Film Review
"As for problems, well, they abound throughout the movie such as the profile of the regiment, which is presented primarily as a unit of fugitive slaves. Most of the men were free blacks from Massachusetts. Other problems include the time frame for the raising and training of the regiment which began in 1863 rather than 1862 as well as the failure to acknowledge Shaw’s marriage at any point in the movie."
My Paraphrase -
Glory was able to show some of the struggles of the 54th regiment, but not accurately such as the time frame it took place. Glory only consisted of fugitive slaves rather than free blacks from Massachusetts. The movie was able to show some but not all of the struggles of the regiment as they trained for battle. The movie also failed to acknowledge that Col. Shaw was married.
