"Gettysburg"
There have been more than a few movies based on the US Civil War, but they lack one thing. That is of course a balanced historical perspective. Union and Confederate have different in point of view, then two great armies clash at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where the turning point of the Civil War occurred from July 1 - 3, 1863. They fought on the American soil come to the scence in a powerful production.
Some of the most exciting scenes of the movie occur as the Confederate army marches long journey on what was later known as Picketts charge. All of Confederate army are attacked by union rifleman as they become closer. For the other relevant thing is focused on Longstreet and Lee's relationship as they have differing strategic opinions.
In additional, I 've just known that we can observe the scene of the movie at Gettysburg National Military Park, where lots of monument and cannon along the scenic roads. Also the batterfield of Union and Confederate is there!!!

So many interesting things you left out. What about the Union soldiers from Maine? what did you think when the Colonel treated the bad soldiers with respect and offered to let them fight and not be charged with dissertion? Was this Colonel a good officer/ What did he do at Little Round Top that made people want to shake his hand.
So much left out. What were some of the characteristics of these people as they fought the most decisive battle in the Civil War?
Give us more ! Give us more !
