For example, the fighting on Culp's Hill, Sickles's stupidity in moving forward without orders, and Barksdale's role in the attack on the southern end of the 'fishhook' all tend to be ignored or glossed over elsewhere.<br /><br />I don't think that the gore was overdone (this was one 'complaint' that I read in a review of the film) and the whole thing looked a bit more realistic than its namesake film. (The soldiers and uniforms looked quite dirty and ragged, especially once the fighting started.)<br /><br />Not a comfortable film to watch, but nonetheless it was very worth watching.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-45974160329857374372013-08-15T23:34:18.514+01:002013-08-15T23:34:18.514+01:00I thought this was a pretty interesting and differ...I thought this was a pretty interesting and different take on Gettysburg and I particularly enjoyed the attention paid to the fighting at Culp's Hill, which is somewhat neglected in other treatments on the battle.GrumbleJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967748380221324792noreply@blogger.com
