	Gettysburg (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gettysburg was a 1993 movie that dramatized the decisive American Civil War Battle of Gettysburg.
		It was directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, who also wrote the screenplay, adapted very faithfully, odten word for word, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1974 novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara.
		An editor's cut, with several extended or deleted scenes, was produced and sold as a part of a special VHS boxed set, which also included Mort Künstler's book of Gettysburg paintings, an original Civil War lead bullet, some stock photographs of key officers from the battle, and other items.

	Review: Gettysburg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Gettysburg, Ronald F. Maxwell's re-telling of four hot days during the summer of 1863 (based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara), is a spectacle that gathers power and momentum with every scene.
		The film is divided into two parts, with an intermission in between (the length of the intermission varies from ten minutes to twenty-five minutes, depending on theater management).
		While this section of the film may be a little too talky, it is positioned immediately after the intermission when the audience is better able to tolerate a slower forty minutes.

	Gettysburg
		After the election of Abraham Lincoln as 16th President of the United States in 1860, the leader of the Southern Democrats, Jefferson Davis, was at the forefront of a movement that lead to the division of America.
		Gettysburg tries to follow the historical events, shows the horrors of war as well as for instance the conflicts of strategy the Southerners should follow.
		No great movie but a four-hour film that tries to be fair to both camps, avoiding a fl and white picture of the historical drama.

		GETTYSBURG, a Ted Turner film adaptation of THE KILLER ANGELS first brought to the big screen in 1993, cannot be considered a great film for a few reasons, but can be considered glorious for many reasons.
		Gettysburg is not the end all and be all of historical movies.
		It is a tale of Gettysburg, of how some of the critical forces involved may have reacted in their position.

	DVD Times - Gettysburg
		The film was made at the actual locations where the battle took placein (give or take the odd concession to avoid filming war monuments) which gives a real sense of the space that the men had to fight in.
		They spend the film looking wistfully towards the enemy camp and wishing they could see their friend for one last time, but as nothing very much comes of it it feels a bit of a wasted opportunity.
		A dual-layered flipper disk, the film is split between the two sides and is presented in an anamorphic 1.85 print, while the extras are a mixture of wide and full screen.

		Gettysburg is a magnificent movie which is destined to become a classic, stir hearts and inspire its viewers...a film worth watching again and again on the big screen.
		Gettysburg abounds in deft and moving profiles in courage, and the project itself represents an act of artistic bravery...The drama here is in the clash of great armies and the minds of the men who led them...
		Gettysburg's achievement goes far beyond the replication of the battle, although that is managed on a momentous scale.

		This film is a recreation of the battle.
		Some historians disagree with the view that the Battle of Gettysburg was the "The High Water Mark of the Confederacy." They point out that Lee left the field with his army intact and that the South was able to sustain the fight for another 21 months.
		The Gettysburg address was given by President Lincoln on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery.

		The film stars a host of noted actors, all accurately portraying their characters.
		Released in 1993, the film did well in the box office considering the limited showing times at theaters because of this movie's length (at four minutes longer than "Gone With The Wind").
		The film begins on June 30th, the day before the battle began, as the two forces rush to converge.

		Turner was given the rare permission by the National Park Service to film on the Gettysburg battlefield in exchange for a donation of $100,000 for battlefield preservation.
		The film follows the modern interpretation of the Civil War as the shared heritage of North and South, stressing the bravery and heroism of soldiers on both sides.
		But a weakness of the film is its focus on a few major characters rather than the larger context of the battle, allowing only about 30% of the battle to be presented on film.

	Writer & Director Robert Child
		Child’s film, “Gettysburg Three Days of Destiny,” is as historically accurate as it could be more than a century after the battle.
		The 86-minute film was shown at the D.C. Independent Film Festival last week, and Child said he got chills watching his film on the big screen for the first time.
		Another historical aspect in the film is the friendship born between Gordon, a Confederate, and Union Maj. Gen.

		Trivia: Due to the film's running time of four hours and eight minutes, theaters were limited throughout its theatrical run to only two screenings of the show a day, usually at 1pm and 7pm.
		I like this film, I love the fact that it was 4hr30min.
		But non the less the way the director took the story and told it was very nicely done and a film that you couldn't call the greatest but how could you not say you didn't like it, or for that matter even want to purchase it.

	Gettysburg (Widescreen Edition) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Although it received a theatrical release, this four-hour depiction of the bloody Civil War battle was shot as a made-for-television film.
		If the film has a problem, it's that it climaxes too early: the first long segment, detailing the struggle of a "civilian soldier," Union Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (Jeff Daniels), to hold his ground against long odds, is an enthralling piece of moviemaking.
		Writer-director Ronald F. Maxwell seems inspired by the gravity of the battle; long as it is, every moment of Gettysburg is informed by a nobility of purpose.
