Yeah, it's too bad that G&G turned out as the bloated tribute to the Lost Cause that it did. By trimming out most of the neo-Confederate trappings and focusing upon the close working relationship between Lee and Jackson, it would have been a much better movie. G&G really did bury any future prospect of a real good Civil War film focused upon military and inter-soldier themes, such as "Glory".
Some call G & G the "Virginia Monologues." lol
