Although this film is a bit procrastinating and has a typical American Protestant preaching smell, it still outstandingly shows American values, the level of Hollywood's film industry and the historical details of the Civil War. The biggest advantage of this film is its respect for history, especially The performance of the "queuing to shoot" tactics in the musket era also includes those prayers that I seem to be dull and dull (the southern United States still has a large Christian "Bible Zone" until today, and the Southern Army during the Civil War is even more Christian. Extremely rich). Of course, I think the best part of this film’s view of history is at the beginning. Lincoln wanted to appoint General Robert Lee as the commander-in-chief of the Union Army, but General Lee declined. He chose for his hometown of Virginia. The Confederate Confederate government, paradoxically, is actually an abolitionist-here is a key historical fact. The direct cause of the Civil War is indeed the understanding of slavery, but it prompted people to choose the South or the North at that time. However, it is often the maintenance of state power (from a legal point of view) and the love of hometown (from an emotional point of view). Of course, there are also southerners who joined the Northern Army for abolitionist beliefs. Americans of that era would say "United States are..." when referring to their own country, instead of "United States is..." as it is now, because the United States at that time was more in line with the definition of "United States". With higher state power now, the United States of that era was a bit confederate, and after the civil war ended, the United States also got the ticket to embark on the road of imperialism (please understand imperialism as a neutral term).
If you want to talk about the protagonist in this film, it should be said to be a group of portraits. In this group of portraits, the most prominent is undoubtedly the famous Southern Army "Stone Wall" Thomas Jackson. Stone Wall is a typical Southerner who loves family and believes deeply. Christ, however, did not approve of slavery and did not regard his black cooks as slaves. His ideal is to hope that the South will stand on its own feet without slavery (in fact, there was indeed a strong tendency to abolish slavery in the South during the latter part of the Civil War, and it was a pity that it was too late to form a black company). In this movie, he is the image of a perfect man, with spirit, ability (good at war), and loves family (although he went home once because of the emergency of the war, only saw his daughter who was born soon), but Too perfect, often makes me feel unreal, too comprehensive.
So I prefer Colonel Chamberlain.
Colonel Chamberlain, originally a professor at a University in Maine, was entangled because he couldn't answer the questions raised by students about freedom before laws and regulations. Finally, he joined the army. Before joining the army, he had a long conversation with his wife. The wife felt that Chamberlain was crazy for wanting to be famous and wanted to get the medal, but Chamberlain felt that he was right, he was an idealist. After Lincoln issued the "Abolition of Slavery", many people in the Northern Army could not bear that they "fought for the liberation of the nigger", but Chamberlain said that hundreds of thousands of people in a country have no political rights. Normal-he finally answered the student's question.
The Civil War was caused by the issue of abolition of slavery, but the reasons that prompted people to participate in the war were varied. Like the battle between the Irish infantry regiments of the North and the South, the Irish of the Southern Army felt with emotion. Could it be that our compatriots in the North actually Without learning the lesson, after escaping from the British, he is here to oppose the freedom of independence in the South? As everyone knows, the Irish in the north participated in the war, and they were similar to many in the Southern Army, supporting their families. After the war, the Southern Army was left crying bitterly, fighting in the same room, fearing that it was far better than some glamorous dogma.
There is only one reason for the war between the South and the North, but there are many reasons for participating in the war. In this war, the war was a little confused, unchanged, and only a little emotional, just like that Christmas, when the North Army soldiers gave it to the South Army. Cigarettes, like the southern soldiers gave coffee to the northern soldiers. Reminds me: The brothers are here after all the robbery, and they meet each other with a smile and a grudge.
