@RichardElden Pro war?? You fool. A pacifist family of Quakers trying to stay out of a Civil War that threatens them is a pro war film, really? I doubt Cooper hated this great film. He did want to include a scene where the father does join the fight I read. I think it is you that is awful and quite callow..
@irish89055 I think his point is that a pacifist family is ultimately forced into supporting the war, thereby seemingly making it pro-war. I'm not sure I agree with either your or his statement, however. I don't see it as being pro- or anti-war. This film is about a family whose ideals and way of life are threatened and challenged by the war.
Fantastic movie, one of my all time favorites. Saw it when it first came out in the theater, I was 8 years old and fell in love with it and also Tony Perkins and Pater Mark Richman. Incredible that Tony Perkins went from this role to Norman Bates in Psycho just a few years later.

Your planet (whatever it is, or was) has long-since departed. Defend your bold and seemingly nonsensical statement.
