Field of lost shoes, Glory. Gettysburg was cut down in length to what is now, did you know that two reenacting societies from plus many more from across America came together to make this film happen. There should of been three movies made but sadly only two was ever done.

This was the personal project of Ted Turner, Founder of Turner Broadcasting Network, who personally wanted to produce and present both sides of the story in as dramatic and historically accurate (i.e. Without Hollywood) context. So that audiences could truly appreciate the sacrifices made at this battle to end slavery and preserve the Union.

[@sentientnatalie]

For a Civil War film based on historical fact, yes, I'd have to agree. But my favourite Western from that era isn't likely to veer from The Outlaw Josey Wales.

[@saiien2]

Yes one of the strongest parts of the movie. For me strongest moment was when general Armistead was asking about general Hancock, his old friend while he was dying. I saw a lot of war movies from different eras but this scene is written to my heart. Even for me as a non-american citizen it was a very strong scene as well as whole movie is unforgettable. Very good story (history is best scenarist) and perfect acting. Martin Sheen was incredible as Robert Lee aswell as Tom Berenger as general Longstreet.

[@Skywalker8562]

Kasurgis: There is no war that tears at a man's soul, more deeply than a civil war.
