Movie Reviews of Andersonville
Movie Review: Andersonville
Summary: 4 Stars
Over the last few decades, most Civil War movies were made for TV. Andersonville is no exception. Unlike most others, it does not focus on the battles, the politics or the leaders. It does exhibit the cruelty, bravery and dignity of people in the most inhumane circumstances. Civil War prisons, especially in the South, were notoriuosly over crowded, unsanitary, filthy, and repressive leaving little hope for survival. Thousands of prisoners died of disease and those who survived were generally near starvation. In spite of all the adversity, this movie depicts the never dying spirit of the human soul. The strong faith and spirit of these prisioners coupled with their unwavering will to live is portrayed through the eyes of a Massuchusetts Regiment captured at Cold Harbor. Although Andersonville can be a bit depressing to watch, the overall impact of the movie makes this film very worthwhile.Movie Review: Worst of the Worst.......
Summary: 4 Stars
After watching most movies, you absorb it and a day later it is more or less forgotten. NOT ANDERSONVILLE! This movie stuck with me for a solid week after viewing. Very similar to the way I felt after watching Schindlers List......
However, I think this movie should be viewed as a look into what all of the Civil War camps were like. The Union obviously had prison war camps also. Such as Fort Jefferson, Fort Delaware & Camp Chase to name a few. Many of the conditions in these camps were just as bad.......
However, Andersonville was the worst of the worst of all prison camps North & South. And this movie depicts the conditions extremely well....
My only gripe with this movie is the portrayal of Captain Wirtz. It was really over the top....

Summary: 4 Stars
My husband and I enjoyed this movie. The only thing I could say "bad" about the movie is that it doesn't seem to play in every DVD player. My mom tried it in hers and it pixilates and or jumps around. Not very clear on hers either.
Other movies are playing just fine on her DVD but not that one. But outside of that, the movie is very good and worth watching and buying.
Movie Review: Good and bad in every group.
Summary: 4 Stars
Andersonville was a film made about 30-40 years too late. These days, with the internet and cable TV, we need far less reminding of how cruel we can be. It is a good film.
