Long, yet very historically and intriguing film, filmed on location

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2017)

Gettysburg, based on Michael Shaara's award-winning novel, The Killer Angels, this film depicts the long and violent three day battle between the Union and the Confederates in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I really liked this movie because it was actually filmed in Gettysburg and for the most part, it remains very consistent with the historical accuracy of the actual battle with very few errors. This movie could be related to the Battle of Gettysburg (1913). The main difference between them is the filming location where Gettysburg was filmed on location where the Battle of Gettysburg was filmed in Malibu, California. Also, the Battle of Gettysburg was a silent film. In conclusion, Gettysburg was a very good film and I would recommend viewing it but make sure you have plenty of free time!!
