Gettysburg,Waterloo,Stalingrad

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 1999)

Three battles where previously invincible armies perish. For all their courage, sacrifice and skill, they just fail to take the last few yards, and are utterly destroyed. All the battle scenes were magnificent. But me for as a foreigner all the "North-South heartsearching" was embarassing. These soldiers sound like they attend flower arranging circles in their spare time. All the same I've been a Confederate since I was nine, they were wonderfully portrayed. We will never know why Robert E. Lee ordered that charge. Best battle (note not war) film ever!
