"There never were harder fighters than the Twentieth Maine men and their gallant Colonel. His skill and persistency and the great bravery of his men saved Little Round Top and the Army of the Potomac from defeat." - William C. Oates who commanded the 15th Alabama who attacked the 20th Maine. "The15th Alabama were manly men whom we could befriend and by no means kill if they came our way in peace and good will" - Col. Chamberlain
I mean that too, fuck all the detractors. America aint perfect, but they stand for what is right and in the end, that is ALL that matters. Thanks America. You have helped (along with MANY others) to ensure that in our time. Right now, morality still lifts its head over evil. Well, mostly. A LOT of despots out there (lookin at you South America, Asia, East Europe, and much of Africa.) But we will get there. Liberty will come. Even if it takes 1000 years... we will FREE all people
I know the truths of the war, but the fact is, history remembers it as the North freeing the slaves. While this may not have been the #1 priority at the time (preservation of the Union was Lincoln's aim, and success) WE remember it as a war to free men in bondage. Forever after this war America would be a beacon of Liberty. God Bless America, as He forgives any shortcomings they might have because of the causes they champion. AND... I am a Canadian, so, no bias here.
Many great charges happened at Gettysburg leading up to the great Pickett's charge, but one charge not as well known and not shown in the movie Gettysburg was William Barksdales charge at the Peach Orchard. One Unioncolonel said "It was the grandest charge that was ever made by mortal man" They pushed all the way to Plum Run and were counter attacked by Colonel George L. Willards brigade. Barksdale was wounded the 12 times and his last words were "Tell my wife am killed, but we fought like hell"
My great great grandfather was an officer in Sherman's Union army but I had ancestors who were in both the North and South armies. We talk about the WWII generation as being "the greatest generation" but, to no disrespect, I believe the Civil War generation should be remembered as the greatest. How God awful it would have been to bring up arms against your fellow countrymen. The re-unification of North and South was the best thing this nation has ever done. It put America on the world stage.
i have walked up that hill one time. It was late may and i was almost out of breath when i got to The Maine monuments. How did the rebs go up it 3 times in JULY!? and with yankee fire the whole time? and why did we even try it? same thing at little round top!!
When colonel Chambers (forgive me if I am spelling that wrong, or misheard the name) was introduced by his brother toward the end of the video, I nearly started crying
Chamberlain was later shot LENGTHWISE through his pelvis bone. He propped himself up w/ his sword until the battle was won. They thought he'd die but he recovered. He spent the rest of his life wearing a primitive catheter, made of leather & metal I suppose. He faced years of war after this & this was not his most desperate battle.
A scholar of languages & the Bible, I wish we heard more about his view of things.
I keep hearing Angels in the Outfield in Randy Edelman's score. Gettysburg came out first but he's definitely one of those composers who recycles his own work.
I LOVE this movie. The Actors did a marvelous job portraying their characters. They seemed genuine in feeling, like they were the ones that stood on theses hallowed grounds back in the Civil War.
@Mr19thIndiana Longstreet's best is hard to pin down, considering his often changing command structure and brigades he commanded under his division. Secondly, the "rout" you speak of was against worn out Alabamans & Georgians who already had marched and fought over very tough terrain & resistance. I think the charge did win the possesion of Little Round Top and held the left flank of the union lines, but it was the stiff resistance before the charge that won the battle...by attrition.
@Evocati2008 Actually I think it was General Custer who won the battle for us..at Gettysberg and perhaps the Civil War. When Pickett charged his 15k men at the middle of the Union army, it was a distraction for Jeb Stuart's Calvarly to pass by the Union right flank and take the Union army from the rear. If it wasn't for Gen. Custer and his "Michigan Wolverines", the right flank would of collapsed and the Union army would have lost the battle..
very true, though some historians doubted that Stuart had enough numbers to actually hold any advantages gained, either way. But Custer did whip him. Marshall's memoirs state that Lee wanted Stuart to put enough pressure on Meade's rear as to distract. In other words, he didn't feel that Stuarts foray was tactically important, but more strategical.
@Evocati2008 I don't think the entire purpose was to win the battle. If Stuart got the flank behind Custer...the Rebs could attack the "fishhook" flank and attack it from the front with pretty good success. I think it was all about getting position on the flank....the rest would of been elementary...most likely.
@vlotom True. Custer led a series of brave, maybe reckless, cavalry charges which drove the Confederates back. It's not even mentioned in the movie. I guess they can't get it all in even in a 4-hour film.
@chippewaman1975 ..True pretty muuch everything that happened on the other flank was pretty much glossed over (except for Trimble's outburst/outrage in a meeting with Lee) and another scene which was deleted involving..Early, Anderson, Ewell and Lee discussing some of action..but yeah that probably would have required another two and half hrs of film to show it.
I'm a Canadian, and I guess I din't have the same emotions invested in this movie as an American might.
But I can only imagine the nightmare of having to go to war against my fellow-countrymen. The soldiers of the American Civil War have my sympathy. May they rest in peace.
@Anekantavad Perhaps we can only imagine the nightmare of having to commit yourself, body and soul to a bayonet charge with the thought of feeling cold steel run through your neck. But i'm sure you would have to make such a commitment whenever the situation presented itself. We all gather some courage deep within ourselves somehow as these men have.
@Anekantavad it is a crazy notion to think about now- american, canadian, whatever. sometimes families would be broken up over it. brothers, fathers, sons fighting on opposite sides.
Democracy is in the current time a word for the rich to use it like they want.
I am a single father and every day i have to fight for my kids. I understand that democracy is the key for a better life for all. But the Word will be abused from

democratic in my own little world. I read a lot from Immanuel Kant and his kategorik Imperativ and I think his thesis are a good direction for me and my little world.
I am from Germany and you are absolutely wright. Such scenes ruins the moment but in any case! it is a great movie and you live in a wonderful country!

@Igele1000 It's amazing what could happen if politicians focused on taxing the rich, spending a little more, and giving certain perks to businesses that discourage outsourcing. Both Germany and the U.S. could benefit from that, I think.
@Igele1000 I'm not sure about your political parties in Germany, but once we have a Democratic majority in both houses and the Presidency again, we will be golden. Greetings from Whitman, Massachusetts, which is just south of Boston.
I like the part at 4:40 when Captain Hawkins asks Chamberlain for water and the colonel says yes. That scene is my favorite part of the movie, for it shows that in the end, we are all countrymen
@aarondavis2012 Well, the federal government couldn't let them leave over slavery. Even though freeing the slaves wasn't Lincoln's goal until later on, I will gladly take a unified country and the freedom of 4.5 million people over a divided country with slavery.
@aarondavis2012 The correct term should be racist, traitor or terrorist, and even al three, but not confederate. It is technically and legally impossibe to invade one's own country so the USA did not invade itself; it liberated Americans being held as slaves from a bunch of thugs, racists and rapists.
@goldcoastlawyer Believe me, I have no love lost for the Confederacy, as I am from Massachusetts. Calling the Southerners racist is probably accurate, but the same could be said for the majority of the North as well. Also, the majority of Southerners were not thugs, rapists, and didn't even own slaves. However, I agree with you that the thug and racist titles apply to slaveowners. I think you are overgeneralizing a little, for the subject of your anger should be directed at Southern planters.
@goldcoastlawyer *giggle* yeah, no offence man but I'd take one obama before any 52 southern rednecks. I asked him why a person whould vote negative on this clip. The north won, clearly presented within this clip, so I was curious.
@Remman Obama is the biggest racist there is. Blacks in America are worse off than even under Jefferson Davis. 50% of black youth are unemployed and race relations are the worst since slavery ended. People who hate America and hate blacks agree with the traitors in the so-called confederacy and obama.
@Remman that accounts for your racism, ignorance and body odor. Really what is it with you people and your belief that deoderants are a marketing scam?
@KWCline91 Yeah, they don't make em' like this when there are just african citizents being killed off, or baltic. So "best" civil war movie sound sort of pretentious.
What's wrong with me? I am not bloodthirsty nor am I a soldier but I lump up every time I watch Jeff Daniels shout "bayonets!". The only scene that matches it is "I am Spartacus". Oh well, Dr Johnson said: "Every man thinks meanly of himself for never having been a soldier" so who am I to argue?
If you ever hear your commanding officer scream fix bayonets, it is an all or nothing charge where many lives will be lost. It usually makes or breaks a battle.
One of the greatest films i've ever seen. Great portrayal of chamberlain. One thing i really didn't like though is the constant playing of music. It would have been a little better if they didn't use music in this movie as much.
Disorder 82 - Great job on this!! Hey can you do the same thing for the last scene of 'Glory' - the 54th Mass' assault on Fort Wagner? All the good quality clips of this scene have been removed from YouTube.
FUCK THE CONFEDERACY!!!!! They rebelled against the US...It's no different than Al Qaeda, China, or North Korean declaring declaring war on the US....FUCK THOSE TREASONERS!!!!
@hupoi - Most historians would not agree hupoi. Although he was wounded twice (bruise to the hip and shrapnel in the foot) most historians say he did order the charge.
As a confederate once described him "one of the knightliest soldiers he had ever met". From a simple act of humanity to one soldier to the salute to the entire confederate army. Truly a man who understood that an enemy is not equivalent to a demon but rather a fellow human being.
George Washington as commander of the American Army set the standard. In Old Europe medals the norm. Washington felt that all soldiers deserved praise. The highest praise being mentioned in dispatches. Or sometimes a special medal was struck as authorised by the government. Think of all the men of the Revolution from George Rogers Clark, to Mad Anthony Way, Washington. They had honor and not medals. Honor to Gen Chamberlain. The Long Gray Line Will Never Fail.
its just unfortunate that so great a hero was never give a proper medal of honor ceremony it was mailed to him almost 30 years after the battle occurred
brilliant tactic. something he learned reading old military manuals. nobody had done it in ages. not bad for a college professor. this man may just have saved the union. funny how one idea from one man can change history.
Nice rip of one of the best parts. I saw this movie in the theatres and it was stirring to say the least. One of those great movies that gets better with age.

The Confederate officer who surrendered to Chamberlain can be seen directing artillery fire in a later scene, just prior to Pickett's Charge. Oops!

As a confederate once described him "one of the knightliest soldiers he had ever met". From a simple act of humanity to one soldier to the salute to the entire confederate army. Truly a man who understood that an enemy is not equivalent to a demon but rather a fellow human being.

Chamberlain: a man of honor & great courage - he never dehumanized the enemy . . .

George Washington as commander of the American Army set the standard. In Old Europe medals the norm. Washington felt that all soldiers deserved praise. The highest praise being mentioned in dispatches. Or sometimes a special medal was struck as authorised by the government. Think of all the men of the Revolution from George Rogers Clark, to Mad Anthony Way, Washington. They had honor and not medals. Honor to Gen Chamberlain. The Long Gray Line Will Never Fail.

brilliant tactic. something he learned reading old military manuals. nobody had done it in ages. not bad for a college professor. this man may just have saved the union. funny how one idea from one man can change history.

One of my favorite lines in the entire movie is right here when Chamberlain Calls out "Bayonets"

@jhertz89 . This raises my hair. Chamberlain was one of the greatest field commanders in the history of the US Army!

@jhertz89 NO THE BEST IS WHEN STONEWALL JACKSON SCREAMS "FIX BAYONETS" WAY BETTER THAN THE YANKEE ONE

Nice rip of one of the best parts. I saw this movie in the theatres and it was stirring to say the least. One of those great movies that gets better with age.
