Additional InformationThis epic film from writer-director Ron Maxwell chronicles the early events of the American Civil War. It's a prequel to his earlier GETTYSBURG, with some of the same cast, and is part of a planned trilogy. Stephen Lang plays Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the famous (and deeply religious) Confederate general who, along with fellow General Robert E. Lee (Robert Duvall), must weigh the mighty consequences of his actions, as each battle costs the lives of thousands of men. Over on the Union side there's Jeff Daniels as Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, who, like Jackson and Lee, is fond of making long, poetic speeches to his troops. Beginning with the start of the war and ending with Jackson's death, the film chronicles the three main battles leading up to Gettysburg, using their actual locations and thousands of actual Civil War re-enactors as extras. Maxwell pays careful attention to authentic period detail as he chronicles the minutiae of the generals' domestic lives in the intervals between the harrowing battle scenes. While a little on the long side, the end result should serve as an invaluable document for history buffs. Mogul Ted Turner was an executive producer and appears in a small role.

  • Brilliant War Film

    Gods and Generals is one of the best war film of modern times. The acting is brilliant and characters are believable and,realistic and the film is historically accurate in every detail although some of the actors are a bit chubby for the period. The beards are better than in the film Gettysburg and some of the speeches are a bit to long, but the action shots are some of the best on film. This is a mans film and I don't think women will enjoy it so much. It contains all the emotions, Sadness . Laughter etc.,. I first purchased this film as a boxed set some years ago, but my copy of Gods and Generals got scratched so I had to buy this film again, because it is such a good film. Try it ,you will, I promise , enjoy it.

  • Summed up already

    It’s a good film. A bit long winded at times yet there were abrupt cuts that had been made that stopped the flow. Overall happy with it
