Causes you to realise what the Civil War was really like.

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2017)

It was very moving to see how people thought through their decisions and how their decisions changed based on who was expecting an answer/action. Like with Robert Shaw, you could see his mind working and how sometimes he was stuck between wanting to do the right thing and wanting to do what everyone else was expecting. It really showed the divide between the races and how sometimes even though a white man would want to help and side with the blacks, they would say or do what other people would do, even if it hurt the people they were sided with. Also this movie was very sad. I understand it's a war and people die in war, but I cried over these characters, which I guess is what the directors were going for. This movie caused me to feel how the people felt back then when they got news that people died.
Also the music totally gave away that it was going to be sad, but that didn't make it any easier to deal with, and the music honestly probably made it worse emotionally.
