VHS Movie Reviews of Gettysburg (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]

Movie Review: Beards, Speeches, Bodies
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought the video at the Gettysburg battlefield bookstore after touring it with a friend and a very knowledgeable guide.

I'm only 1 hr into the movie, but am already learning a lot. For example, I didn't realise all those impressive beards we see in ancient photographs were fake. I assumed they were real, but I guess I missed the detail in the grainy pictures.

The only minuses so far, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is that the speeches the officers give (and there have been a couple of doosies) seem a bit too long and rehearsed for having happened on the spot, during a battle. Also, the soldiers seem a bit too chipper, running past and kneeling next to dead bodies as if they weren't... dead bodies. I mean, if I had a dead body next to me, I'd be kinda bothered by it.

PS! My friend insists the they grew real, natural beards back in the 1860s and that the beards in the movie are supposed to look real. But there's no way that's possible. No conscious human being could possibly have expected any other conscious human being to think they're realistic.

Movie Review: Excellent portrayal
Summary: 5 Stars

It's been out for years, but this movie still brings forth the reality of character, circumstance, and event of Gettysburg in a way that keeps us captivated long, long after the last credits roll by. Even though, in the four hours length of it, we are presented with only small samplings of what was a monumental three-day battle that continues to comprise more than any one human being can wholly comprehend in a lifetime, "Gettysburg" draws the viewer in to where s/he can't help but want to visit this place, walk these hills and fields, and read and learn more and more of what happened there, and how what happened there has continued to define who we are, even now, as a nation. At any rate, up until the very recent past ...

Movie Review: Battle of Gettysburg
Summary: 5 Stars

This was an awesome movie. The sound track is stirring and with it you feel as tho you are there, in the mist of this historic battle of our nation. The colors are clear and sharp as is the movie itsself. The only thing that was wrong with this movie is the Disk itsself. Its two sided, which is fine, but not marked as side A and B, which I had to do. Other than that I urge people to purchase this movie, sit back and feel the hair raise on your arm's, and neck when the music sound track starts, right at the begining. Your heart starts beatting, you sit on the edge of your chair, and you may find yourself rooting the troops on, whichever side, Blue or Grey, you favor. Historicly speaking, this battle of wills UNITED a Nation split apart from itsself. Watch the movie, see that for yourself. Julius J. Yuhasz, Jr.
