Gettysburg (1993): News of Kilrain

[ConstantineJoseph]

Sgt Kilrain is as real as the easter bunny / tooth fairy. Although it is a wonderful portrayal of a friend Chamberlain had, in both Gods and Generals and Gettysburg.

Having fought at Antietam, Fredericksburg and the defense at Chancellorsville. Gettysburg was the crescendo to this series.

Another friend to bury-it is a hard thing to do. I 've had to do that and nothing in the NCO Manual teaches you how to do that-or to deal with the what-ifs.

I just realized that this is the last time Chamberlain speaks in the movie - and there's still a full hour left!

I love you Buster. Ireland forever!

@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 Buster was a fictional character during the war.

[ArmlessOctopus19]

@deerhunter59ify yes, he was a fictional character, but he was based on a real person who fought at gettysburg

Felt so bad for Chamberlain there ... I loved Buster! The way Thomas relates the news, and says, as an afterthought, "I sure was fond of that man" and Chamberlain's sincere grief.  It was so great to see Buster "alive" in "Gods & Generals" and how he meets Chamberlain, and the beginning of their friendship. My other favorite friendship is Hancock and Armistead, the way Armistead just sags over when he hears Hancock fell .... "No! Not both of us." Great films!

Col. Chamberlain's moustache is fun to watch.
