Trivia:
With the exception of Shaw, none of the primary characters are based on real people in the 54th.
more
Goofs:
Factual errors: At the end of the movie, when the 54th is marching onto the beach preparing to assault Fort Wagner, about a dozen cannon are present, with limbers directly behind them. In reality, limbers, which contain large amounts of ammunition, were usually kept about 50 yards behind the gun. That way, if a limber was struck by an enemy shell, it wouldn't explode and destroying nearby artillerymen, cannons, and other limbers. Caissons, in the Civil War period, carried 2 replacement limbers and would be found much farther removed from the pieces firing.

Seeing Glory for the first time only a couple of years ago, and then only because I knew of James Horner's wonderful soundtrack to it, I was immediately impressed. The film itself shocked me (in a positive way), the cinematography is wonderful, and all the acting is top-notch, even if Matthew Broderick does seem a little too weak sometimes, and does not totally convince when his role asks for assertiveness. But apart from these little glitches, the whole film is a wonderful, poignant piece of work. The whole atmosphere one can breathe is wonderful,(and like in "Saving Private Ryan", one really does care for the soldiers portrayed). James Horner's wonderful score is a great asset to this film. If only more movies were like this!
