Sadly disappointed

12.73.206.239

I can understand that zooming and panning on a still pic might be appropriate for THE CIVIL WAR but here we are clearly in the motion picture era and tons of footage was shot. I'm certain that tracking it all down was no meager feat. It's weakest production value was it's choice of music which it seemed to go back to again and again and there was no fresh approach. There was certainly enough recorded back then by many Hollywood and Radio personalities. I'm sure it wasn't easy to find people who survived combat who were still alive and willing to candidly talk about the experience. This I felt was it's strongest value but certainly not on par with John Huston's LET THERE BE LIGHT. But it was certainly refreshing compared to the commercial fare of so called "reality" television. I thought THE CIVIL WAR was vastly better conceived. I wanted to hear someone like Shelby Foote.
