Title: My Favorite movie of all time
Review: Gettysburg has to be my favorite movie of all time. I am disappointed that the extra scenes are not part of the DVD, for those explained in a little more detail the Confederate debacle in front of Cemetery Hill. Although there are some historical flaws, and some of the beards are pretty goofy looking, I felt that the movie was historically accurate. I think there should have been more details about the second day then there was. Not once in the movie was the bloody fight of the first Minnesota mentioned (The book passively mentioned it). However, the drama of Chamberlain's charge gets me every time I see it, as does Pickett's charge. To top it off, Randy Edelman's soundtrack is beautiful and appropriate. I have to admit that I have only seen it through one time (However, I have probably seen it a dozen times if I combine the partial viewings.) I recommend this movie to anyone willing to sit through the 4 hours plus.
Is the review positive or negative?
