Marvelous Marvelous Marvelous!

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2003)

The best historical movie ever made. Unquestionably. The realism is staggering. It places you in the battle as you see the major parts of America's battle. Nothing comes closer to the truth of the Civil War than this film. Spectacular, done on the actual sites of these battles. The acting is wonderful. Martin Sheen, Tom Berenger, Jeff Daniels, Sam Elliot, Stephen Lang. Magnificent job bringing these figures from the text book to the screen. Great acting. The characters came to life and you could see their emotion, hear what they were thinking and experience what they with through. Wonderful. A true must see. 10+ **********
