Title: Sour sneers at a great movie.
Review: I was initially surprised to see that there were so many 1-starreviews for a movie that I found gripping,convincing,and moving.Many were especially scornful of Martin Sheen's portrayal ofRobert E.Lee as a man tired and sick (although he in fact was soat the time of the battle).Hmm,I wonder. It couldn't be because Martin Sheen is aprominent, unabashed liberal, could it? Surely not,since thatwould be using irrelevant, non-artistic, criteria to judge andreject a work of art, and nobody with any intellectual integritywould do that.......Would they?
Is the review positive or negative?
