I'm talking the 1993 Docu-movie.

 

[Dakstang]

I don't think I have ever watched it all the way through

 

[Spitfire]

Fuck, I'm tried. I likely sleep if the race was not on tbh.

imagine how i feel lol

 

[Barry Poppins]

You should at least take the time to watch it through once. It's a greatly and heavily detailed historical classic.

 

[Dakstang]

Gods and Generals is supposed to be another good one.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Ehhh, I hear it's very... questionable.

 

[Dakstang]

I hear they are both pretty long so I don't see myself watching them though tbh

 

[Barry Poppins]

Yeah Gettysburg is like four and a half hours.

 

[Barry Poppins]

I think if you're gonna watch Gettysburg, there's only two scenes that are arguably the highlight of the entire thing: Little Round Top and Pickett's Charge.

 

[Dakstang]

With movies about the war I am skeptical. I feel like they would paint things in a certain light.

 

[Dakstang]

So I don't wanna waste my time on them.

 

[Spitfire]

History is always painted to favour the winners or those in power during the time of production

 

[Dakstang]

True.

TBF, I think Gettysburg does a pretty fantastic job of painting each side's (infantry) perspective. Considering it was funded by Georgian Ted Turner after all.
