The scenes that really move me In Glory

Glory is one of those films, that sticks in the mind long after you have seen it. The scenes that really get to me each time are:

1. Robert Gould Shaw's horse being let go before the final attack on the fort.You know that he believes that he will not survive.

2.Trip's face when he is being whipped,refusing to show pain. Match that with the anguish on Shaw's face as he watches the whipping.

3. The soldiers marching into battle, passing white Union soldiers on the way."Give them Hell, 54th!"You cannot failed to be moved by this.

4. Shaw's speech to his commanders, describing the actions of his men."They were a sight to behold."

Any others?

The ending credits with James Horner's score showing the "54th" memorial.

Those are all good. I would add the scene on the beach where Thomas was about to keel over, but Trip held him up, their rivalry finally buried

The kids witnessing the 54th and realising that their future might hold more possibility than it did a minute ago. Of course, the scene is bittersweet given that we know those kids would have gone their entire lives without being offered the opportunities that they hoped for.
