All of these scenes mentioned are great. One of my favorites is when they finally get their uniforms and Shaw gives Sharts his first, after him asking all through boot camp "When they gonna give us the blue suit"? The look on his face was awesome. Great acting by everyone in this movie.

My faves:
"Give 'em hell, 54th!", and my tears start pouring.
The campfire singing scene. Lovely.
Morgan sending the child to the rear.
The entire "nasty little cuss" scene.
"We were a sight to see".
When Sharts testifies.
I'm out of Kleenex now! -

There are so many powerful scenes in this movie
*The whipping scene of course, and imagining what was going through the actors' minds while it was being filmed. It must have been very difficult.
*The scene where the soldiers were marching through a village and little boys run after them, finally seeing heroes who look like them marching to war.
*The group of white soldiers who had derided them saluting them as they march to a fight many of them will not survive.
*The scene of Trip snatching up the flag after Shaw fell
*The final scene of the burial of all of those mothers' sons being thrown unceremoniously into a common grave, black and white, brothers in arms, and at last in death, without shoes.
In fact, I am teary-eyed much of the time watching this film.
I could be a morning person if morning happened at noon.
