I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Lots of pretty, gentlemanly Southern dialogue interspersed with battle scenes where hardly anyone dies until close to the end. No mention of Dan Sickles, or much at all about General George Meade. Yes, the fight scenes become more intense during the final 60-90 minutes, but this was the bloodiest battle on American soil, 620,000 plus American lives lost, yet this reminded me of a Disney production. It should be remade in a grittier style, like Saving Private Ryan, then we'd see what it was really like. Better still, want to learn about the Civil War? Go to Gettysburg!!!

Short and to the point, i LOVED the idea that someone would make a movie from one of the few books i have read more than once, Robert Maxwell, who was a devotee of the book The Killer Angels did just that., i get it i get it you wanted to worship at the altar of the author's altar, but could you have gotten a better writer and composer for this film? MAN oh man,! it wasn't the bloviating i minded, it was the stupid banal dialogue that was coming out of the actors mouths AS they were bloviating. The most childish. insulting to the viewers, type of dialogue EVER. The scene that stinks the most is the scene where the scout tries to get the pickets to let him see General Longstreet, and then the dialogue between the scout and Longstreet with the "good Virginia tobacco" line, or the over blown Sam Elliot's speech about the "the High ground, the high ground" my friends and i, just laugh at that bit, hey Sam why don't you just drop to your knees and pound the dirt with your fist as you say it..ack!!. The rest of the film really needed to be shown as it was intended to be, on TBS, over a couple of nights. it would have helped. Oh while im ranting that God awful hat Berenger apparently, INSISTED, on wearing even though it bore NO resemblance to the real Longstreet's hat..that being said it WAS a Civil War film and it was better than others. BUT....! just think if Maxwell and Turner had hired the writers for "Glory",it would made a ton of difference.

In 1863, the Northern and Southern forces fight at Gettysburg in the decisive battle of the American Civil War.While this is truly a great film and one that probably got many people interested in history and the Civil War, it is also sort of strange in its forced portrayal of the events. Despite a massive budget, some of the beards look ridiculously fake. And the dialogue is often very unnatural, thrown in to make a point. The speech where it is shown that many Confederate soldiers were the grandchildren of Revolutionary War patriots is very interesting, but it is extremely unlikely that any such conversation happened. Why would a general even know who a soldier's great-uncle was? Anyway, if you can ignore the beards and the overly-clean uniforms, this is a pretty spectacular movie that goes out of its way to get an emotional response from people.

Gettysburg, based on Michael Shaara's award-winning novel, The Killer Angels, this film depicts the long and violent three day battle between the Union and the Confederates in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I really liked this movie because it was actually filmed in Gettysburg and for the most part, it remains very consistent with the historical accuracy of the actual battle with very few errors. This movie could be related to the Battle of Gettysburg (1913). The main difference between them is the filming location where Gettysburg was filmed on location where the Battle of Gettysburg was filmed in Malibu, California. Also, the Battle of Gettysburg was a silent film. In conclusion, Gettysburg was a very good film and I would recommend viewing it but make sure you have plenty of free time!!
