Joshua L. Chamberlain and the divine spark within the killer angels
Two scenes illustrate very well the deep divisions that led to the Civil War between the Confederates and the Union Army in the United States.
“Why can't they live the way they want to, and let us live the way we want to? ‘Live and let live’, as they say there”, asks the Confederate soldier, taken prisoner of war.
In another moment, Colonel Josua Chamberlain, commander of the 20th Regiment of Maine, wonders how southerners - so academic and educated, true aristocrats - can live with slavery. "I never understood", he says, puzzled.
“You can't judge a race. Any man who judges by the group is a pea-wit. You judge one man at a time”, replies private Buster Kilrain. “There was never a difference for me”, argues Chamberlain.
The colonel then makes a speech about the ‘divine spark’ of man. “What a work is man. As it is infinite in faculties, form and movement. How categorical and admirable. In action, he looks like an angel”, idealize. “If is an angel, he is right. But he can be a killer angel”, adds Kilrain.

Coronel Joshua L. Chamberlain e o brilho divino dentro dos anjos assassinos
Duas cenas no filme “Gettysburg” (1993) ilustram muito bem as profundas divisões que levaram à Guerra Civil entre Confederados e o Exército da União, nos Estados Unidos.
“Por que não podem viver do jeito que querem, e deixar que vivamos do jeito que queremos? ‘Viva e deixe viver’, como dizem por aí”, pede o soldado confederado, feito prisioneiro de guerra.
Em outro momento, o coronel Josua Chamberlain, comandante do 20° Regimento do Maine, se questiona como os sulistas - tão acadêmicos e educados, verdadeiros aristocratas - podem conviver com a escravidão. “Eu nunca entendi”, diz ele, intrigado.
“Não se pode julgar uma raça. Qualquer homem que julgue um grupo é um imbecil. Julga-se um de cada vez”, responde o soldado Buster Kilrain. “Para mim nunca houve diferença”, defende Chamberlain.
O coronel, então, faz um discurso sobre o "brilho divino’ do homem. “Que obra é o homem. Como é infinito em faculdades, forma e movimento. Como é categórico e admirável. Em ação, parece um anjo”, idealiza. “Se é um anjo, tudo bem. Mas pode ser um anjo assassino”, completa Kilrain.

    These men, these brave men, were NOT traitors! They were simply men and boys fighting for their homeland against an invader who wished to force them to remain part of a country that they wished to have no further association with, the same way an abusive husband forces a battered wife to stay with him after she tries to leave. And before you begin the old and tired line "They were traitors fighting to keep slaves!" Allow me to disabuse you of that thought; many of those in the south were simple farmers who could barely afford shoes, let alone a slave.

      ​​@@marchess286 I will be the first to admit that the south should have freed the slaves as soon as America was born. It is a crime that will always be laid at the founder father's feet that they allowed our country to be born with slavery still attached to it. But what you and almost everyone fail to realize is that by 1861, the south had become almost totally dependent on slavery for its economic survival, even as they detested it as an abhorrent sin. And the North, while screaming for slavery to end, could not come up with a solution that would not end with the Southern economy in utter ruins. Add to that, the South was paying nearly 1/3 of the taxes at the time and receiving almost nothing in recompense and you can see why they chose to leave.

      Glory was at least as good with respect to acting and battle scenes. It also didn't have to cover up slavery as the cause of the war with a lot of lost cause sentimentality. The is a great scene. But, the movie should have added a scene showing Lee's Army of Northern Virginia kidnapping free blacks of Chambersburg, PA, into slavery. That would have made it clear what the war was about.

I would like to think that I would have been an abolitionist then in the same manner that I am a progressive Liberal in our modern timeline. There are so many issues to unpack, here. I'm an American - red white and true - and I love all of my fellow Americans, no matter what political ideology they espouse. Except... Former Conservatives-turned-Trumpists will believe anything a single leader says to them, encouraged by their pastors and priests who sell crackers for flesh and wine for blood (or is it just symbolic and that's why evangelicals can get away with using pre-packaged welches grap juice...).

      See, you're thinking about this all wrong. Over 280,000 people have died from a virus that's 98% survivable, WITH restrictions and masks. Just try and use that pea sized brain of yours to think about how many people would die if we had no restrictions or masks. If we remove restrictions and everyone in America catches it, at its current death rate, over 6 million people will die. But of course the death rate will increase as we run out of hospital beds to put people in, so it's actually likely more than 6 million. And let's not forget, we still have no idea what the long terms affects of this virus are. The safe, the responsible, thing to do is to wear a mask, and if necessary for the region, lockdown.

    I love this movie, but the second half had so much that didn't need to be in the final print, and this scene is a great example. There's just too much buildup for Pickett's Charge when the production didn't have the budget to make it as overwhelming as they wanted/needed to. This was shot as a TV miniseries with a very limited budget that was almost constantly getting nickle-and-dimed by Turner executives. In the end, these scenes dragged down a movie that had incredible narrative momentum through the first half. Still a classic, and of course RIP to Mr. Jordan.
