Gettysburg Reviews

Ode To Gettysburg

Like the first shots that were fired upon Fort Sumter that began the Civil War,
the first shots of awe-inspiring music fire from Randy Edelman's score.
A montage of old-time photos of soldiers on the screen
during the opening credits before the opening scene.

General Lee sent a letter to Washington thinking a Confederate victory was at hand.
Little did he know that the army of the Potomac would reunite this land.
This land of states, this land of historical greats:
Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee,
each side a different dream or ideology.

The First Day

The North has the high ground...

Gettysburg was well worht the ten year wait it took to make it. it is one of the best writtenand acted Civil War movies made. I like how it shows where both armies where before the battle began and their journeys to the epic battle. This movie is not just about the three day battle it is also a in depth look at the major players in the battle. You get to see the personal sides of Longstreet, Lee, Armistad, Pickett and Chamberlain. It gives you an idea of what they were going through on a daily basis during one of the most important battles of the Civil War. There are times while watching the film...
