Right up there with Gone With The Wind.

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2004)

This is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. It rates with Gone with the Wind and Titanic. Jeff Daniels is wonderful as Joshua L. Chamberlain. Tom Berringer is also marvelous as James Longstreet. The most heartbreaking scene of the entire film, next to the actual brutal charge of General Pickett, was when General Hancock rides out amidst the cannon fire to see if he can spot his dear friend General Armistead. I am proud to share the same name as Ted Turner. He made a true masterpiece with this film, and should be very proud. I was sorry to see him get shot however in the final few scenes of the film. Bet not many folks caught that it was him in Gen. Armistead's final charge! Thanks Ted!! Sincerely, Lisa Turner.
