Must see.

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 1999)

This movie made the civil war interesting and moving for me. I could not begin to tell you what a feat that is.
They should show this movie at every grade school and maybe the USA wouldn't be as messed up as it it now.
Technically awesome, acting is awesome, plot is well paced, characters are memorable and well woven into the plot. When they show the actual black and white photos of the soldiers juxtaposed with the actors' faces, you can't help but get watery eyed. Quiet genius, a gem.
