The Red Badge Of Courage


The movie is about the civil war between the North and the South of America.

There are many army in this situation but the movie focus on one armythat they are in the North. It is the army that full of soldier who are worry as well as scare about the war and some want to fight and see the real war because this army always train and they never see and face to face with the war.One day,some soldier heard the news that they will have the war with the opposite soon from another. So,he bring this news to tell other and some do believe but some do not believe. During they discuss about this news, Henry who is the strange thinker person,he walk out the group discussion and he seem to be serius about this news.

Next,the war has happened in several time within a few day and Henry did not help their friend due to the war at a time because he scared and he has less brave with himself so he decide to escape.His friend thought that Henry dead but when Henry back to the army, everyone feel happy that he did not die. For the last war in this movie, Henry back and make a fighting bravely and patient with friend then he will get the high position in the army but he look unhappy with the good news because he feel embarass with himself and their friend so he confess the real thing that he did not help the army during the previous war with his close friend.

After that the result of this civil war, the winner is the North and Henry's army back with happiness, strength and unity that happened during the hard time of their life.
For this movie, i like it because the movie does not only make me excited and also make me feel a little sad with some characteristic of actor.Moreover, I think the ranking of story is quite good, it does not boring and the black-white scene fit for the movie.
According to my watching, American culture in this movie is unity and always give encourage to each other but there are still have some soldier that selfish within their own army. Moreovert his movie has something that different from the present time,there are guns and the uniform.
