GLORY (1989) | BRITISH GIRL FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

Glory (1989) | First Time Watching | War Drama Movie Reaction, Review & Commentary

Join me as I experience Glory (1989) for the very first time — a powerful and deeply moving historical war drama directed by Edward Zwick. This extraordinary film honors the courage and sacrifice of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first African American units to fight in the Civil War.
Led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, and made up of Black soldiers — many of them formerly enslaved, the 54th risked everything in the assault on Fort Wagner. Their story is one of dignity, defiance, and historic bravery.

Filmed with emotional depth and cinematic brilliance, Glory earned three Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Denzel Washington, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound. The score by James Horner adds unforgettable weight to this remarkable story.

As I watch and reflect on this film for Juneteenth, I share my honest reactions, commentary, and thoughts on what this story reveals about sacrifice, leadership, and the fight for freedom.
