SHOW THEM Gettysburgh. A factual and most realistic film of any battle I have ever seen. Its long I know but I tell you it really hits home how they sent brother against brother in that slaughter.
Good movie and accurate as to the evetns.
Minor complaints: Fat Confederates (re-enactors I know) and some phony looking beards....
I concur. Gettysburg, though long, admittedly, is probably one of the best war (there was nothing civil about that war, and it does not meet the definition of civil war)movies there is. If you watch with a critical eye each character and their internal struggles with what was unfolding before them, the duty, honor and valor they showed, it is a priceless classic. I am a War Between the States reenactor and just participated in the 145th Gettysburg event...it was truly an honor to have participated. It was a defining moment in our country’s history and should never be forgotten, nor buried in the fallacious claim that the war was only about slavery. The war was truly brother against brother, friend against friend. The biggest thing my children got out of that movie is that sometimes, there are causes that are bigger than you and your must stand for what you believe in...even if at great cost. To submit and subjugate yourself to tyranny is an affront to everything American.
