One of the best Civil War films ever.

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2000)

Superb acting by all the cast, realistic battle scenes brought home the glory, and horror of war. Attention to detail was good. Although, in the quartermaster's store, when Colonel Shaw was trying to get shoes for his regiment, he begins by asking about 600 pairs of shoes and socks, then goes on to ask the quartermaster if he thinks that keeping 700 Union soldiers without proper footware is funny. Apart from that, great, I have it on LD, have watched it a dozen times, so far, and will probably watch it a dozen more times.
