I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I watched this film at the Doorpost Film Project's web site and the film is one of this year's finalists. For the most part, I really liked it. Of all the films I have watched there so far, this one has the best cinematics--and as a result is about the most professional looking films. The combination of emotive music, nice camera-work and direction make this film really come to life. My problem with the film, however, is the story. While I don't want to reveal too much, I just found it very, very hard to believe that a Confederate soldier would do what this one did in the film. Still, if you can look past this, it's a dandy and very striking film--one well worth seeing. I can't wait to see more work from the people that made this one.
