"'Marrow, we go into battle, so Lordy, let me fight with the rifle with one hand, and the Good Book with the other. That if I should die at the mussel of the rifle, die on water, or on land, I know that you, Blessed Jesus, Almighty are with me, and I have no fear - Amen."
most touching part of this line is that he didn´t stammer when he said " I have no fear'. Thanks for higlighting it. I really need it to hear that as well.
and...furthermore...it's TRUE!! Stories have been passed down in my family about how the white soldiers would give all the black slave children hugs, and the little girls would put flowers in their pants pockets when they walked by...they were allowed to touch the white soldiers, but not the black ones. From South Carolina toVirginia up to D.C. they said it was chaos all night long.
I think that was the purpose of the scene. Bring that Black Southern Baptist Church vibe into the scene. The slaves didn't have much to hang on to except their families and their religion. That's how they found their strength. And that's what they brought into the battle, majority of them anyway. Denzel's character had neither family nor religion, he used inner strength.
"Ain much bout no prayin nah but..." lol Denzel killed that role. And ol Morgan was clapping like my aunte when she in her church feelings heavy 😂 Everybody went into their bag heavy for this film.
to know that death is coming, and having "no fear" to face it because they know that Blessed Jesus Almighty is with them and that they completely accept what is going to be "their great gettin up mornin" they are ready when the Lord calls them home
The most powerful and moving scene in the movie. The first engagement I was in I was singing this song and remembering this scene. Sadly in history, over 50% of these men did not make it back. It was there great gettin up mornin.
These brave men are a large part of the freedoms I now enjoy in 2019. The continuity of love of family &home connects me to them as well as their obvious faith in Jesus Christ as Savior& Lord. They gave everything of who they are, just for the chance of life & liberty. We , today are debtors to them all. I for one am extremely greatful to God and to them; they are part of the fabric of my soul !
Greetings of Brazil, man. I have a great respect for military, because my grandfather, son of italians, was to the War behind Arabs and Israel, in 1956 like peace force's of ONU. He was of Batalhão de Suez, if you want research. In my family, I have so many familiar who were to the war, the grandfather of my grand mother, like Marine by the Brazilian forces, was to Firt World War. One more time, thanks, man, you have my respect (Sorry by my english)
Denzel was incredible in this movie... shiiiit everybody was, andre braugher, Morgan Freeman, Carey elwes, Matthew Broderick... just an incredible movie all around
In 1990 I was in 8th grade and the teacher played this movie in our class on VHS. Before watching Glory, all the students in the classroom has to have an approval signed from their parents to watch it. For those who didn't sign, they had time to spend in the library and read a book. Fast forward to 2020 and this movie still moves me.
@@derrickrobbins8100 : just what I was thinking, and how wrong parts of our country has become. Let's hope everyone VOTES BLUE and brings our country back and our spirit home. "Today some states would ban the movie from being played" Thanks for posting.
Fitting that I watch this movie on the 4th of July. This scene is bittersweet. These men know that they are walking into certain death. All of them leaving their families knowing that they would “die standing up”. Others, like Tripp, had no family other than the 54th. They all had each other. God Bless then all!
One of the Best Historical Movies I've Ever Seen to Date. 10000%- RESPECT for Each and Every One of these Heroes. Battalion 54 were the TRUE Freedom-Fighters, Etched in Timeless GLORY.
I'll never forget when I was a teen, my mom and I happened to watch this movie on TV in separate rooms and didn't know. When she walked out of her room, she was crying just as hard as I was. This IS one of the greatest depictions of war and one of the most important stories ever told.
Doobie Keebler Glory was partly about the racism us Black men facing while fighting in the civil war...so glory is partly about Black people...glory is a movie Black people can identify with because of the racism those brothers experience during the civil war...and of course we face and experience much more extreme racism today as Black people.
First American Holocaust: the Native wipeout Second American Holocaust: Slavery an important film It's available on Netflix right now. I'm watching this scene and paused to make this comment. Please watch with your family
Denzel's character has used bitterness to shield himself his whole life, to keep him from being hurt again due to his mistreatment. Here he tries to breakthrough a lifetime of that and be sentimental for the sake of his comrades and his soul should he die in battle.
Yeah man that’s what makes this scene epic and he killed it ! You can see his tough guy image holding back his soft words and tears but he couldn’t hold it
This scene felt so real to me. I can easily imagine this happening exactly as it did onscreen. Especially touching are the comments like "that's alright", and Morgan Freeman's acceptance, when Denzel opens up. It's such a perfect display of the bigger picture, the brotherhood that united them (and should still unite all of us).
@@whatotherfoodfish7565 The USA didn't invent slavery. Remember, we're only here because we were sold into bondage, by fellow Africans. Those Africans share equal guilt with the Europeans, (and don't forget the Arabs, they were trafficking more slaves than whites).

✡️ I would like to say I remember and love my beautiful people who sacrificed their lives for me to be here today love you my ancestors a hard struggle through bondage for such a long time and we still struggle today but we're going to make it by the hands of the almighty father in heaven so I shed many tears for my people our pain and struggle father free us from the hands of our oppressors all praises and love to the most high my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our ancestors who came here before us✡️
Hallelujah! Praise The Lord! Rest In Peace to all these brave men that gave their life for a change. Thank God that they had Jesus as their Lord and Savior. They all have eternal life by His mighty grace and mercy for us. Thank you Jesus!
This film is pretty much required watching for every high school history class. The fact it's still not in the National Film Registry is criminal. I watch it every year and still tear up at least once every time

No movie,.... tears me up like this one does. Glory has been oneof my favorites and the only movie has 4 parts that make me cry everytime! Lol... When Trip gets whipped, this praying scene, before they go off to battle on the beaches and when Trip gets killed 😭 Thank you my brothas of the 54th and all black soldiers that served. I love and appreciate all you did and experienced so your great grandson today can live a better life. Your sacrifices will NEVER be forgotten.
Definitely one of those scenes you cannot pull away from, no matter how hard you try - magical, spiritual, emotional...the connection of the group is felt so much...nothing could touch them within their service.
As a field artilleryman who served 30 years in the Army with 13 years overseas including a combat tour in Vietnam, this movie in general and this scene in particular touched me on several levels.
One the most Inspirational moments, really carved a place in my heart, since I ever I first saw this 25+ yrs ago!! Oh My Lord, Lord, Lord! I sing this to myself to get to sleep!
Denzels part was brilliant. The 2nd iteration of "we men" let's you know that they were not fighting for freedom or to become men. They were fighting to put the others on notice that they were fighting because they were already free and already men. It didn't matter what happened because they were never under any circumstance not going to be men Sometimes we need to remind ourselves how free we are in spirit
I love when Thomas finally allows himself to join in the singing at the end, too -- as if he's finally embraced a culture and heritage that is his, but which had seemed so foreign to him up to that point. An excellent example of visual story-telling played perfectly by the actors involved.
Nah they had to fight in order to become men. The whole movie is about how the Union Army would not let Black Soldiers fight. Black Soldiers had to be beneath 2nd class. They trained and worked their ass off like everyone else maybe even harder but they were not being allowed to fight. They were only being used in a subservient role. It's ALWAYS the Degradation. The belittlement of a capable entity will always diminish it's true value. And value was being diminished here was these Soldiers right to fight as Men. You enslaved me, you destroyed my history, my family, my existence, grant me the "Right to fight my enemy like a Natural Man".
@@thirdpowerful1 I was waiting for someone to bring that up. I thought his personal growth was the largest of all of them. Because he was born a free man. His father was a also a free man. He had to be broken down to their level before being built back up. It only served to make him stronger because found out who he really was. One of them.
@@KingBranBDM that is the way i interpret it. it was like Trip was telling it to Jesus, that under Jesus they are men, and kind of defying the confederate view of blacks being "subhuman" and therefore not men, per se. So when trips says "we men aint we?" it means "we are soldiers fighting on equal terms against the soldiers of the enemy force". "we are men, fighting men". he realized that he stopped being the "n-a" word, and became just a Man, which is what every Man is.
Scene draws a tear! For every soldier that prepared to go into battle...that last night before ! Platoon showed that every soldiers faces that moment !
One of the great scenes in film history, and who watches it any more? So many cultural, historical, and spiritual threads coming together here, about America’s past and future, delivered by two of the greatest American actors, Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. Great stuff.
Glory is, by far, my favorite "achievement" film ever made. There are just too many meaningful and emotionally moving scenes to pick a favorite, but this beautiful expression of brotherhood before a fateful battle really had me tearing up in the theater when I first saw it, and again, just now.
This is one expression of corporate prayer. It is simple, yet beautiful, genuine, and powerful. God hears these prayers and chooses to act when people humble themselves and pray. May we all begin to do this very simple act of prayer. Let’s not overly complicate one of our foundational elements of faith.
The brotherhood of men in uniform. There is no stronger bond than with the men you spill your blood alongside in the "crucible of combat." Brave and decent men. Men we should all be proud of.
Even my daddy’s grandad had to b ready...... and some of them were.......I stand because they did.......Joey Rieves I read about you all.... Great ones and I’ll never forget it...... never forget it ......Thank you Dear elders..... put on the armor Of God...... “we men ain’t we””!! Let us go forth.......
In middle school, they showed this movie to pretty much my whole school. During Athletics period, all the guys in the gymnasium were singing this song. Including me.
I remember going to see this movie when it came out, I think I was about 10 11, at the end of the movie I clearly can remember grown men and women coming out of the movie at the end crying their eyes out, it was profound for me even at that age. ever since I was little I was a big history buff and it became one of my favorite movies, as I got older I realized even more so how great the acting and the scenes were, definitely one of my top 5 movies. Bronx tale(my Italian heritage), Goodwill Hunting, Rocky, Glory, Braveheart, probably my top five sentimental
As black actors, I gotta believe that the acting was exceptional for one very good reason. It’s the fact that this was deeply felt on a level that most others will never grasp. Being black in America and knowing our history as black people. It’s almost as if it was not acting. It was reliving our ancestors hurt, struggles and hopes for a better life.
His character Tripp never knew anything but pain, fear, and oppression. Because of this, he always has up a shield. He always acts aggressive and comes off as a bully in the regiment. Well when your whole life has been nothing but being made to feel afraid, that's just a self-defense mechanism. You can tell here in this scene, this is one of the first (and sadly, last) times in his life where his guard is down, and he is with the only family and friends he has ever had. It's so hard for him to speak, because he is overcome with confusing emotion. Simply amazing acting.
Y'alls the onliest family I got! POWERFUL.....Ain't much a matter of what happens tomorrow, cause we men ain't we!!! CHILLS run every time I watch this movie.......The actors reached to the ancestors for this scene.
Freeman who played the Sgt/Major really woke sense into the men. For what they were fighting and dying for. What Union soldiers before them were dying. Freedom and oppression. Young people forget that today.
For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
"Glory (1989)" is still used in schools teaching American History, the Civil War, Civil Rights and the fight to end slavery in the United States. One of the best films I have ever seen.
The first time I saw this movie I was in elementary school. I was student of the month for my class. They had a movie time segment in the school's auditorium during class hours, for every child that made student of the month for their classroom. I was between 8 and 10 yrs old at the time (I'm currently 40). This scene stuck in my mind and heart ever since. Seem like a harsh movie for kids to watch, but I'm forever glad this movie was chosen. This movie, and scene is amongst thee most heartfelt I've ever witnessed!
Guess what... it'll hit you again 20 years later when you see it again. There are things I watched at your age.. that I feel more power towards now I'm in my mid-40's. Even Star Trek episodes.

u aint never lie
No words can do this justice. These men were willing to die so as no other would need to. They did for those not even born. Real heroes....
They paid the price so that those who came behind them could be free
Because they had God with them!
And still were not given equal citizenship
Great men. Fighting for what the country could be, just like we all have to do today.
@@Dcain2 It took time. But this was a grand start.

Words to live by!!!!!😎😎😎😎

@Lion of God Amen! Amen! Amen! Cant agree with you more.
"We go down standin' up!" Brave men. Love this movie!
With God they're always standing up
It's always nice to see and hear Jesus' name glorified on the internet.
The most powerful and moving scene in the movie. The first engagement I was in I was singing this song and remembering this scene.
Sadly in history, over 50% of these men did not make it back. It was there great gettin up mornin.
40% casualties in the assault on Fort Wagner alone. They held out as long as they could.
They were absoutely fearless. They proved beyond a doubt that a black regiment could face a while one an not break
These brave men are a large part of the freedoms I now enjoy in 2019. The continuity of love of family &home connects me to them as well as their obvious faith in Jesus Christ as Savior& Lord.
They gave everything of who they are, just for the chance of life & liberty. We , today are debtors to them all. I for one am extremely greatful to God and to them; they are part of the fabric of my soul !
Couldnt have said it better myself. Amen brotha.
give em hell 54th!!!
They tried and failed but they knew that they would die and still did it knowing that they would serve their country proud
Love that part too.

So when trips says "we men aint we?" it means "we are soldiers fighting on equal terms against the soldiers of the enemy force". "we are men, fighting men". he realized that he stopped being the "n-a" word, and became just a Man, which is what every Man is.
"Ain't much a'matta about what happen tomorrow because we men ain't we?"
Scene draws a tear! For every soldier that prepared to go into battle...that last night before ! Platoon showed that every soldiers faces that moment !
But he doesn't fare alone. He has God
One of the great scenes in film history, and who watches it any more? So many cultural, historical, and spiritual threads coming together here, about America’s past and future, delivered by two of the greatest American actors, Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. Great stuff.
Glory is, by far, my favorite "achievement" film ever made. There are just too many meaningful and emotionally moving scenes to pick a favorite, but this beautiful expression of brotherhood before a fateful battle really had me tearing up in the theater when I first saw it, and again, just now.
This is one expression of corporate prayer. It is simple, yet beautiful, genuine, and powerful. God hears these prayers and chooses to act when people humble themselves and pray. May we all begin to do this very simple act of prayer. Let’s not overly complicate one of our foundational elements of faith.
@Bah Humbug with the hope of going to Heaven.
A scene I'll probably never forget.
Kpopfangirl24 never will forget!
25 years later still never forgot..watching again Netflix right now
The brotherhood of men in uniform. There is no stronger bond than with the men you spill your blood alongside in the "crucible of combat." Brave and decent men. Men we should all be proud of.
Even my daddy’s grandad had to b ready...... and some of them were.......I stand because they did.......Joey Rieves I read about you all.... Great ones and I’ll never forget it...... never forget it ......Thank you Dear elders..... put on the armor Of God...... “we men ain’t we””!!
Let us go forth.......
Denzel keep bringing tears to your eyes in this movie!
My school after watching Glory: Ooooh myyy looord looord lord Looord
In middle school, they showed this movie to pretty much my whole school. During Athletics period, all the guys in the gymnasium were singing this song. Including me.
Joseph Doria lol
😂😂😂 tm
🤣 Same
You went to a good school
Morgan Freeman got that southern baptist preacher tone and cadence down pat.
All that was missing was... _"Church, turn your bibles to..."_
In Jesus’ Name - Amen!!! 😊
I remember going to see this movie when it came out, I think I was about 10 11, at the end of the movie I clearly can remember grown men and women coming out of the movie at the end crying their eyes out, it was profound for me even at that age. ever since I was little I was a big history buff and it became one of my favorite movies, as I got older I realized even more so how great the acting and the scenes were, definitely one of my top 5 movies. Bronx tale(my Italian heritage), Goodwill Hunting, Rocky, Glory, Braveheart, probably my top five sentimental
I cry every time when I see this. Powerful!
Me too. Very emotional scene.
I’d follow Morgan Freeman & Denzel Washington into battle any day! ✊🏽
5⭐️/5⭐️ „never had no family...” powerful scenę, outstanding performance by D.Washington; a very sad story beautifully pictured
As black actors, I gotta believe that the acting was exceptional for one very good reason. It’s the fact that this was deeply felt on a level that most others will never grasp. Being black in America and knowing our history as black people. It’s almost as if it was not acting. It was reliving our ancestors hurt, struggles and hopes for a better life.
Denzel absolutely deserved his Oscar win for this performance. Simply perfect. Broderick was amazing as well.
His character Tripp never knew anything but pain, fear, and oppression. Because of this, he always has up a shield. He always acts aggressive and comes off as a bully in the regiment. Well when your whole life has been nothing but being made to feel afraid, that's just a self-defense mechanism. You can tell here in this scene, this is one of the first (and sadly, last) times in his life where his guard is down, and he is with the only family and friends he has ever had. It's so hard for him to speak, because he is overcome with confusing emotion. Simply amazing acting.
@@garbagi0 also anger and hate
Y'alls the onliest family I got! POWERFUL.....Ain't much a matter of what happens tomorrow, cause we men ain't we!!! CHILLS run every time I watch this movie.......The actors reached to the ancestors for this scene.
One of my fave civil war movies! Great performances by the cast. I still watch this often!
Freeman who played the Sgt/Major really woke sense into the men. For what they were fighting and dying for. What Union soldiers before them were dying. Freedom and oppression. Young people forget that today.
I love this song it always gives me chills i thank god for these brave men who fought for my freedom
These scene gets me emotional an teary eyed every time I watch it.
i can't stop crying everytime i watch this scene.
Me too
What is really & truly sad is that these brothers were willing to die and some did die for a country that had them in slavery.
For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
When I hear their cries and voices singing...I feel like that I’m ready lord..too come home to you,
"Glory (1989)" is still used in schools teaching American History, the Civil War, Civil Rights and the fight to end slavery in the United States. One of the best films I have ever seen.
No matter what happens tomorrow, we men, I love the 54th
I love this scene its so dear to my heart
The humanity is beautiful.
It's such a moving scene to watch. I blows me away every time. God speed 54th Massachusetts infantry soldiers.
Very powerful acting from some great actors in a terrific movie.
The first time I saw this movie I was in elementary school. I was student of the month for my class. They had a movie time segment in the school's auditorium during class hours, for every child that made student of the month for their classroom. I was between 8 and 10 yrs old at the time (I'm currently 40). This scene stuck in my mind and heart ever since. Seem like a harsh movie for kids to watch, but I'm forever glad this movie was chosen. This movie, and scene is amongst thee most heartfelt I've ever witnessed!
One of the best movies I've ever seen!...PERIOD!
Great movie,great song i have that for years on my cell phone.Respect to black people!
I wish just once I could hear Morgan Freeman say to me "Come on, now. You doin fine."
These guys are good! Keep singing ya’ll ✝️❤️🙏
Last time I watched this I was probably too young to fully grasp the full power of the film... Think now that I'm 28 I'll give it another watch.
Guess what... it'll hit you again 20 years later when you see it again. There are things I watched at your age.. that I feel more power towards now I'm in my mid-40's. Even Star Trek episodes.
Watch it again when you're 42, the older you get the more meaningful.
When Denzel said no matter what happened tomorrow we are men WE ARE MEN
This is an excellent movie
Such a bad ass scene! Denzel coming to fruition.
I come back to this scene again and again. Beautiful and true. Heartbreaking and true.
I can't never watch this scene without shedding a tear ... Beautiful cinematography
I had this scene for my deployment in 2003 as well very powerful
They went on to lose that battle...
But win the war.
A small sacrifice
Denzel's character found what he was looking for in his final day in this world. What a movie!
