      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. 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...

      Why are you fighting? Dialogue between soldiers from the Southern Army and soldiers from the Northern Army

      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...

      The truth of war

      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...

      Brig. Gen. J. Johnston Pettigrew: Johnston Pettigrew, University of North Carolina.

      Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: Yes, General; your fame as a scholar precedes you. They still speak of your grades at North Carolina with reverence and awe. I understand you've written a book.

      Brig. Gen. J. Johnston Pettigrew: A minor work; if the General would care to read it...

      Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: Yes, General, I would like that very much.

      Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead: Dick, you can't do that! You'll be the perfect target.

      Brig. Gen. Richard B. Garnett: When we go up that hill and we break that line; there'll be a clear path to Washington and maybe today, this day, will be the last day. I've got to ride up there. Well, Lo; I'll see you at the top.
