Movie Reviews of Andersonville
Movie Review: Silent History
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie because it tells of the history that reamins unspoken of in our history classes. The Civil War history classes often emphasizes the war being about slavery (an inaccurate view in truth)and how the slaves were treated by the southerners, without ever accounting for what the soldiers on either side went through. This movie in particular shows what the union soldiers went through in Andersonville. It shows how they suffered and how they kept one light of hope to survive. It reveals that not only where there dangers outside dealing with the Confederates but also from their own people, something history books doen't talk about. To be fair the Union also had their own camps, not just the Confiderates. However, this movie is still a wonderful movie to watch for the history buff! I highly recommend this movie!Movie Review: Great film
Summary: 5 Stars
and it accurately depicts the Confederacy's disregard for human life. Let's get it straight, the Confederacy was fighting for state's rights... to own slaves and they just assumed treat the Union soldiers with the same contemp as slaves. If there's any doubt about the accuracy, visit the Andersonville memorial in Georgia. All those grave markers weren't made up as some southern historical revisionists would have you believe. And Frankehnheimer's audio commentary is great and provides insight into the making of the film and the many challenges for a complicated film setting and meteorological challenges. The North's gonna do it again! Heritage, not hate. Go Union. Best civil war production Ted Turner ever produced. Kinda long though and the ending left a feeling of no real resolution, but that's OK.Movie Review: A tearing smile
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie Andersonville is a great film. I loved it on occount of the realism and picture. Andersoneville back in the Civil War was a horrible deathridden and discosting place. This movie shos greatly the stress, hunger, and pain these yankees (or union if you perfer)had gone threw. I'm a BIG Civil War buff so I know a lot about these things. It still makes me cry or tear today to just think or imagen what these soldiers had to go through. The suffering and death that they witnessed as they watched friends die from hunger, sickness, or that horrid Death Line that lined the whole prison making conditions even worse.Movie Review: Andersonville

6 Sept 09 Sunday: A great historical production. WAR is hell, to quote a famous line!!!!!! The real suffering of the captured Yankees shows the real cost of WAR!!!!!! The human mind can only take so much abuse, before it gives up hope!!!!!! This movie shows how a positive objective, to escape & tell the hardship & sufferings endured by the Yankees to their High Command. Thank you Amazon.com for low prices.$$$$$$$$$.. Best/Wishes Charles in So. California....Movie Review: A real gem
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this mini-series on television years ago and had forgotten how good it is when I watched it again. Great acting and a great story will keep you hooked the whole way through. The prison break, fight with the Raiders, and the trial are all deeply emotional events that are awesome to watch unfold. I like movies that really get into the Hobbesian social contract issue of survival Vs. sustaining order.
