My favorite part in this movie is when Colonel Chamberlain (Played by
Jeff Daniels) orders his men to charge down the hill with bayonets
affixed, towards the attacking Rebel Army because they don't have
enough ammo to fend off another Rebel attack. Sure it was a gamble,
but it worked. Jeff Daniels was excellent in this movie, which also
features: Tom Berenger, Sam Elliott and Martin Sheen as Robert E.
Lee. The Battle of Gettysburg was regarded as the turning point for
the Civil War as well as one of its bloodiest battles. When it was
all over, over 50,000 men were dead. This movie dramatizes the events
but it helps to make history come alive. |
