Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCaptain James Ingraham and Louis Snear were the last two remaining "officers of color" in the 1st Regiment Louisiana Native Guards (73rd USCT) until Captain Ingraham resigned on March 22, 1864, leaving Captain Louis Snear to be the sole officer of color on the battlefield at the assault of Fort Blakeley on April 9, 1865.
- GoofsThe 1st Louisiana Native Guard's May 27, 1863, assault on Port Hudson did not succeed as portrayed in the film. The soldiers did not even make it into the Confederate trenches to engage enemy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. Instead the regiment retreated after Andre Cailloux's death. Port Hudson did not surrender the morning after the assault as shown in the film. Instead the siege lasted until July 9, 1863.

Featured review
Why so much hatred for this Movie???
Well, I really enjoyed the film. It is a story about survival, freedom and individual self-confidence. Will Smith's performance was amazing. Odds of winning a Oscar for his performance is very high. Good cinematography, unique color correction and a brilliant stunt sequence.
The alligator scene in particular was shot very well. The ugly truth of slavery shows how few inhuman animals existed in the past. Small request for the viewers, Don't compare movie with the artist personal life, both are different.
An emotional drama about slavery and a reminder of how unfair the past has been to people of color.
