AN EXCEPTIONAL DEPICTION OF THE BATTLE THAT WAS THE TURNING POINT IN THE CIVIL WAR

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2018)

"Gettysburg" was an amazing depiction of the battle that was the turning point in the Civil War. From Martin Sheen as GEN. Robert E. Lee, Tom Berenger as GEN Longstreet, and Jeff Daniels as COL Chamberlain to the extras who played the citizens of Gettysburg the cast was terrific in their roles.
The ability to use the Town of Gettysburg and the actual battlefield only contributed to the films authenticity. The research the Art Director, Costume and Set Designers and crew did to insure the authenticity of costumes, props, and locations enhanced this epic tremendously.
This, in my opinion, is one of the finest movie depicting War ever made. "Gettysburg" ability to humanize war and those who fought in the Civil War sets the standard for future films.
