    I loved how Forbes thought Shaw doing it was crazy, and was laughing. But he was so taken by Shaw wanting him to come lead alongside him, that somebody saw that he could lead, that he was flattered. Then at the end, when Shaw falls, he is fearless and shows what Shaw saw in him all along.

      I remember seeing Ferris Bueler become Shaw and it was a strange role to see him in, but I believe it was perfect for him. We saw him as a rich popular kid who did not belong in that role, which is basically who he is playing as Shaw, a rich popular kid who somehow becomes a Colonel in the Union Army, so it kind of fits perfectly.
      For the longest time I could not picture him as who he played because of who he is, but now as I am older I cannot picture anyone else in the role. Whenever I see Cary Elwes I just think of Princess Bride and the Dread Pirate Roberts. No one of consequence.@@edfelstein3891

    Forbes was such a great character. One of many great characters but to me he stuck out the most simply for his journey from a playboy, privileged soldier who has never been in charge of anything and has no confidence in himself whatsoever; to a man who took command of his regiment with sword and revolver in hand taking the 54th into the center of a fort that no regiment had any hope of reaching the walls of. He starts off as an obstinate, undisciplined, drunken buffoon and ends a badass. I can relate to him in a way as a screw up myself and more over it was just a great character arch that showed just how much Robert Shaws belief in his regiment and his personal cause of liberation and exaltation of African Americans, that no one in the 54th was the same by the end of his young life. This movie deserved its Oscar and should be required viewing in history classes. Simply brilliant work and a worthy tribute to the brave men of the 54th Massachusetts. Rest in glory lads. You earned it!

    • @KidFreshie
      @KidFreshie Год назад +14

      Forbes is Shaw's alter ego. In this scene, the left/right screen shows that Shaw is simply talking to himself. He's of two minds. He's conflicted. Forbes on the left is the side of Shaw that wants comfort and safety and has a lot of doubt. Shaw on the right is the bold, confident idealist. "I want you to come with me" is Shaw's entry to himself to go all-in and dismiss his doubts. Throughout the movie, Forbes emotes the conflict within Shaw, the temptation to not take any of this seriously and slack off. It's a brilliant use of the personification of conflict with oneself.

Major Forbes brought an air of genuine compassion and humanity to every scene he was in. He was and still is one of my favorite characters in this movie.

    At the beginning of the scene, you see Shaw's father pontificating as well as the others at a dinner party.
    I think Shaw needing to excuse himself was because he was the only one in the room who KNEW what was being asked of him.
    It's easy being all noble at a dinner party but it is a whole other thing to being willing to risk and probably lose your life for those ideals.
    Shaw knew what was at stake yet agreed and led his men into the history books.

      Great comment! So true. When his men got their rifles for the first time and were playing with them pretending to kill each other he heard the voice of his CO who got his head blown off “For God’s sake come on!” Shaw had PTSD from Antietam as seen when the shutters banging shut caused him to jump and spill his punch. He was shell shocked. He had seen war. He knew what his men faced. He knew what he faced. And as he said “I owe them my life if necessary”. Forbes didn’t get it at first but by the end of the film had grown up himself to understand the seriousness of his commitment and responsibility.

    This is a great movie. But my memory of it was as a young inexperienced teacher taking my classes to see it. We thought it would be an awesome opportunity for them to learn about the 54th Massachusetts. But the maturity level needed to be much higher for the students to handle the nuanced reality of the assault on Fort Wagner. I have always regreted it. Teachers beware! Those inner-city kids did not handle the end-game well. With more maturity over the years, of course, I would not take them to see this movie without a pre-viewing preparation that would be far more intense than what we gave them, especially the ending. There is so much injustice depicted in this movie, for the young minority students back then (Can't imagine for students today, I've been out of the field a while), that the "glory" of the charge on Fort Wagner was totally lost on them -- all they could see was the injustice of the entire thing.

      It's a tough concept to grasp, that, back then, merely being perceived as human was a prize worth dying for. Everything at that age is "winning" and "being strong." It's a given at that age that everyone is born human and not a piece of property. Perhaps that's a victory and a sign of progress. But it's still very important to understand that it wasn't always the case, lest we repeat it. In that respect, the singing scene right before battle where Denzel's character says "We men, ain't we" is the crux of the movie. What comes after makes no difference. At that moment, they were men, not property. That's the victory. Credits could've rolled after that. Their ultimate death was just a punctuation mark.

    • @patrickvolk7031

      A soldier's tale is not often a great one, especially in the Civil War. I am reminded of something Ataturk said to his Ottoman troops in WW I, "I am not ordering you to fight, I am ordering you to die. In the time it takes us to die, other men and other commanders can take our places". When Grant attacked in the Wilderness (around that same time), his troops pinned their names to their jackets. The 54th "ante'd up" just as much as any other regiment in the Civil War. RG Shaw at Antietam had his troops break and run. He knew what it would take.
      Winning in war isn't necessarily living. Especially at that time, you had to move across an open field, while artillery could easily get in 3-4 salvos, and then people with new, accurate and deadly rifles. The 54th was running on elan, if I remember he said they haven't slept for 3 days.

    The way Robert was overcome with emotion, happens often.
    He has discernment ; he sees not the ego reasons, but the historical purpose of doing something .

    two things I loved about this movie was the patriotism shown (compared to a movie that would be made today) and not going over the top with the prejudice these honorable men suffered... $10 dollar pay instead of $13 and a further reduction for clothes. They could have focused on the prejudice instead they really honored the men.

    Such a GREAT film and Inspiring Story. Its sad that the land where Fort Wagner stood and where the 54th Massachusetts died is now under water.

    These scenes were shot at the Mercer Williams house in Savannah Georgia.
    It had been previously owned by the family of Johnny Mercer's (the singer) family and a few years before they filmed "Glory" the house had been the site of an infamous shooting where the owner, Jim Williams, shot and killed his male lover... The book and film "Midnight in the garden of Good and Evil" are based on the events surrounding the shooting.
