie end without having to fight, spray some blood, and die in honor? At around 100 minutes, the movie could have ended successfully with a salute to Shaw on the beach, and just listing the casualties is heartwarming enough. Before the big scene, you still need to think about whether you need a big scene. White space is a science.

The story of the success of the fool + the love of partners + the golden fleece, the illiterate and ignorant fish out of the water, resolve conflicts and become complete when getting along, and finally pursue a common mission. The highlight of this film is that everyone in the 54th Army is a fish out of the water. Colonel Robert did not understand military training and politics at first (because the 54th Army can go to the battlefield naturally), did not understand how to understand black soldiers; Forbes always confuses personal affairs with official duties; black soldiers do not know the discrimination of northern whites; Trip-among black soldiers The fish out of the water-a sense of reality but no sense of mission. In the end, they all perfected themselves and formed a cohesive team. The downside of this film is that everyone outside the 54th Army is too facial. The 54th Army was highly motivated because of its mission, but other black legions were content with burning, killing and looting; Robert and Forbes believed in the liberation of blacks, while other whites (regardless of rank) regarded blacks as slaves of freedom.
