Did you know that the portrayals in Apollo 13 were criticized because they were drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes? Hello! That is what they did in the early 70s! The same applies with Gods and Generals. Many of the reviews here criticize the spirituality rendered by many of the characters--especially Stonewall Jackson. Hey, that's what they were like! They wore their faith on their sleeve. I love this movie, however, I remove one star for overplaying the soundtrack, repeating film clips of canon fire, and portraying the South in a more favorable light than the North. But aside from all that, a compelling film with rich characters. Also, as always, Duvall portrays Lee FAR better than Sheen in Gettysburg.
