    One of the most beautiful scenes in cinema history, the delivery of these lines are absolutely perfect and rings true to ones ears.
    It feels so authentic and reels you in wholeheartedly.
    I have such tremendous respect for the men who fought for their God given right to freedom and sovereignty, I always have had, no matter politics.
    Southerners are generally the best people I've had the pleasure of speaking to when it comes to Americans.
    Love and Respect from Sweden.
    Never forget this incredible legacy you have, and what you may need to revitalize again, soon enough.

      1:21 That would be funny if general Pickett, after mentioning 3 people, began to mention a fourth, like "that sergeant behind us, his uncle served-" And colonel freemantle cuts him off, urgently but politely, and says "General, General, I get it, get to the point please." In all honesty, this is an excellent scene, with Richard Jordan doing this in one take, it's so impressive

      This scene is so expertly written, the pacing and the cadence of their dialogue as armisted and freemental walk through the ranks it's just superb, how did Ron Maxwell not get a directors nomination, or a best adapted screenplay? the directing and cinematography are top-notch, and there could have been acting nominations for Richard Jordan, Martin Sheen, and Tom Berenger, they all blew their roles out of the water. Gettysburg is a marvelous movie and it's just amazing to watch several times a year.

      1:33 This is when the monologue begins and it goes on for a full minute and a half, in an unbroken unedited fashion, Richard Jordan so impressively dedelivers whilst walking around trees, turning, etc. I don't think you see this kind of unbroken scene today, everything's in short duration scenes within a continuous dialogue or with other edits happening

      What's with all the victimhood? Who says confederates aren't human? Who said southerners are deplorable for being southern? Genuine question. Aren't you conflating the criticism of actions and glorification, to a criticism of a people's? Those aren't the same thing.

      That farewell party in Gods and Generals including the parts with the singing of the song and Armistead saying to Hancock "May God strike me dead if I ever raise my hand against you!" actually did happen that way. Hancock's wife mentioned it in her autobiography.

    In my youth when I watch this movie I used to wonder how those boys could stand up there and shoot away at each other half the metal deep inside of them just stand and shoot at each other with very accurate rifles. Now in my closing days of life I look at this and I wonder in a lot of ways how could you not do it when you were standing there with every man you've ever known. You're standing there with your uncle's your father the menu grew up with is a boy all the people you've ever known in your life and then a lot of ways it was harder to say no I won't go. This goes for both sides I probably don't know of any braver man than the Yankees under Maureys heights to keep going into that murderous fire took a bravery I don't know that that exits anymore.

      Mostly It died with the 16 million draft dodgers of the Vietnam war. Thank heaven and the men and women we have left. I’ve read only 3 percent of Americans now serve. They are paying for our freedoms while most of America have a simple disregard. “Not my sons”, a coworker told me. A couple generations, now, have been removed from serving. I hope I live long enough to see what a fiasco the next draft will be like. It will be hilarious. They’ll be scurrying like roaches when the lights come on at midnight. I don’t mean to disparage a whole generation. I know and respect young men and women that are serving right now. But I don’t believe this nation is producing many that will sacrifice their time, to save nothing of their lives to preserve our country. I hope I’m wrong.

      The concept of a true “American” nation didn’t really resonate until after World War I. Prior to that, and especially during the Civil War, people were much more inclined to claim a state as home instead of a country.
