“Gettysburg” is one of my all-time approved war films! It re-creates the Civil War’s battle of Gettysburg with helpful acting, an pleasurable screenplay, a hauntingly fine musical net, and some of the most authentic and stirring battle scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie.
Based upon Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize winning new “The Killer Angels,” this film follows the distinguished characters, and chronicles the main events, which occurred at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from July 1-3, 1863. The events depicted in the film are necessary for their historical accuracy. Some of the most keen battle scenes in the film are General John Buford’s engagement with the Confederates on the high ground north of Gettysburg on July 1; the defense of Exiguous Round Top by Colonel Joshua Chamberlain’s 20th Maine on the following day; and, of course, Pickett’s Charge on the final day of the battle. The battle scenes possess plenty of smoke and fire, but are also very tastefully done with a minimum of blood and gore.
The acting in “Gettysburg” is helpful throughout. Jeff Daniels, who portrays Chamberlain, probably gives the best overall performance, but Martin Sheen (Robert E. Lee), Tom Berenger (Gen. James Longstreet), Sam Eliot (Buford,) Stephen Lang (Gen. George Pickett), and Kevin Conway (Sergeant Kilrain) also give performances which are outstanding for their realism, grittiness, and historical accuracy. Special mention must also go to the leisurely Richard Jordan, whose portrayal of Confederate General Louis Armistead was consistently eloquent and challenging.

“Gettysburg” is a long movie; it runs to objective over four hours. Tranquil, it held me spellbound from originate to enact, mainly due to its dramatic intensity and realistic battle scenes. I highly recommend this outstanding film not only to Civil War enthusiasts, but for anyone who loves a sumptuously produced and well acted war film.
Many other reviewers have written about the movie Gettysburg itself, so I notion I would comment on the DVD itself.
I have an extensive DVD collection, and if you have experienced what I have, among them are the ample quality transfers and some trusty dogs. Gettysburg might well be THE finest transfer I’ve seen. The video (I play it on a widescreen HDTV) and audio are outstanding. I must emphasize that the video delivers extraordinary clarity, perhaps the best I’ve seen. Clearly, the careful attention to detail and loving recreations that were the foundation for the recent movie have been carried to the DVD with that same committment. It is refreshing to sight a studio that REALLY cares about its product.
As an aside, I should also mention I am an amateur Civil War historian focused on the battle of Gettysburg and of course accept the film an outstanding, albeit puny, short history of the battle. This DVD will expand other people’s knowledge if they avail themselves of the feature length commentary, especially the portions by James McPherson from Princeton U. His tale not only amplifies details of what the movie shows, but also puts a broader perspective on it, such as other valuable engagements at Gettysburg such as Culp’s Hill, the Wheatfield, and others.
