		<description>To Charles Darnay,

Please read what I wrote before opening your mouth.  You are obviously ignorant of the fact that I said NOTHING about RE LEE, my comment was that while Glory was indeed a good movie, it is not even close to being the best Civil War movie of all time.</description>

		<description>Interesting interview with a talented actor.

In my opinion, &quot;Glory&quot; is a good movie thrown out of whack by a bad ending.
They just kill all the characters off????
Even &quot;The Sand Pebbles&quot; allowed one character -Candice Bergen&#039;s- to live.
It was as if they did not know how to end it by having Andre, Carey, Morgan, and the other characters that made it over Fort Wagner&#039;s ramparts to simply charge along then suddenly stop to goggle at two Reb cannon crews swinging their guns about on them and then get wiped out.  (Incidentally, I was confused forever about just what had happened to them due to the way they edited their deaths until I met online a re-enactor who played one of the Confederate gun crew members in that very scene and asked him just what happened!)  
What gives?  Why didn&#039;t they cut down those Johnny Rebs at those guns with a blast of rifle-musket fire and then simply fight until they had to retreat?  Be last seen trudging down the beach surrounded by survivors from the other units behind them, then cut to Shaw being buired with his men afterward?

It just doesn&#039;t make any sense, that ending ...

If only Ron Maxwell -who admires &quot;Glory&quot;- had penned the script.  We would have had as decisive, clear-cut, an ending as that which graces &quot;Gettysburg&quot; and &quot;Gods And Generals.&quot;  Films that, I&#039;m sorry, leave &quot;Glory&quot; in third place.</description>

		<description>&quot;Glory&quot; was a superb film and a necessary film because it counteracted the crass racism of &quot;Birth of a Nation&quot; and the somewhat more benign racism of &quot;Gone With The Wind&quot;  -- great entaintment but awful history. Ever see &quot;So Red The Rose.&quot; (?) Blacks as savage primitives and Union soldiers as cowardly thieves?  No thanks! &quot;Glory&quot; came a lot closer to the truth.</description>

		<description>Dear Mr. Darnay, your comment &amp; response to Mr. Hale concerning Gen. Robert E. Lee clearly shows your total ignorance about him. Why don&#039;t you ask Professor Walter Williams of George-Mason University, an African-American &amp; syndicated editorial columnist, his opinion of Gen. Lee &amp; the Confederate States&#039; valiant but ultimately futile struggle for Independence..? Again, I want to emphasize that Dr. Williams is a Black Man.</description>

		<description>Dear Mr. Hale, Robert E. Lee was a traitor to his country. Thank God the Union had a general like U.S. Grant in 1864 to ride his ass until Lee surrendered.Perhaps if Meade had chased him down after Gettysburg the war would have been over in 1863.</description>

		<description>Glory was good, but the best??  This is the false info  that keeps people uninformed and angry about the truth of the cause of the civil war. This is just like the new sign to point out the under ground railroad that didn&#039;t exist at Point lookout!!!  I enjoy your mag. most of the time, but after the headline attack on Gen. Lee and your pathetic response this month, i just don&#039;t know.  As the editor of a news letter of the Sons of confederate Vetrans, i must get information from unbiased sources. Your editorDana Shoaf tried to make a statement that would damage R.E. Lee you can&#039;t. Many of us buy your Mag., but that may change.  Gen. R.E.Lee was motivated by love of God and country and fought like hell to protect the rights of The South!!!!!!!!!!! T.M.Dale</description>

		<description>WHAT?  Best Civil War movie of all time?  Where did you come up with that claptrap?

It was a decent movie, but it wasn&#039;t even close to being as good as Gettysburg or Gone with the Wind, or the Red Badge of Courage.</description>
