Hi everyone, a lot of people recommended this one to me for Black History Month and wooow, this was so impactful. I have so much respect for people who actually take action in changing the course of history, not just for themselves, but for a whole group of people. The scene with the wipping and him tearing up is just imprinted in my brain. I love movies that are beautiful to watch and at the same time super educational. Thank you for this one!

Oh no, not another thing I normally cry while watching. Well this is a great movie for Black History Month and we will all designate it as catharsis month too.

Carlos Hurtado

we need more Denzel on the channel! Training Day, Man on Fire and Philadelphia are some of my favorite films of his.

Amazing Movie, fantastic Cast, important Lesson/Message. A Movie i watch every year atleast once or twice cause its so great. Thank you Mary, really happy you watched it. What a beautiful Movie to watch with you!

I was surprised that you did not recognize Denzel Washington even by name, even though I know this is the first movie on the channel starring him. The good news is that you have plenty of movies to watch. Another good one for BHM would be Malcolm X, which also stars him as the title character. Philadelphia, the film Carlos mentioned before, could also be good for Pride month.

It's impossible to overstate the shadow that the Civil War cast over American History (some argue we're still fighting it), and there are always new ways to contextualize and understand it. I first saw this movie when I was 12 or 13, and it was one of the first "grown-up" war movies that I saw, so it definitely had an impact. Most of the major characters (aside from Colonel Shaw) are fictional, but they're meant to portray a cross-section of the men who made up the real 54th Massachusetts: free Northerners, former slaves from the South, etc. The images seen during the end credits of the movie are of an actual relief sculpture in Boston that was created in the late 19th century as a tribute to the regiment. Another one for Black History Month you might check out is SELMA, which takes place about 100 years after GLORY, and shows how even after all that time, Black Americans were still struggling for dignity and equality.

Two more movies for BHM are '42' and 'Redtails'. Great reaction as always.

I'm very thankful that you had the guts to watch another challenging movie, Mari. As an American who has studied the War between the States quite a bit over my life, I can understand why people from other places would have trouble with this subject matter. I struggle with it myself. I would recommend watching Gettysburg (1993). This was a pivotal point in the war (in fact, if you remember, the reporter was telling Colonel Shaw about it after they were first in combat). It was a major defeat for Robert E Lee. The battle of antietam (the first battle depicted, where shaw was a captain and interacted with John Rawlins, Morgan Freeman's character) was a straight up shit show in which the Union army, under McClellan fought to a standstill with the Confederates under Robert E Lee. It is one of the bloodiest battles of the entire war, with nearly 23,000 casualties in one days time. You very correctly intuited that leading from the front is something that doesn't happen nearly as much anymore. In my mind, that is the mark of a true officer, to put yourself at the same risk as the men you are leading into danger. Robert Shaw's body was dumped in the mass grave with the black soldiers, which the confederates intended as a sign of disrespect. However, Shaw's family, friends and comrades considered it to be an honor for him to be bured with his men. I have tremendous respect for this man and what he chose to do. Doing the right thing even though it was NOT the easy thing, going above and beyond to get his soldiers properly equipped and properly utilized AS the soldiers that they were. I was very angry to find out that BLM had defaced a memorial TO the 54th regiment during the 2020 riots. People too stupid to know what they were attacking.

TYLER!! You forgot to say the magic word ("legal") as in "Philadelphia" is a courtroom/legal drama. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU??? Also, Mari, Tom Hanks stars in "Philadelphia" as well and won his first Oscar for it, actually.

This is a great reaction! The Tuskegee Airmen feels similar to this movie. I don't know if this would be good for a reaction, but Denzel Washington is great in Malcolm X - which gets into a more militant/aggressive part of the American civil rights movement. Remember the Titans (also Denzel Washington) might be good for a reaction.

Sadly this movie isn’t on any of my 4 paid streaming services 🤨 but if I can recommend one for black history month it’s called The Great Debaters I’m sure Mary and her patrons will enjoy it. It stars Denzel Washington

I think I saw at least one other comment but tuskeegee airmen is a great one. The overall story of integration is good as well as it covers a part of the war mostly missed with the aerial component.

I watched this a few days ago but I remember you mentioning that the actor that plays Major Forbes looks familiar and it was driving me crazy what other movie you watched on here that he was in. He played Jerry in Liar Liar 😂

Yeah I can see that I can rent it, but because I am paying for four services Netflix Disney+ Prime and Crave perhaps it’ll become available on either platforms soon so I can wait because I’ve never watched Glory either 😬

He's been in so much I hope this isn't the only thing you recognize him from. Inconceivable 🤣
