Field of Lost Shoes ( North & South ) ( Battlefield of Lost Souls ) (Blu-Ray)

I love films about the American Civil War. A group of cadets, some very young, are unexpectedly put into combat and distinguish themselves in the process. Another admirable but sad instance of young men relishing the prospect of combat during which some will die, others will be wounded (to one extent or another) & all will be inevitably affected by the stress of combat.Others, their parents, siblings, uncles & aunties get to pick up the pieces thereafter. War usually reflects the total failure of a handful of men to lead the dispute to a successful resolution and often fails to achieve anything like the results to justify the deaths, injuries, destruction & cost.I think that any purchaser needs to understand that they will be buying a film basically about a boy's boarding school (for the most part), there is little combat but who needs to see much of boys, some as young as 10, being shot or blown up by cannon?

Great movie from the ACW.A company of southern boys who should only have been reserves, suddenly charge the North and win the battle of day, but at a high price. If you’re into ACW, the movie is worth watching.

I got this on the strength of Gettysburg & Gods & Generals, based on true stories on the American Civil War, this film fits somewhere in the middle, good battle scenes but not enough, too many slow bits, but if any interest in this period it's a decent movie.

A sad but true story. Worth watching more than once.

Here is a movie which provides a sound historically based story of young cadets going into battle. Again this is one for history buffs who appreciate a good drama that captures the atmosphere of the period, and a sad depiction of young adolescents being thrown into battle. This is a must for anyone's collection.

An engaging drama about cadets of the Virginia Military Institute being placed in combat during the American Civil War. Though well done it is not up there with Glory or Gettysburg, but is worth a viewing.

Arrived promptly and well packaged. The film is watchable - bit of a slow start - bit watching - liked it.

Average civil war film
