This is a great historical film that really captures the spirit and conditions faced by the soldiers of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment.

That blacks in the civil war era had it hard even when free
isn't new, but that a group was trained as soldiers in
the north and actually fought in the south.
Matthew Broderick seems young for the leading officer, but the acting of Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington in this film is first rate.
I think had the ending not been so depressing that it might have gotten more awards. You finish this film thinking that they all died
and pretty much for nothing
as the fort was never taken.

Well cast, well made. Scenery, uniforms, speech, that all important but difficult to capture "feel" for the times all present. Freeman was brilliant and Broderick turns in his best performance ever. I have watched it many times and as a living historian have used the Sharpsburg battle scene often as an accurate portrayal for students to see the horror of war. But, when history meets Hollywood, history will almost always get mugged along the way. The Civil War at
Sea, (volume 3) by Virgil Carrington Jones, page 13 tells the truth about the fictional assault OVER the wall and into the fort. NEVER HAPPENED. ..."planted the flag upon the parapet. At this moment of the attack Shaw was killed, and the Fifty-fourth seemed to go to pieces....its members were seized with a furious panic and acted like wild beasts let loose from a menagerie...they ran away like deer." Facts are stubborn things John Adams once wrote. Such a retreat, historically accurate tho it was does not make for a good finale to a movie. Enjoy the flick, but remember how it really ended.
