Gettysburg (1993)

Kino. I don't understand why didnt they make Battle of Shiloh, Battle of Chickamauga and Battle of Antietam using same formula.

All of those battles would work for everyone. You can clown on Union for their frick ups. Incluging clowing Grant and sherman. But at end you have Union victory. Except Chickamauga, but that had heroic stand by union.

Shiloh you could make Albert Sidney Johnston look great. Until he dies and thats why battle turned bad for south. You could show grant and sherman fricking up big time. But grant scramples and keep it toghetor and pull it to through and wins.

Antietam you have south fricking up. But union is full of clowns who cant pour piss out of their boots with instruction writen on heel. Heroci last second save by stonewall. But eventually union wins.

Chickamauga union walks in trap. Rosecrans loses his cool. Thomas (southerner himself) makes heroci stand. Garfields ride to thomas.

South wins. But union makes heroci stand and south cant capitalise victory.

That way you would make lost cause and souther audience happy and make northerners and anti lost causes people happy. So long you dont go crazy with people ranting about slavery and such.

And best part. Once you have wagons, tents, gear, uniforms. Muskets and cannons. You have all the props you need to make all three movies. It would be like lord of ring. Where first movie was used to make all the props. Making next two movies cheeper and allowing you to have bigger set piece battles
