Title: History it is not
Product review: Home Gaurd units were typically made up of the old men and young teenagers of a community. Research finds the descendants of the Home Gaurd units (depicted as brutes and savages in the film) still living there and able to provide evidence of yet another anti-South Hollywood twist. Yes, yes there is the usual dribble about the South fighting for slaves, though fully 85% owned none. Throw in gratuitous violence and a plotless story with the predictable historical flaws and you have wasted $8. Want an overwraught love-story and this will do. Want history? Gods and Generals is still your best bet.
