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....

Objectively record the history and reflect on this war very well. Although the 5-hour duration seems a little procrastinated, it still deserves the title of one of the greatest war films in film history.

Possibly one of the best films of the American Civil War. Great scenes, living characters.

[on Pickett's charge]
Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: You know what's gonna happen? I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Troops are now forming behind the line of trees. When they come out, they'll be under enemy long-range artillery fire. Solid shot. Percussion. Every gun they have. Troops will come out under fire with more than a mile to walk. And still, within the open field, among the range of aimed muskets. They'll be slowed by that fence out there, and the formation - what's left of it - will begin to come apart. When they cross that road, they'll be under short-range artillery. Canister fire. Thousands of little bits of shrapnel wiping the holes in the lines. If they get to the wall without breaking up, there won't be many left. A mathematical equation... But maybe, just maybe, our own artillery will break up their defenses. There's always that hope.
[sighs]
Lt. Gen. James Longstreet: That's Hancock out there, and he ain't gonna run. So it's mathematical after all. If they get to that road, or beyond it, we'll suffer over fifty percent casualties. But, Harrison, I don't believe my boys will reach that wall.
