Fight like a man

When Morgan Freeman slapped Denzel Washington, he said, don't complain about the world, fight like a man! This is my favorite line of dialogue.

When I saw the Wenchuan earthquake, many teenage child soldiers trained for many days. They were sent to the front for the first time, but were arranged to dig out a large number of simple graves every day. I remembered this movie. As a soldier, it is sad not to go to the battlefield, and it is very likely that the next grave will be dug for you.

Today, more than 100 years later, Obama has the same firm eyes as Denzel Washington played the role of Ze at the time. He has realized the great dream of black people becoming the president of the United States. I think of this movie again. Remember Denzel Washington’s serious joke the first night when black people slept in the same tent? "I went to run for the president, but I was not elected."

    A movie that looks like the American Civil War actually talks about race and equality.

    Too provocative is a failure

Glory quotes

  • Colonel Robert G. Shaw: Before this war began, many of my regiment had never seen a Negro. Now the roads are choked with the dispossessed. We fight for men and women whose poetry is not yet written but which will presently be as enviable and as renowned as any.

  • Major Forbes: [as Col. Shaw is writing, Maj. Forbes approaches him with a letter from President Lincoln] They've done it.

    Colonel Robert G. Shaw: [Shaw reads the letter] Assemble the men.

    [54th is in formation in the pouring rain in the Camp Readville common area]

    Colonel Robert G. Shaw: In accordance with President Lincoln's wishes, you men are advised that the Confederate Congress has issued a proclamation. It reads: 'Any negro taken in arms against the Confederacy will immediately be returned to a state of slavery. Any negro taken in Federal uniform will be summarily put to death. Any white officer taken in command of negro troops shall be deemed as inciting servile insurrection and shall likewise be put to death.' Full discharges will be granted in the morning to all those who apply. Dismissed.

    Colonel Robert G. Shaw: [turning to Forbes after dismissal of troops] If you're not here in the morning, I'll understand.

    Trip: [turns to Sharts] Still want that blue suit, nigger?
