The film was indeed an epic piece of work: well-acted and directed. I do take umbrage with Mr. Medved's characterization of Jeff Daniel's Chamberlain. I thought the speech was moving. And no, I didn't pay a dime to see "Gods And Generals"; I won a free screening pass from our local Conservative Station (KCBQ) in San Diego.

I agree. It was a powerful moment and set the stage for the battle scene that followed. This was a film not only about the historical facts, but about the about the characters' humanity. I did think it ironic that Chamberlain was quoting, "Hail Caesar" while Jackson prayed about having to fight on "the Sabbath". Chamberlain is such a rich historical figure and such an honorable man it was right to give us this glimpse into such a man of letters.
