@NevadaWrangler Communism eh? Please enlighten us ignorant Americans as to how this country is becoming communistic? Maybe you tea partiers were once looked at as legitimate, but now you're looked at by a lot as obstructionists who cause millions to suffer because of your unwillingness to compromise with anyone who thinks differently. Also, fighting hatred by calling people scum and telling them you'll "vanquish" them? Well I guess it takes scum to know scum.

War never makes sense but civil war is the most senseless and worse of all. Americans first and foremost, democrats or republicans a far second, don't let these arsehole politician's on both sides divide us any further.

The Flag at 3:35 gets me crying everytime.

This opening remains one of the most memorable of any film I've ever seen. I saw this with my dad when I was 10 years old. Until I saw it again, at 17, I never forgot it.

I just love to see all the flags of that time. I like the confederate flags better though. But theres a couple cool looking yankee flags

This is a great movie which is even better on Blu-Ray with the included scenes. The problem most people had with it was they misunderstood the style in which it was filmed. It has a very "stage-like" quality in it with the actors giving speeches to the audience to help convey the emotions of the moment. People didn't understand that and went into this movie thinking it would be like Gettysburg, but they are filmed in different styles.

The real casualty of the Civil War was the loss of the tenth amendment and the subsequent growth in power of the federal government. and we all (on both sides of the Civil War) see what the result of that is. The further the seat of governmental power is away from the people, the more corrupt, unaccountable and arrogant it becomes as it buys votes by govt handouts and steals money from corporate interests. Both the entitlement culture and the special interests have destroyed this country.

@24michiganironbrigad And The Tea party wants to stop socialism from destroying the country, and it will because eventually people will get tired of working for money that gets given to people who won't work and then nobody will work at all, so you be quiet.

@24michiganironbrigad You know that if the Union hadn't oppressed the south after the war, then the southerners wouldn't have been provoked to take it out on black people and the KKK either wouldn't have been as prevailant or not have existed at all! The start of Big government also goes back to the Union oppressing southerners after the war with radical republicans (Now progressives).



I wish they would film "The Last Full Measure!"

Despite it not doing welll at the box office, I'm of the opinion that this is one of the best films of all time. It was much more historically accurate than most, and I love Robert Duvall.
