Gettysburg-"Main Title"

[901MovieMaker]

4:10 In my opinion, award winning line

[pigeonpsycho]

I love war!!! it's so honourable! glorious! to victory!! let's all fight Iran in ww3!!! YES WAR!

[lesmiseponine]

@pigeonpsycho War can be honorable and glorious, but not always. War can make children parentless and widows out of newly married ladies.

I'm not one of those who opose war and thinks that we shouldn't fight wars, but we shouldn't fight people causelessly. We can't just declare war on other nations just because we think it would be fun to say 'I've fought in a real war'.

To put it plainly, war is NOT a game.

[pigeonpsycho]

@lesmiseponine War! War! War! Ever notice how people cheer on their armies like football teams? They say shit like ' we beat you ' or ' we saved your ass ' when the average person did nothing but stuff their face and watch tv?

[lesmiseponine]

@pigeonpsycho If you read any history book, they'll tell you that people were patriotic, and excited to start a war with whatever country. But when they taste the bitter taste of war and what it can do to their loved ones, they wish they never made the rash decision.I mean look at Germany at the middle of WW2. They were all regretting that they'd started that war. All I'm trying to say is war is not a fun thing. It's not something to crave. In the end it affects everybody and their way of life.

1:34, is that a British officer? Arthur Frememble I believe was his name....Am I correct?

[XPhile10131121]

@woo1693 Mostly correct...It's Arthur Freemantle. =)

[woo1693]

@XPhile10131121 Bah! Close enough. Haha, I remember he was an observer. Why was he there? England kept her neutrality.

[XPhile10131121]

@woo1693 It wasn't an officially sanctioned trip. He applied for a leave of absence in 1863 because he, like a lot of other officers, was interested in the American Civil War. Most officers didn't do much about their interest but he decided to take a trip to the South.

[901MovieMaker]

@woo1693 I am not quite sure about the name, but I saw the movie. He is British

[MrMarkRhoads]

@woo1693 Yes, Freemantle was an observer sent from Queen Victoria.  He was a member of the Coldstream Guards.

[s0052701]

@woo1693 Fremantle, Lt. Col Arthur Fremantle of the Coldstream Guards. :) You are correct my friend.

[lesmiseponine]

This is an AMAZING video!! I think this is one of the best movies nexted to Gods and Generals. And the music in epic. What can I say? I'm a civil war buff!

[woo1693]

@lesmiseponine Gods and generals was a disappointment to me in my opinion

[lesmiseponine]

@woo1693 In what way? Becouse it didn't follow the book exacticly, the acting, or just the movie in general?

[xanglat]

Une dantesque création : quelle envolée sauvage !

J'adore !

[Phantom663]

[GettysburgBatle]

[greenmagic12]

from the canadian

[levelat350]

@greenmagic12 Many people cry when they see this.

[valkyriefan1]

i wish are high school band could play this.

[collegefootballrulez]

I would die if our band could play this....I'm not in it but I would love to hear it.

But one could wish............

[waveshock]

@collegefootballrulez The curious fact is, being Randy Edelman, the whole music is probably synthesizer generated, since is the way he usually works. So, it would only take a guy with a good electronic keyboard and synths to reproduce it!

[ambroom]

Our school band is playing a version of it this year, It sounds really cool.

[ambroom]

When the part comes up where only the drum beat is heard a teacher is going to read the Gettysburg Address, pretty epic.

[HayabusaSenToTai]

Great tune. Thanks!
