One of my favorite movies

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2001)

Gettysburg is one of my top ten favorite movies. To the Englishman living in Australia who suggested that only Americans would like this movie and expressed his disdain for American nationalism, I suggest you watch the following movies: Braveheart, The Patriot, and In the Name of the Father. I bet you will really enjoy those movies as well. While you are at it, you may want to watch Patton, the movie regarding the American General who rescued Europe from Nazi rule.
As for Gettysburg, this movie really brought the battle alive for me. I especially enjoyed the performances of Stephen Lang as Pickett, Richard Jordan as Armistead, and Kevin Conway as Kilrain. Stephen Lang's response to Sheen (General Lee) toward the end of Pickett's unsuccessful charge, was wonderfully delivered, such that it brings tears to my eyes whenever I watch that scene. But then again, I am just a silly patriotic American.
