One man's battle

Rating: 2/10 (26 April 2002)

Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background, the countless minor scenes and interiors of the secession war; and it is best they should not. The real war will never get in the books."
--Walt Whitman
Nor will real war ever truly be filmed. This was one man's vision and memory. Perhaps shared by others, but once taken in this vein this expression of one battle is a little easier to take.
This most certainly was a movie...actors, makeup, lines to be delivered, and lots of posing. All created from the memory of one man. Maybe he needed to win his war.
