  That was a really cool effect of you narrating from the B/W picture frame

  I agree that Buford&apos;s role is exaggerated, however, from a narrative viewpoint it works well: Through him, we are introduced to the tactical background of the battle and understand the importance of that particular terrain. If the movie focused on the more intense fighting later during the first day, it would have lessened the dramatic impact of the events during day 2 and 3.

  I wish more emphasis was placed on the literal fact that Lee&apos;s army kidnapped free blacks and sold them into slavery.

  This first historical inaccuracy that always immediately jumps out to me whenever I’m watching Gettysburg is that all the common soldiers look to be between 40-65 and kind of heavy

  I get the feeling that Maxwell was a competent TV director, and under the wing of Ted Turner and TNT, he did that job well enough. Unfortunately, the success of <i>Gettysburg</i> gave Maxwell the illusion that he was some kind of filmmaker. Then, he made <i>Gods and Generals,</i> proving that he wasn’t.

  I think the Witchfinder General needs to do a thorough investigation of your home if your photos are coming to life and speaking Harry Potter style! Something foul is about!

  Last time I was this early it was to see what so proudly we hailed through the twilight&apos;s last gleaming.

  &quot;Toxic Civil War fandom&quot; Is certainly not a phrase I expected to hear today.
