About this product
Product Information
This epic film from writer-director Ron Maxwell chronicles the early events of the American Civil War. It's a prequel to his earlier GETTYSBURG, with some of the same cast, and is part of a planned trilogy. Stephen Lang plays Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the famous (and deeply religious) Confederate general who, along with fellow General Robert E. Lee (Robert Duvall), must weigh the mighty consequences of his actions, as each battle costs the lives of thousands of men. Over on the Union side there's Jeff Daniels as Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, who, like Jackson and Lee, is fond of making long, poetic speeches to his troops. Beginning with the start of the war and ending with Jackson's death, the film chronicles the three main battles leading up to Gettysburg, using their actual locations and thousands of actual Civil War re-enactors as extras. Maxwell pays careful attention to authentic period detail as he chronicles the minutiae of the generals' domestic lives in the intervals between the harrowing battle scenes. While a little on the long side, the end result should serve as an invaluable document for history buffs. Mogul Ted Turner was an executive producer and appears in a small role.Product Identifiers

One of the GREATEST Civil War films EVER MADE gets even GREATER!!
This film, in the pantheon of Civil War films, is one of the MASTERPIECES of American Cinema. It stands right alongside "Gettysburg" which was Ronald F. Maxwell's FIRST Civil War film in a planned TRILOGY of Civil War films ("Copperhead" being the third film, which as of right now was Ron Maxwell's LAST film. "Gods and Generals" THE EXTENDED CUT is FANTASTIC from the first frame to the last frame. The only problem that I had with it was the original THEATRICAL CUT was that there were way too many things that were cut out of it. The people behind the production of course KNEW this and the news had gotten out that there was a lot cut out so that it would be of suitable running length for a movie theater. Not many people wanted to go to a theater and see a 4 hour EPIC. When "Gettysburg" was released into theaters, BEFORE "God's and Generals" was made, I was 19 years old. I worked at a United Artists theater at that time. When "Gettysburg" was showing it had TWO to THREE showtimes for the ENTIRE day. It was 4 hours with a 15 minute intermission at around the 2 hour mark. Back then there were no RECLINERS in the theater. We had ROCK HARD seats and you were eating your knees for 4 hours so seeing "Gettysburg" was a lot to ask a theater patron. Thankfully, there was an intermission, which harkened back to the days of "Gone With the Wind". When "Gone With the Wind" was in theaters it had an intermission, as many films of that era did. So, THIS Director's EXTENDED cut was rumored about for a long time after the theatrical cut was released in theaters and onto home entertainment platforms. Then we waited for it to be released. Waited and waited and waited. Well, I don't need to go into all of THAT because THIS guy did it for me. Take the time to read this review and you will BUY this before you finish reading the review. Do a GOOGLE search for "The Extended Director’s Cut of “Gods and Generals” BY GREG CAGGIANO" This film, in the pantheon of Civil War films, is one of the MASTERPIECES of American Cinema. It stands just behind "Gettysburg" which was Ronald F. Maxwell's FIRST Civil War film in a planned TRILOGY of Civil War films. "Gods and Generals" is fantastic from the first frame to the last frame. The only problem that I had with it was the original THEATRICAL CUT. There were many things that were cut out of it. The people behind the production of course KNEW this and the news had gotten out that there was a lot cut out so that it would be of suitable running length for a movie theater.

So, THIS Director's EXTENDED cut was rumored about for a long time after the theatrical cut was released in theaters and onto home entertainment platforms. This set gets HIGH marks for being a Digibook, having TONS of special features, portraying the characters as the Godly men that they were (Stephen Lang's character reads the Bible with is wife inside their house in one scene), and the QUALITY of the presentation. I bought THIS one because of all of the things that were left out of the theatrical cut. This is my PREFERRED version of this film. Five Words and One Letter: Robert Duvall as Robert E. Lee THAT alone is enough for you to buy this. So BUY IT already, and see what you have been missing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best Historical Movie Ever Made
This is the best historical movie ever made, in my opinion. Robert Duvall is superb as Robert E. Lee and Stephan Lang IS Stonewall Jackson. The restored footage makes this a masterpiece. So much better than the theatrical version.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
