| | Amazon.com: Video: Gettysburg (Widescreen Edition) (1993) |
 | | 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. |
 | | It re-creates the Civil War's battle of Gettysburg with superb acting, an excellent screenplay, a hauntingly beautiful musical score, and some of the most authentic and stirring battle scenes I've ever seen in a movie. |
 | | The movie covers the brutal three-day conflict fought at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from July 1st through July 3rd, 1863 mainly through the experiences of three incredible men: Confederate General Robert E. Lee (Martin Sheen), Confederate Lieutenant General James Longstreet (Tom Berenger), and Union Colonel Joshua L. Chamberlain (Jeff Daniels). |
