...Lang's depiction of Jackson was one of the finest pieces of acting ever performed.

I agree totally, as does my wife. We both were blown away by his protrayal of Jackson. He deserves an academy award, but probably will not get it because he portrayed a southerner on the "wrong side" of the war.

Once I have seen a movie I generally do not care to see it again no matter how good. But this one I would see again.

Greetings from a fellow (peace time, thank God) Army vet and a true admirer of Texas -- second only to North Carolina. Knew a lot of Texans during my four years. Most of 'em were true patriots and keepers of Southern heritage. I'll thrown in with you guys any day.

Hell of a movie. I will definitely be getting the 6-hr directors cut when it comes out.
