GDG- movies

[Michael Brubaker]

I wish they would make a "Saving Private Ryan" style
Civil War movie.  All the ones I've seen, gloss over
the pure brutality of battle and there is very little
bloodshed.  Not that I'm a blood and guts fanatic, but
my respect for World War 2 veterans skyrocketed after
seeing Spielberg's movie and I think the Civil War
would be made more pertinent to future generations
with a more realistic depiction.  Put it this way,
what you read in books, is nowhere near what I've seen
on the silver screen.
