GDG- Re: Pickett's Charge- various questions

[JIM COOKE]

Battle scenes from "The Movie" w/blood:
Reynold's orderly discovers blood on his glove as he raises the general's head;
"Buster Kilrain" receives mutiple wounds and continues to fight in the defense of LRT.
Just off the top of my head. Now I'll have to watch it again to look for more. Thanks for the excuse/opportunity.

Esteemed GDG Member Contributes:


I was just having a discussion with my 13 year old daughter about "The
Movie" (No, I haven't convinced her to see it yet).  She asked if there
was anything really "good" about it.  I said, in my opinion, the
non-Battle scenes were generally pretty good, but the combat was, for
the most part, pretty awfully done, in that it failed completely to show
the horror of the fighting.  I don't recall a single shot with "blood"
in it, other than hospital scenes. It was so sanitized that it was
almost an insult to the struggles and the courage of those who fought
there.

Compare that to the opening shots of "Glory"-- the Antietam sequence. 
Imagine if Edward Zwick had made Gettysburg, instead of Maxwell!
