A civil war movie: Glory
An account of one of the first black regiments (the 54th) engaged in the civil war effort
in pursuit of freedom
having endured years of degradation and oppression
time should not yield to trivialization
and because a movie might "traditionally" ENTERTAIN . . . respect is a priority
to find amusement in death (not to be confused with a means of coping and consolation in the face of sadness) is not an admirable discovery.
and to blatantly claim this movie "funny" ...
"Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors."
-Abraham Lincoln
