Why does Sam Elliot have a southern accent when Tom Beringer continues to twang nasily against his best efforts? As a southerner, I can't help but hear the yankee accent clearly in Beringer and none in Elliot's speech. I still thought they did well and loved them movie - can't help but pick on them a bit. Can I go so far as to say that Elliot is great because he sounds so SOUTHERN? :-)

@stellalouise1 Ellliott is a westerner, Berenger is from Chicago. Elliott was doing closer to his own accent (Buford was from Kentucky). Curious thing about this film - we had Jeff Daniels (from Georgia) and C Tom Howell (California) doing Maine; Kevin Conway (NYC) doing Ireland; and Martin Sheen (Ohio) and Richard Jordan and Stephen Lang (both from NYC) all doing Virginia. Elliott was the only one doing anywhere near his own accent.

@rob9641 Jeff Daniels is actually a Michigan native I believe.

[rob9641]

@chippewaman1975 born in Georgia, raised in Michigan - I think he still lives in Michigan

Well done Sam. Whiskers like that dont grow on trees!

@rouseg7 Someone in town at the time said Sam's moustache got there two weeks before he did.

@Florhusband - He became a MAJOR general on his deathbed. He was already a brigadier general. Elliot made a good Buford, don't you think?

Gettysburg should be nominated for "Most Epic Facial Hair in Cinema History".

If it wasn't for Beuford's stubborn defense on the 1st day, the union might have met total disaster and history would be different. Beuford deserves a long over-due Medal of Honor.

Reynolds was a great general. and wasn't afraid to go head on with AP Hills corp even though the rebs had a 2-1 advantage in numbers on the 1st day. its a shame he was killed that day.

[MMSMikey]

not sure why this scene was cut out... i love it when Reynolds tells one of his aides to ride to general meade as fast as he can... that they will fight them inch by inch through the town...that actually happened. its amazing on blue ray. then when he tells Buford the first corp is coming up...11th right behind... great scene.

"Joe, how can you see anything with those things on?"

I'll never understand directors. While not a pivotal scene, it adds scale dimension as the battle began to develop. I have no idea why this was left on the editing room floor.

@Artexerxes101 Nevermind, they're wearing crossed swords not rifles

[bigblondman1]

@stellalouise1 sam elliot being from out west, originally adapted to a southern accent well. plus his character gen. buford was from kentucky. most men in kentucky served with the union. the state remained in the union. also men from eastern tennesee went to kentucky to join union regiments. about 70% fought for the union 30% confederate. later eatern tennesee formed union regiments. and a western tennesee cavalry regiment the 13th, switched sides.

[Artexerxes101]

Some of the soldiers have crossed rifles on their hats, which weren't adopted until 1875, but other than that, the movie was amazing.
