Incredible!

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 1999)

This film is extremely good. 90's epics are often either pretentious nonsense or boring nonsense...Gettysberg is neither. Great, great film and soundtrack. Just one viewing can turn a perfectly normal human being into a ravening, foaming Civil War addict! Speaking of civil war addicts, it is with some amusement that I read the impassioned comments of Americans about this film. For goodness' sake, the war is over! As an Aussie I think I am a neutral in this matter, so I say, shake hands and forgive and...etc. Bottom Line: Top film, makes you realise just how horrifying a civil war is...P.S. the novel is also fantastic.
