American Confederate (2019)
Movie tried to give a realistic account of the emotions of war
The really good part of this movie is the attempt to depict the suffering that people endured from the war and the thought process involved as to what was going on in the minds of the characters. The focus was not on having beautiful actors and many extras but the inner workings of the minds of the characters. Examples of this are the businessman railroad owner who said he saw opportunity to make money in the reconstruction or the bad dreams of the colonial blaming himself and that each side was killing the children of the other, or that a union captain thought the war would be over by Christmas and was disappointed and astonished when he realized he was wrong. The movie was more realistic because the actors were average looking people of all shapes and sizes. In addition, it looks like the movie was shot on location and if you ever traveled through Pennsylvania, Virgina, North and South Carolina you would recognize this. Some people attempted to characterize this as a western, but this took place in the east. For these reasons I thought it was very good and gave it a 10.
