Director: Edward Schweiger. The film that shocked me the most in the Civil War was "Patriot", which chose black troops as the protagonist and emphasized that the Civil War was a glorious battle for freedom. The former seems to focus more on the cruelty and sacrifice of war. In the last battle, music was used to render the glorious color of the war for freedom, which was very shocking and had strong idealism. Because the film does not particularly highlight the special strength of a certain person, but only tells the process of the formation, training and growth of this black army, and then to the sacrifice, it will not have a particularly strong psychological impact. But this is this honest narrative that shows us the perseverance, strength, optimism, bravery that ordinary people have. They don't speak exciting speeches. They just use their most ordinary lives to compose their own life. Song.

[Trip and Searles are about to fight when Rawlins steps in]
Rawlins: Look, goddamn it! The whole world gotta stomp on your face?
Trip: Nigger, you better get your hands off me!
Rawlins: Ain't no niggers around here! Understand?
Trip: Oh, I see, so the white man give you a couple a stripes, and suddenly you start hollerin' and orderin' everybody around, like you the massa himself! Nigger, you ain't nothin' but the white man's dog!
[He starts to walk away, Rawlins stops him and slaps him]
Rawlins: And what are you? So full of hate you want to go out and fight everybody! Because you've been whipped and chased by hounds. Well that might not be living, but it sure as hell ain't dying. And dying's been what these white boys have been doing for going on three years now! Dying by the thousands! Dying for *you*, fool! I know, 'cause I dug the graves. And all this time I keep askin' myself, when, O Lord, when it's gonna be our time? Gonna come a time when we all gonna hafta ante up. Ante up and kick in like men. LIKE MEN! You watch who you call a nigger! If there's any niggers around here, it's YOU. Just a smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-runnin' nigger! And if you not careful, that's all you ever gonna be!

Jupiter Sharts: [praying aloud] Tommorrow we goes into battle, so Lordy, let me fight with the rifle in one hand, and the Good Book in the other. So that if I may die at the muzzle of the rifle... die on water, or on land, I may know that you blessed Jesus almighty are with me... and I have no fear.
