 The Glory
The glory, as seen in sunlight, usually has a bright centre with a red border, surrounded by one or more rings blue on the inside and red on the outside.
The glory should not be confused with the heiligenschein, which is light returned by reflection in which the water drops act as lenses, and reflect light like the "cat's eyes" used in road signs.
The glory was reported before the wave theory of light was discovered, and was originally thought to be similar to the rainbow.

She was supposed to remain buried inside the human body (a man called Ben) and die when Ben did, but her power was too great and every so often, for a period of time, she could submerge Ben's personality and take over his body, making it look like her.
While Ben was in control he was a normal human, and had no memory of Glory's actions, and Glory had no memory of Ben's actions while she was in control.

Glory, the epic account of the 54th Massachusetts, one of the first all-fl regiments in the Civil War, contains numerous historical inaccuracies.
The deeper truth of Glory is illustrated by the contrast between its view of slavery and that of a story recounted by the Greek historian Herodotus.
By inaccurately depicting the 54th as a regiment of former slaves, Glory reveals the deeper truth that fls in general were not the natural slaves that Southerners believed them to be and that abolitionists feared that they might be.

Glory: (James Horner) This is the best score of Horner's career thus far, and certainly the best of 1989.
The film Glory is the type of viewing experience that blow you away with cinematography, acting, story, and music --it's not something you watch with a gang on friends on a Friday night (unless you're strange, I suppose).
