The Red Badge of Courage
Directed By: John Huston
Starring: Audie Murphy (Henry ),Bill Mauldin (Tom),John Dierkes, Royal Dano, Arthur Hunnicutt
The movie starts with images of soldiers waiting to anticipation of war.No one sure about tomorrow. I think this movie shows the boredom and anticipation for war. For the war shows waiting and endless. The scene shows the fear, serious, for many soldiers are proud to flight in the war, except for the main character, Henry, are excited and fear of going into battle. Many times in the mo
vie, Henry running away from battle .
vie, Henry running away from battle .Once, while Henry was fighting and he thinks he would loss so he ran away from his duty. And he shame of it, his shame worsens as he comes across men of his regiment who have been wounded in the fight. Gathering his courage, he returns to duty determined not to flee again , seeking redemption for his running, and have a grand passion to destroy the enemies. Henry suffers one injury during the film, when he is hit in the back by a musket.
However, he is returned back to camp. Battle continues in the morning. The end result shows the US winning and marching onward to the next battle. Overall, I enjoyed this film. I have never seen the movie before taking this class. I like how it shows that not everyone drafted in the military were eager to fight in battle, however, some were. Many soldiers cheered at the thought of going into battle. When they actually were in harms way on the field, however, they were not cheering. The character of Henry Fleming, allows people to see the humanity in war. His character allows the viewer to see how the draft played a key part in recruitment and that many did not want to take part in this war. 
Also, I saw the strong Christian believe whenever they are going to flight they would pray and I heard Christian songs in this film as well.

Good summary and comments. This is a classic film. It is not really just about the civil war but about any war and what happens during war. It is a story that we can all understand when faced with the problems presented in the movie.
Even today in Iraq, American soldiers will pray before going into battle. It has been said that there are no atheists in foxholes. This means that when men fight in battle, they all place their face in the God they believe in.
Have you ever heard the above quote?
Good comments.
Go ahead and blog the Far and Away movie. I have it on the list for you guys to blog a little later.
It is a sweeping movie over a period of several years but does give an accurate account of the Oklahoma land rush.
Blog it. It is a good movie.
