Gettysburg isn’t really about the Civil War. It’s about the battle of Gettysburg. It had ambition and authenticity in that regard you have to admire, and ends with a whole lot of dead Confederates (including Ted Turner!). But as for why the war was fought, etc. it isn’t that kind of movie.

That movie is far too sympathetic to the Confederacy, but still the scene where Pickett says “General Lee, I have no Division” is one of the most heart-warming scenes in all of cinema. To see absolute bastards feeling and being utterly defeated.
