I was about ten years old, I can't remember which, when I watched the movie Gettysburg for the first time. We went to Gettysburg the Next day, and I got to walk, okay, climb all of the rocks on Little Roundtop, see the Pennsylvania Memorial, (which one of my ancestors names is on there by the way) and view the Wheatfield, etc.
Now about seven years later, I try to fight back tears every time I watch that movie: the musical pieces do that to you, when you watch. I must watch it at least three times a year now...weird...but cool.
I think the most heartwarming (for me) scenes in the movie are when Joshua Chamberlain and his brother find each other after Pickets Charge, and when General Lee rides past his troops before the cannonade. That last scene gets me every time.
Okay, this MANLY MAN has said too much! That movie is the only thing that will get me CLOSE to tearing up, and anything else, I'll just be a motionless rock of...un-emotional-ness???
Side note: This is why movies need to be portrayed accurately, and INTERESTINGLY! Kids would probably get into the Civil War if a GOOD movie came out that was accurate and interesting. I'm still waiting for The Last Full Measure....you don't make someone wait a gazillion years, only to have it never come out!
