GETTYSBURG (1993) | Reunion and finale

[@ANProductionsOfficialChannel]

I think it is most fitting a movie about the American Civil War ends with two brothers hugging.

[@kristalange6824]

They are brothers?

[@usmc1979034]

@@kristalange6824Joshua Lawerence Chamberlin and Thomas Chamberlain served in the civil war in the 20th Maine together.

Holy shit great observation

[@clausesanta5042]

1:53 Star & Stripes flag in the last scene symbolizes that U.S survived in its only Civil War as the true United States.

[@aztro4010]

One of my favorite movies of the 1990s

[@CaptainjackSparrow-em1gl]

mine too

[@ifiresidegirls]

my family watches this movie every Fourth of July while it pains me to sit for four hours I know that I will get this ending each time and it is my favorite part of the whole film and I cry every single time and I know it so worth the four hours.

[@Anthony-gh5yu]

I'm really happy that they both survived

[@CaptainjackSparrow-em1gl]

same here

[@GeorgeTossas]

This is one great movie of true love

[@donswain7859]

The hugging part might be true, but Chamberlain was not at the stone wall as depicted. He was on Big round Top during the final battle.

[@CaptainjackSparrow-em1gl]

yes that is true 👍 he was on big round top during the final battle

[@Aristocles22]

A pity that Thomas Chamberlain became an alcoholic and died at age 55. Joshua Chamberlain, his older brother, the college professor, became governor of Maine and died aged 85.

[@johnmclaughlin945]

It is a shame… however we don’t fully understand the things he saw and suffered through.

[@CaptainjackSparrow-em1gl]

what are the things he saw and suffered?

War! Duh​@@CaptainjackSparrow-em1gl

[@rossgeorge245]

​@CaptainjackSparrow-em1gl you try watching men die. Men that were brothers and friends of his. They gave their lives in the cause of freedom they served their bit to union. The 20th maine was formed in summer 1862 there was a 1000 of them and by 1863 there was less than 300 which is why Joshua asked the mutineers of the 2nd maine to join them and fight.

Serene music as a guy blows his horse's head off.

[@GeneralMeade1815]

I never noticed that

[@1837284]

Union won the war and the white supremacist confederate experiment, as the grim anachronism it was, failed. Sorry for Lost Cause nostalgics.

[@neil5156]

It still carried on for years after

[@1837284]

@neil5156 Yes, but not as an independient and recognized state, as their original purpose was.

[@Matthew-sw4ie]

South got their revenge thanks to John Wilkes booth 🙏

[@thearmoredgeorgian2736]

The south is the reason the war happened.

[@diegocalzado9608]

You bastard

[@diegocalzado9608]

The union have noble ideas and not nazi ideas.

[@andrewhoward1878]

You DO know that the South, the Confederacy, fought to continue the practice of owning other human beings, right?!

[@macawattackgaming]

@@andrewhoward1878There were many other issues, especially around government. But slavery was a small factor of the complicated war.
