A Touching Tribute

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 1998)

When this film was released, I thought it was the ultimate story of the civil war and the men who braved immeasurable odds to make their indelible mark on the world as they knew it. In fact, after almost 10 years, it still stands as the most touching tribute to those men who sacrificed their lives for the greater good. It is the best film of its kind since "The Best Years of Our Lives," and deserved better than the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences would have you believe.
