      The great biographical film of the great general of Christ

      I spent two weekends watching the movie Gettysburg and the Gods and Generals in the United States with respect. Although it was built by the same team, there are big differences in style.

      Beyond the winners and losers-Impressions of "Gods and Generals"

      Title Card: A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some spot of a native land, where it may get the love of tender kinship for the face of the earth, for the labors men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar unmistakable difference amidst the future widening of knowledge. The best introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a little lot of stars belonging to one's own homestead. - George Eliot
