I saw Gettysburg. Great movie - recaptured for me what it meant to be an American.

Yes, but geez, those fake-o beards (sigh) ...

I'm taking a vacation day on February 21 specifically to go see G&G.

All the reviews of Gettysburg complain about the fake beards and Martin Sheen's portrayal of Robert E. Lee. When I saw the movie, I didn't notice that the beards were fake, and I thought Sheen did a good job of acting.

Take a look at historical pictures of some of the generals portrayed, they really did have huge, thick beards that looked like the ones in the movies.
