d6a2afd33b Twenty thousand Civil War enthusiasts gathered at the fields of Gettysburg to commemorate the epic battle&#39;s 140th anniversary with a reenactment–and filmmaker Robert Child was on hand to document the event. The dramatic story unfolds through both Union and Confederate commanders&#39; dispatches, diaries and after-battle reports. Gettysburg Three days of Destiny is the compelling story of the commanders, decisions and pivotal moments of the battle that turned the tide of the American Civil War This movie isn&#39;t even worth taking the time to write a bad review. The only positive thing about it is that after watching a movie like this, we can appreciate how good other films we sometime call average actually are…<br/><br/>This motion picture has managed to make one of the single most interesting and epic battles in the history of mankind into a dull and boring event. It sucks evena documentary, because i don&#39;t think even a History professor would manage to understand what is going on, let alone someone who should learn something about the battle by watching the film and begin to understand how it all actually happened… The &#39;acting&#39; if I can dare call it that, is a story of it&#39;s own. Let it suffice to say that it should be utilized in acting schools in order to let students see how ridiculous bad acting can actually look on screen. I don&#39;t even want to mention the battle scenes or the camera, or the direction, or anything else for that matter for it would just be a further waste of time. A bunch of amateurs ran around with camcordershundreds of weekend warriors (possibly after a beer-fest) put on uniforms and tried to play act. The audio is so poor it should have subtitles. Many scenes include soldiers standing around waiting for direction while white plumes of smoke appear here and there. The cameramen can&#39;t seem to hold a shot or let go of the cheap power zoom.<br/><br/>Quick summary of Scene 7: A group of Union soldiers are running. The General waving his sword in the air gets shot and falls. Two men drop their guns, come to his aid and try to help him run again. One gets shot. The General taps the shoulder of the other heavy guy (wearing light blue SWEAT pants) like he wants to be released. The heavy guy lets him go, forgets his gun, runs a few more steps then walks like the scene is over. In the mean time the General gets shot again and throws his arms back exactly like the first time. No shot effects… just acting. The General sweating on the ground looks like a binge drinker with heat stroke. The Union soldiers have all gone back the way they came. From this same direction a group of Confederate soldiers arrive.<br/><br/>They shouldn&#39;t tout this like it&#39;s a big budget epic drama. This looks like a no budget unplanned weekend shoot. Ken Burns does a much better job with still photos.
