I remember this came out almost twenty years ago right before she was raised. We were all dying with anticipation. Anywho, TNT is who made this flick and the funny thing is that they wouldn't touch this again for anything maybe to demonize the South. It's a pretty good movie watch it if you get the chance. For all the history addicts out there . Last year restoration specialists found Capt G. Dixon's gold sovereign . It shows how long it takes and the care that goes into preserving our past relics.
Unfortunately this movie was made just a few years too early. Had it waited they would have known much more about the crew, how many there actually were on the sub, and what they looked like. Would have made for a much more accurate and entertaining flick.
Hunley is eternal. But unfortunately the war was decided by Vicksburg on July 4, 1863. Not on Day 3 in Gettysburg. A big strategic mistake of the command let this important region be taken.
@@admiral_alman8671 the only aspect of it I still hold onto is the idea of states rights over the federal government. Our Canadian friend must be agreeing with this too, especially being from another country with its own provinces it must be a unique perspective to look at, but the slavery aspect is why I don’t fly the rebel flag
I think this is reverse projection of the professional military mindset from the progressive era on. Service rivalries were usually more important to the military than even fighting the enemy. It's stupid, but that's the way it was.
Agreed ... army dont have the legs of a navy man... use to solid ground now im a true all the way through army southern woman an will hold true to any but right now there aint no south against the north its Americans against idocracy of the cowards blm an anyone who supports blood looting an murder biedens lynch mob needs a good ole ass kickin im thinkin their mamas didnt soank that ass enough or just didnt care seems to be the repeat story in the big cities so sad..
The character Lt. Dixon showed slot of restraint in not countering the navy commander's insult. Pity Dixon didn't retort, "Perhaps it because the Army is willing to do what the navy no longer wishes to; Sink a yankee warship."
The crew on that Confederate naval vessel probably would have realised that the CSS Hunley was a death trap so they would have likely thought no thanks we will just stay where we are ,as for the Confederate government itself by 1864 they were losing so they would have turned to anything that might give them some sort of life saver .I'm not American but if I'm correct the Confederacy had suffered decisive defeats the year before in early July 1863 at Vicksburg and Gettysburg so by 1864 the Confederacy was likely desperate so they would have tried anything to turn the tide which didn't happen of course. The Hunley itself had a crew of seven or eight with most turning a crank and another I believe as navigator either way several men turning a crank handle as the submarine travelled under water would have meant a huge build up of carbon dioxide which may have made things hard to breath under water then there was that spar torpedo thing that may have been the final nail in the coffin of the CCS Hunley when it exploded after the being attached to the US naval ship it sank may have also taken the Hunley itself to the bottom with it possibly knocking the crew of the Hunley unconscious and maybe even rupturing the CCS Hunley's hull so yes it obviously was a death trap put to sea by a desperate Confederacy on its last legs.

Armand Assante did an excellent job in his role.
Thumbs up from a Canadian sympathizer for the Confederacy!
Ah yes, a person from another country supporting a slave owning faction from a war that happened hundreds of years before he was born
@@admiral_alman8671name one faction in history that hasn’t owned slaves
@@brunsonbacheler the government of the Netherlands? But that’s besides the point. I just find it silly how people cling on to stuff like that

@@brunsonbacheler alright, as someone from a country with powerful state governments I can respect that
Captain should have asked why are you army men trying to do a navy boys job. Given the horrific casualties our boys suffered in the infantry.

You do not f**k with Lt. Dixon
Confederates 🇳🇴
If you want volunteers, offer more pay.
