      the director said

      Since the late 1980s, the American film and television industry has produced a number of film and television programs featuring black people as the protagonists and depicting their lives and histories. Some critics have pointed out that this is just a tactic used by Hollywood to attract large black audiences; especially in southern states with a large black population, movies are still the main form of entertainment, and movie theaters are still a place frequented by young people. Some...

      Where to remember?

      Morgan and Denzel, I can't say who I like more. The film of 1989 is quite satisfactory! 2 favorite actors, although they were only small coffees at the time, they still made me feel a lot.

      The script can be polished more finely, such as:

      The main black characters all arrange tens of seconds or a minute or so of tragic past flashbacks;

      Shawn's idealism and heroic plots are properly interluded to pave the way;

      Lincoln and Congress competed with the Confederate Army to...

      American Spirit American Dream

      There is no need to say more about the plot. You can roughly guess the content of this theme by reading the introduction, not to mention it is adapted from real people. The American theme film in 1989 is still fascinating to watch. To some extent, it tells the origin of the American spirit. Those black people who have been slaves for generations have realized their glorious American dream in the war.

      Just wanted to rant about the age-old problem of racism. If it is said that people of...

      American Civil War Art Film

      A war biopic reflecting the American Civil War period, the whole film has a sense of music, the picture processing is slightly worse, and the plot is more harmonious. Among them, it highly restores the real battle scene of the breech gun era in the 19th century. It is not very shocking in comparison, but it is in line with the development of the plot, but the portrayal of the characters in the play is too artistic, and the motives for inciting the emotions of the audience are more obvious!...

      If I should fall, remember what you see here

      "...But this time we're going to build a nonpartisan nation. Let all Americans have the freedom to speak...We fight for the men and women who have yet to write the epic of their lives, and who deserve as much respect as anyone else."

    Behind the scenes gags

    It is said that Matthew Broderick (mother of Polish descent, father of Irish descent) has 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...

    Evaluation action

    "Battle of Glory" expresses America’s birth pain with firmness and clarity, and racism is a morbid existence in its composition. There is no doubt that their great victory is exciting. The film was full of strong power during the filming process. When the regiment rushed into a beach and passed through the clouds of gunfire, heroism was obviously something that was not affected by color. However, the dim simplicity of the film makes...

    • Sgt. Mulcahy: [berating Private Trip] You half-wit black bastard! Did they truly cut your balls off at birth? I'm gonna work on you, you bastard, until I get you broken.

    • Sgt. Mulcahy: [mocking Searles' manner of walking] Oh, look at this, Bonnie Prince Charlie! Are you a gentleman? Are you a member of Congress or something? Or are you the bloody Prince of Africa?

      [Searles looks at the sergeant indignantly]

      Sgt. Mulcahy: Don't look at me, look straight ahead! I'll eat your ass up, boyo!

      Major Forbes: [observing the drill with Shaw] You know, the Irish are not noted for their fondness for the colored.

    • John Rawlins: [has been appointed Sergeant Major] I ain't sure I'm wantin' this, Colonel.

      Colonel Robert G. Shaw: I know exactly how you feel.
