Gods and Generals


Fuck me this one just went on and on! I persevered though and dont wholly regret doing so. The rise and fall of legendary confederate Stonewall Jackson is a struggle at times, overly sentimental and waaaaaaaay too long but it is compensated by some solid acting and decent battle scenes.

If half the things in this film is accurate, its difficult to see Stonewall as a tactical genius when its clear every bugger else was a complete clueless wanker when it comes to battle tactics. Surely lining your men behind a wall is basic common sense as opposed to standing up in an open field firing one shot a minute. In the Kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is King.

Worth a watch but be sure to stock on supplies before settling in.
