How long has it been since a movie had an intermission? Well this one has one. It is almost 4 hours long. This is one of the most accurate films about the War between the States. I found the dialogue a little boring, but the battles are great. They focused on the generals that were portrayed in the book. Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson is the focal character. Also faith plays a large role. A revival had swept through the nation shortly before the war. Faith plays a major part in this story.
