Good Civil War movie

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2015)

This by far one of the longest movies i've watched. In some scenes when it wasn't an action scene, it was hard to focus on what was going on. The acting in this movie was very good. Jeff Daniels, who played General Chamberlain had the best acting performance. It was also a very realistic movie without being a gory movie. I've visited one of the battlefields pictured in the movie so i had a connection to it. Some parts were truly inspiring and moving which makes it a good movie to watch as a family. The director definitely took the time to research the facts about the war and included as much historical context as possible. In the end, i would recommend this movie to friends and family due to the historical accuracy of the battle at Gettysburg.
