Close, But No Cigar
|
| I saw this film twice when it first came out. I have a hard time understanding why the producers don't realize that truth is much more interesting than fiction. Numerous factual problems exist with the film although the teaching points are excellent in many regards. Why the final assault on Battery Wagner is filmed being conducted in the completely wrong direction begs for an explanation. The burning of the town of Darien provides an excellent study in war crimes that I use in lectures today. Good film that could have been much, much better with little effort. It is good entertainment but needs to be augmented with written accounts to learn the actual history. |
