"Do you know where General Hancock may be found?" "The general is down sir, he's been hit." "NO! Not both of us......not all of us! Please, God!".......
The same God, same language, same culture and history, same songs, stories, legends, myths - different dreams. Different dreams. So very sad. -Col. Arthur Freemantle
Field of lost shoes, Glory. Gettysburg was cut down in length to what is now, did you know that two reenacting societies from plus many more from across America came together to make this film happen. There should of been three movies made but sadly only two was ever done.
This was the personal project of Ted Turner, Founder of Turner Broadcasting Network, who personally wanted to produce and present both sides of the story in as dramatic and historically accurate (i.e. Without Hollywood) context. So that audiences could truly appreciate the sacrifices made at this battle to end slavery and preserve the Union.
For a Civil War film based on historical fact, yes, I'd have to agree. But my favourite Western from that era isn't likely to veer from The Outlaw Josey Wales.
Yes one of the strongest parts of the movie. For me strongest moment was when general Armistead was asking about general Hancock, his old friend while he was dying. I saw a lot of war movies from different eras but this scene is written to my heart. Even for me as a non-american citizen it was a very strong scene as well as whole movie is unforgettable. Very good story (history is best scenarist) and perfect acting. Martin Sheen was incredible as Robert Lee aswell as Tom Berenger as general Longstreet.
Kasurgis: There is no war that tears at a man's soul, more deeply than a civil war. When brother fights against his brother, father against his son and yet numerous other kinsmen with unforgettable savagery launch headfirst into the smoke and musket fire of their family who just happen to be a hundred yards away and wearing a different uniform.
Close tie between this and The Pacific (at least in regard to main theme) although I rank Gettysburg first simply because the movie holds a special place for me.
Best civil war film ever.. Glory was good and Gods and Generals was ok but nothing like Gettysberg... It shows true heroes from both sides.. The battle scenes are well filmed and moving.. I named my son after Joshua after Chamberlain who is one of my heroes
What a fitting ending for a battle that cost so many lives. The final scene with Tom and his brother Lawrence is a very fitting closing. The stunned looks. Tomorrow is Memorial Day, a time to reflect and pay respect to gave who the ultimate full measure, so that we can enjoy that simple word: FREEDOM.
O am an ex civil war reenactor from the Army of Virginia UK , I have deep respect to both sides of the conflict brave men, Gettysburg showed in a powerful way that raw courage that the men in blue or grey endured.
I walked The Battlefield when I was a child of 12 ... and looking back .... The music , had it been playing .. I could more so revered the depth of a nations battle . Music like this lifts me up and brings to me a better understanding .. How many have given their lives , not forgotten For me to live .. In Freedom and aspire for justice for all ..
All that Bloodshed, Bravery, Honor and now everlasting Glory... personally I find this film to be one of the best of all times and this piece of art of music captures it all for me, hope we can all learn from this sacred movie, best regards everyone and stay safe, from Israel.
I always thought this soundtrack deserved an Oscar. Powerful music, but the movie was too far out of the glamor mainstream of insular Hollywood mentality. What a shame.
I enjoyed being in the reenactments (130th) that made up much of the scenery of Pickett's Charge...the 30th Va Co B has a lot of footage...and some cameos by Bruce Drummond, Richie Sarna and the rest of the crew.
Thank you dear Philip for your most important work, it is thanks to people such as yourself that we today as well as future generations are able to see how this battle was laid out, thank you for passing this living history.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
This is the Canadian Ode of Remembrance for its dead in World War I. The Australians have a different Ode. So do the Germans. All of them made mournful. None of them promotes more war.
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest soundtracks to one of the greatest movies of all time. I wish there were more great quality movies like Gettysburg out today.
"Each soul slumbers a little while on this shadowy side of the stream...And waking remembers their life with a smile, as a tale once told in a dream". Let us not forget those gallant men who fell at Gettysburg! My their souls rest in eternal peace.
Remembering being in the theater and so moved when they charge at full step on the ocean berm Bells gloryfing the ultimate sacrifice for one another and for mans redemption for injustice ...
I like this song. In this part of the movie the two brothers look at each other eye to eye and hug each other. Thankful their still alive and have each other.
We could do with another full scale rebellion, maybe it'd shock the people of the United States out of their peace addled complacency and remember what truely matters in life...
I get choked up at some points in some movies. That's just what Cancerians do. We are a sensitive lot. This movie has so many of those moments that it is hard to pinpoint the best. Let's just say that I have watched Gettysburg 5 times since 1993, and each time I get more than a little choked up.
I'm a Taurus, and I do get the feelings of many emotions from this music. I thank skater, Todd Eldredge, for using it in his program, a while back. Never had heard of it. So, I bought the movie, and had the additional high of viewing it, particularly the performance of Jeff Daniels. He brought me to tears.
They were Farmers and School Teachers... Gentlemen and Laborers... They came from Maine and Texas... New York and Virginia... Fate made them Soldiers... War made them Brothers... Courage made them Heroes... GETTYSBURG! AMERICA'S ARMAGEDDON!
It is 2012, and this music still brings tears to people's eyes. This music really brings out the sadness and chaos that was Gettysburg. And it still applies to today's events. It was 9/11 yesterday. And yet this song still echoes among its viewers. Rest in peace, for the fallen.
As a loyal KANSAN now living in Okla, And with a name Bill, Im a Billy Yank and have been for over 70yrs. I watched the movie in a theater that had heavy curtains hanging from the side walls, and I could clearly see the curtains moving to the revibrations of the cannon fire. I was amazed, and awed
God's hand was in this battle. THough the war was started from the argument of states rights, it was truly fought to end the injustice of slavery. God bless the men who laid down there lives for what was right. Who had the courage to fight for those who did not have a voice.
oh god slavery and racism did not end at the Mason Dixon line dumbass. The north was not any more caring about slavery or non slavery as it was concerned about keeping the union and not allowing the south to secede. The war was not fought over slaves please do not fool yourself to think it was
Actually, many southern generals wrote that they couldn't care less about slaves and simply were fighting for their rights away from the union, slavery or not.
I have this epic movie on dvd, & I watch it at least 6 times a year. Now with a large Hi Def TV & a new Bose cinamate 2 surround system It is just amazing. The best war movie I ever seen. , also the best musical score. A big thank you has to be given to Ted Turner. Without him it would of never been done.
I believe High School bands should play this song during competitions. Wonderful song with a great story. I moved from Illinois to Mississippi 1 year ago. The people here are wonderful and friendly. Best people I have ever lived around.
This film is an absolute Masterpiece, from opening to ending. Full credit to all who participated, especially all of the re-enactors. I have this DVD, & never tire of seeing this film. Richard Jordan & Martin Sheen get special KUDOS for brilliance & heart rending portrayals. Remember, this was American vs American, & it has not, nor will it ever, end. it's our nation, our history, OUR story. ----MJL, 76 y/o
Such warfare is long gone now, you went face to face against your opponent, today, you get killed by a drone by some noob sitting behind the laptop. It's a cowardly way to fight. No wonder no one wants to serve the army anymore, because there's no chivalry. Now I see why General Custer was si much against modern warfare at that time (Gatling guns, armored trains). He knew where it's gonna lead
Visited the battle field at Gettysburgh and walked the entire distance from the Confederate line to the Union line and wondering as I walked how many confederate dead I must have passed on that field.
I have walked the Battlefield when I was a child .. later I moved to South Carolina and I was always called a yankee.. A friend I made .. We sat down and watched this movie together .. I told him it was long ..The closest thing to what really happened !! .. A great depiction ...
I have walked that Battleground .. and it took me years to understand what they both sides fought for .. We fight for one another .. Justice for all Americans
One of my all-time favorite pieces. 3:18 (the timpani roll) gives me chills every time. I wrote a poem to this music that was read before an Education seminar of mine in college. Amazing music. =)
I am very thankful to these soldiers who fought for the Independence of this country. And I thank all of our soldiers right now who are fighting in Afghanistan. Our soldiers die everyday. I know that they have honor.
Thank you so very much for posting this music. It is very moving. Even though my great great grandfathers and their brothers fought in the West during the War, I think of them and what they did when I hear this music.
One of the best film soundtrack ever made! Thank you for posting it for all of us to enjoy! I hope people never forgot the great sacrifice that both sides gave in order for this country to become what it is today! May another civil war never ever occur again!
"We are here, to set other men free" "Never before or since has acts of such brutality has the desire to, or resulted in, such righteous and pure a thing as the individual freedom of strangers from the abuse and bondgae."
lets never forget the battle that costed the lifes of more men then all the years of vietnam the killing grounds of devils den little round top pickets charge the bloodiest battle ever fought on american soil this film and its soundtrack are truly masterpieces this is the ultimate civil war movie and a memorial to everyone who fought killed and died in this war
I'm a Texan. My ancestor was Gen.John Bell Hood. I can see both Union and Confederate had noble causes. I also believe that we shouldn't try to erase history but we need to preserve it so future generations can learn from it as we are. As I hold true to my southern pride I also show love for America
A noble cause? WOW!! And you put that in print for the world to see. The CSA's only cause was to maintain slavery so the rich could get richer. They cared nothing for humanity. Not only for the slaves, but the poor white who had to get killed fighting their battle. In all of history, the CSA's cause was one of the worst. By far.
@Dogmeat1950 Just read his story after seeing this. I think he's getting presented the MOH on November 16. This means we'll all have the chance to spread the word for others to recognize and appreciate someone who deserves our utmost respect. Thank you for the post.
I know it's a year on but when we had the attacks in London I was at Gettysburg visiting my penpal and doing a spot of reenacting. Strange becuase when they played this yes its sad but I also saw the faces of my friends over in the US and know how they helped when you've lost someone or are in similar trouble. people on youtuve constantly bitch about each other but its true. united we stand this film holds a special place in history, film and the heart of most I truly believe that
I watched both the New York and UK tribute memorials on TV marking the 10th anniversary of September 11th attacks. I was watching the UK memorial service when all of a sudden i recognised the music the brass band were playing!! I shouted Gettysburg!! It was fantastic!! Both the New York and UK memorials were very touching and brought a tear to my eye. R.I.P to all those that lost their lives and prayers to the families.
"Do you know where General Hancock may be found?" "The general is down sir, he's been hit." "NO! Not both of us......not all of us! Please, God!".......
"Will you tell General Hancock, that General Armistead sends his regrets Will you tell him how very sorry I am." -Gen. Armistead
Listen to this every Memorial Day, still brings tears to my eyes!
Saddest moment in the movie. Because we all knew he would not get to see him in this life again
One of the best lines
Lord, into your hands I commend my spirit
The same God, same language, same culture and history, same songs, stories, legends, myths - different dreams. Different dreams. So very sad. -Col. Arthur Freemantle

Profound!
He was almost right. Although religious sects, politics, and some cultures were different. These must be the different dreams he was referring to.
Best Civil War film ever made, hands down! Nothing comes even close

Just don't call him Lawrence. Lol
This track is awesome! Just watched the movie yesterday, and even though I'm from Denmark, I can't help getting tears in my eyes.

This movie and the soundtrack are both glorious.

I too love this film.

Great soundtrack to an epic movie. Reminds me of the beautiful scene when General Lee is cheered fanatically by his troops.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
wow

I watched this movie hundreds maybe even thousands of times when I was a small kid - lol and I still do. This is my all time favorite movie.

This your flagship piece Randy and what makes you unique.
This film is for anyone, be they union or confederate sympathizer. I have been both, and the film breaks my heart every time.
I have walked that Battleground .. and it took me years to understand what they both sides fought for .. We fight for one another .. Justice for all Americans
"...an eerie silence fell over Appomattox courthouse."

This song really personifies the courage, honour, valour, determination and battle spirit of the Confederate forces.

Randy Edelman also wrote the soundtrack to The Natural.
"We are here, to set other men free"
"Never before or since has acts of such brutality has the desire to, or resulted in, such righteous and pure a thing as the individual freedom of strangers from the abuse and bondgae."
lets never forget the battle that costed the lifes of more men then all the years of vietnam the killing grounds of devils den little round top pickets charge the bloodiest battle ever fought on american soil this film and its soundtrack are truly masterpieces this is the ultimate civil war movie and a memorial to everyone who fought killed and died in this war
Spotify took away the soundtrack so have to listen to it on CZcams. As much as how long the movie is I still love the soundtrack.
Our Republic died in 1865. As Lincoln put it, "We saved the Union, but at the cost of the Republic"
I'm a Texan. My ancestor was Gen.John Bell Hood. I can see both Union and Confederate had noble causes. I also believe that we shouldn't try to erase history but we need to preserve it so future generations can learn from it as we are. As I hold true to my southern pride I also show love for America
A noble cause? WOW!! And you put that in print for the world to see. The CSA's only cause was to maintain slavery so the rich could get richer. They cared nothing for humanity. Not only for the slaves, but the poor white who had to get killed fighting their battle. In all of history, the CSA's cause was one of the worst. By far.
