If you loved Gettysburg, try Gods and Generals

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, and they both carry the cerebral, epic, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gettysburg, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

You fight in the American Civil War as a Confederate general, and then tensions rise, the director balances action and introspection, leaving you with a sense of turmoil.
