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. Unfortunately, I felt more disappointed after reading it. The story is about the most decisive battle in the Civil War. In just three days, the dead American was close to the entire Korean War, which shows its...

On the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg,
Northern Soldier Billy asked the captured Southern Soldier Johnny about one thing I have never understood. Why are you fighting? Johnny asked Billy, why are you fighting? Billy replied, of course, to free the slaves and avoid the division of the Federation. Johnny said calmly after listening, I don't know what other people think, but I am not fighting for a slave, I am fighting for my power, this is the only reason for my participation in...

When your hometown rebels against the motherland
The War of Independence and the Civil War are the two most important wars in the history of the United States. The War of Independence gave birth to the United States, and the Civil War laid the foundation for the United States to become a superpower. "The Battle of Gettysburg" reflects the Civil War and a more comprehensive film that reflects the American Civil War. For those of us who are educated in official history books, the shock brought by this film is beyond words. "Brave Heart" is...

Death of the North and the South
Throughout the film, through the exchange of characters, it expresses to the audience people's view of war during the Civil War. This is a helpless war without ideology, justice or evil, and both are heroes and patriots.
The liberation of black slaves is generally regarded as irrefutable justice in current value judgments, but it is not so simple in the historical environment at that time. Of course, from a moral point of view, the South is ashamed of itself, but slavery was not invented...

A typical American epic film with the main theme is a bit too long except for more than 4 hours. The scenes, weapons and tactics are all in line with historical reality. You may think that the war scene is very funny, but this is a reproduction of real tactics restricted by weapon conditions. General Li may have only made this mistake in the entire civil war, but it was fatal. Chinese films should learn from other people's filming methods. They are also the main melody film, not only the...

It was tragic when General Longstreet ordered the Pickett Charge. In addition, through the mouths of several figures on both sides, almost each of them delivered a "Gettysburg Address", explaining from their own quite reasonable perspectives why they fought in this tragic civil war. Of course, it is unavoidable to express the sadness for the mutual destruction of good...

Please don't abuse the word "epic" any more, idiots, what the Lord of the Rings is called epic is really insulting the word "epic"! Gettysburg is the best land battle movie I've ever seen! Great shot! 4 and a half hours to perfectly reproduce the battle that decided the fate of the American Empire! A masterpiece of war...

The cruelty of civil war is that you sometimes capture a cousin captive, or shoot one of your own relatives. Nice documentary film, but firmly rejects civil war, for whatever...
General Robert E. Lee: [Lee is comtemplating the battle on the night of July 1]
[voiceover]
General Robert E. Lee: In the morning is the great battle. Tomorrow or the next day will determine the war. Virginia is here. All the South is here. What will you do tomorrow? In the morning, the enemy will be up in fortified positions on high ground. Longstreet's corps will be coming up, and... my boys'll be ready to finish the job. If I tell them to withdraw now... no, sir. They've been patient for far too long. With the enemy out there up on the hill, they'll be ready to finish the job. But I don't even know how much is up there. How many men? How many cannon? I don't know the ground or the flanks. I don't know. If I wait in the morning, the early morning, maybe Meade, under pressure, will attack. Hmm. That would make General Longstreet very happy. But I don't think Meade will come down. And I don't think I can withdraw. So... God's will. Thy will be done.
Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain: [thinking] Hold to the last. To the last what? Exercise in rhetoric. Last shell... last man... last foot of ground... last breath...
Col. Arthur Freemantle: I'm told you're descended from an illustrious military family.
Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead: [scoffs] Who told you that? Kemper?
Col. Arthur Freemantle: He tells me it was your uncle who defended Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, and that he was therefore the guardian of the original "Star-Spangled Banner." I must say, I do appreciate the irony of it all.
Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead: Colonel Freemantle... it does not begin or end with my uncle... or myself. We're all sons of Virginia here.
[he motions with his eyes; Freemantle follows his gaze]
Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead: That major out there, commanding the cannon... that's James Dearing. First in his class at West Point, before Virgina seceded. And the boy over there with the color guard...
[he nods in the boy's direction]
Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead: ... that's Private Robert Tyler Jones. His grandfather was President of the United States. The colonel behind me... that's Colonel William Aylett. Now, his great-grandfather was the Virginian, Patrick Henry. It was Patrick Henry who said to your King George III, "Give me liberty, or give me death." There are boys here from Norfolk... Portsmouth... small hamlets along the James River. From Charlottesville and Fredericksburg... and the Shenondoah Valley. Mostly, they're all veteran soldiers now; the cowards and shirkers are long gone. Every man here knows his duty. They would make this charge, even without an officer to lead them. They know the gravity of the situation, and the mettle of their foe. They know that this day's work will be desperate and deadly. They know, that for many of them, this will be their last charge. But not one of them needs to be told what is expected of him. They're all willing to make the supreme sacrifice... to achieve victory, here... the crowning victory... and the end of this war. We are all here, Colonel. You may tell them, when you return to your country... that all Virginia was here on this day.
