The content of "Glory" was originally richer, including the commoner Xiao, his love experience, and the scene of the magnificent gathering of the African Americans called by Frederick Douglas to fight the war. It was the most accurate Douglas I have ever seen. It is also the best speech I have ever heard in a movie.
There were even shots of young Xiao Xiao, showing that he was deeply influenced by abolitionism since he was a child, as well as his intimate feelings with his mother, inheriting the noble spirit of his mother. Can you imagine Xiao saying goodbye to his newlyweds before setting off?
It's a pity that these have all been cut off, because it will distract the narrative, and may be to divert attention from Xiao's biopic to praise the sacrifice of the team and the blacks.
In other words, "Glory" may have been a movie full of historical sense, but it was eventually cut into the kind of petty look we see today. The eloquent voice of Douglas, who called for the war of resistance in the dark, became a cutscene with only two lines, and the audience would never know from the movie that Xiao was just married before he went out.
The above are the facts of being castrated, let’s talk about the distorted facts:
Colonel Montgomery: a noble hero demonized
Why are these shortcomings worth five stars? It is purely because of other works.
