EDU ENT Glory. Now with @Lug awkward meltdown

[Jon91SE]

“Glory” is back on Netflix. Its about the first all black company in the civil war. Was released in 1989 and I remember it being one of the first movies that made me choke up when I was a kid. Very powerful flick

it should be on anyone’s top 10 watch list

 

[melroy]

Thanks I’ll probably never watch it because most movies released before dec 16 1989 sucked

 

[rebs]

Always liked that one. Was popular with the substitute teachers

Good film

Great film. Denzel's lashing scene and the final battle/ending was just

I think this may be the dumbest thing I have ever seen you post. What a stupid take..

Back when I was in 8th grade, our LA history teacher would turn Friday into movie day. We went through Roots, Roots: The Next Generation, and Glory. For the class before our Christmas break, I kid you not, we watched Roots: The Gift.

 

[ChemicalWhore]

Watched it in school

let me guess, green book and crash were also great films?

 

[hipberri]

stupid tactic to just charge with long guns
lmoa
camp out and snipe everyone tbh

Was okay with both. Not exactly rewatchable material like Glory is.

What other movies get you triggered as much as this? American History X? Forrest Gump?

 

[baboymo]

My first exposure to the Denzel.

[dave12219]

Profound statement, bro. You proved me wrong here. Damn.

 

[turbo35]

I remember the cannon scene from middle school.

We called it Gory.

dont you think white people realizing black people are “good” is a tired Hollywood troupe?

No. It's called having a story to tell. Glory explored the reality of black soldiers serving under a white man during the Civil War. Showed how both parties wound up bonding through everything. Including the end

Spoiler: Spoilers, just in case

where Broderick and Denzel were literally buried next to each other.

I mean, if you want to see an opposite version of it, go watch White Man's Burden with John Travolta and Harry Belafonte.

does Travolta dance in it? I love it when he dances.

It really could have used a dance. Shit was dark AF.

Ahh, you are a romantic...

do you think 1989 there were people proclaiming the brilliance of 1958 movies? For example, the best picture Gigi about a grown man in love with a child?

I’d like to think in 31 years our notion of race has evolved beyond Glory being a good race movie, IMHO.

Probably so. Especially since there are people to this day praising Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz. Your problem is your inability to see past racial issues. The point is, is that even In the worst of times like a war, people who are at exact ends of the social ladder can find a way to bond and become friends. It's not solely about "Yay, black people are good." I'm starting to wonder if you've ever even seen the movie.
