Gods and Generals

Yes, I was talking about you IBG lol. Anyway, yes, G&G is great, they did Fredericksburg really well, and I think that the reason that the Irish scene is so touching, is that they really don't have a quarrel with each other, they are just doing their best to serve their new county. But they really over-simplify matters like Burnside's decision to attack; it just wasn't that simple.

I agree with you, GS, they did Fredricksburg rather well. There were other parts that were done very good as well. As I have watched that movie many times, (pretty much just to catch our friends in it again...) I can pretty much recall to memory any point in the movie.

I think the reason why we are touched by the Irish seen is we've gotten use to the fact that the north and south were killing each other. We know that they were brothers and fathers and such but, we never truely think about it.

So true...i really wonder how many of us actually think on how many family members were fighting each other from each side.

Not alot thats for sure.

What the heck you talking about Coby? The war was all about family members shooting each other, especially if you lived in the border states.

I'm saying alot of people don't think of that today, thats what I'm talking about IBG.

Oh, I thought you were saying not alot of people did back then.

no, maybe I should have been more spacific.

I think that Gods and Generals was an ok show, but that is just me.

it was OK from what I saw of it.

If you like big monologues. I ought to see how many monolouges on there and how many real conversations are on there.

you do that.

Fine, I will.

fine!!!

I just found out that they are planning to bring out a special edition of the movie.

when?

I don't know when. I tried finding a due date but, I can't. Also, supposibly they are putting a battle that was cut from the film, the Battle of Antietam for your information.

interesting, very intersting indeed.

I read about them cutting Antietam from the film. I wonder what part it was. I think the Cornfield would be pretty cool. So would the Sunken Road. Not the Bridge though. I cringe every time I read about it.

sounds cool.

Well keep looking that would be a really good movie.

I was always somewhat ticked after the movie that they left the Battle of Antietam out. That had so much potential there....I hope it comes out around Christmas.

I hope so too. (not that I agree with you or anything )

Who knows? They say they are, then, they aren't. They don't have a clue.
