Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the film tells the complex story of the Union near the border of Kansas and Missouri.
In this war movie, Southern resident Charles (Skeet Elresh) joins the Army of the North due to the death of his father, while his friend Jack (Tobey Marquette) joins the rebels in the South.
In the past, the two of them lived in unison, living the elegant life of the privileged South, but they had to fight in the chaos of war and found friendship and loyalty through rebellion.
And Sue Lee (Pearl Kercher), a pregnant young woman, was killed in battle three weeks after her husband was married. But that's when Jake breaks into her life...

    You didn't say that you won't marry me, a nine-fingered German dwarf winter melon, if you have a carload of gold. I remember what you said. This...I lied to you. Now you are lying to me again? No, I won't lie to you. You just said you lied to me! That time was different, that time was coquettish. What is it now? The truth. The truth is spoken now. - Ride with the devil

    The movie itself is excellent. But the subject matter is not topical enough. The various viewpoints and theories of the Civil War should all belong to the audience of Ang Lee, and it is difficult to have surprises and shocks. For ordinary audiences, using the logic of literary films to make Hollywood war films, the final reaction will only be tedious and boring. So the worst rating is reasonable. The best of the whole film should be after George's death, Holt expressed his understanding of freedom.

Ride with the Devil quotes

  • Pitt Mackeson: Why you little Dutch son of a bitch. You do what I tell you or I'll kill you.

    Jake: [pulls his gun a few inches from Pitt's face] And when do you figure to do this mean thing to me Mackeson? Is this very moment convenient for you? It is for me.

  • Jake: I say what is the good side to this amputation and there is one.

    Jack Bull Chiles: Name it, Jake.

    Jake: Well, you say one day some Federals catch up to me in a thicket. They would riddle me and hang me and no Southern man would find me for weeks or months and when they did I'd be bad meat pretty well rotted to a glob.

    Jack Bull Chiles: That's scientifically accurate, I'm afraid. I've seen it.

    Jake: I'd be a mysterious gob of rot. And people would say, "Who was that?" Then surely someone would look up and say, "Why it's nubbin fingered Jake Roedel." Then you could go and tell my father that I was clearly murdered and he wouldn't be tortured by uncertain wonders.

    Jack Bull Chiles: And that's the good of it?

    Jake: Yes sir, that's the good.
