Despite how much I know now of what a propagandist the director is, maaaan. I physically cannot hear the Little Roundtop sequence music without choking up. To this day. You did excellently, comrade, as always.
Note, I am not a lost causer and am as much of a pro union person as you can get. But as someone who’s left wing, I don’t think Gettysburg was lost cause really at all. Gods and generals was very much lost cause propaganda (and a terribly boring movie) but Gettysburg I feel was just an objective telling of the war from how both sides saw it. The south saw themselves fighting against tyranny, at least many common soldiers did. (This is not to say that they were. The CSA government and ruling class DID fight to preserve expand and save the institution of slavery) but the union characters made it very clear they were fighting for freedom. Chamberlain gave a while speech about it in the first 30 minutes of the movie. I can get why people might say it’s lost cause, but honestly I don’t think it is.
Great song. I loved this movie when I was a young reenactor. It's definitely better than God's and Generals. Now with my politics being what they are it's easy to see the director was putting out conservative pro-confederate apologia

Atun-Shei has done great breakdowns on both movies. Highly recommend checking them out if you haven't already.
