      Hollywood theme

      I have recently become interested in the history of the Civil War. I want to find a few movies to see. It seems that "Cold Mountain" and "Dancing with Wolves" all use history as the background board, and "Gettysburg" is the real historical movie. , So I found it very hard to have a look....

      I was exhausted but had a high level of reductiveness and no personal bias. I thought of watching domestic war history films before and I would ask, "Who is the bad guy and who is the good guy?" All want to change their country, this is history.

      The Northern Army finally stood still once, but the defense was successful. The Southern Army has always been better than the Northern Army in combat. Although morale is high, it is inevitable that it will be a little overbearing. The stone wall has been damaged before. The commander of the new regiment is not experienced enough and does not listen to the old man. You have to fight hard, and the results can be imagined. Colonel Chamberlain is simply the incarnation of Athena, and the professor volunteered to join the army. At the last moment, he was actually a counter-charge head-to-head, which really deserved the title of "Lion on the Top of the Small Garden". Looking at the future encounters of the main characters one by one, it can quite represent the likes and dislikes and actions of Americans.

    Gettysburg quotes

    • Col. Porter E. Alexander: We've been firing for a good while now, sir. It's apparent now that the Federals nor we will gain a clear advantage in this business. If we continue to expel our ammunition at this rate, we might endanger our ability to support the advance.

      Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: Did you not have enough ordnance when this was begun?

      Col. Porter E. Alexander: Federal fire compelled us to move the artillery train farther to the rear, sir. It's taken us longer to refill the capsules. Sir, we must slow down our fire now, or we will have to cut back on the guns sent in to support the infantry.

      Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: Damn! I'm going to have to order general Picket to hault his attack until these guns can be replaced!

      Col. Porter Alexander: Sir, the trains have little ammunition, it would take an hour to replace it. In the meantime, the enemy would improve on the time. The longer we delay, the more time the Federals have to strengthen their own line. And even if we recovered more supplies from the ordnance train, how much more damage could we inflict on them than they on us? They're bringing in fresh batteries as quickly as they drive them off!

      Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: Just get some more ammunition and keep it hot! I cannot send in Picket's division or the others, until we clear some of those guns off that ridge!

      Sergeant 'Buster' Kilrain: Colonel, darlin', could you do us all a favor and get on the damn horse?
