Did people really talk like that in those days?

I doubt it.
I am not sure, but I don't think that ordinary people during the Civil War era would have spoken to each other like they were addressing an audience at a political rally or a church congregation.
Absolutely appalling dialogue spoils what could have been a OK movie. I can usually take the good with the bad with most movies. I understand that no movie is perfect, and that you have to look past negative aspects of films to enjoy them. However, the dialogue is so bad I just could not look past it. From start to finish it is just horrible! Whoever wrote the script should be shot.
