Gettysburg aka Hairysburg

One watched this filmic rendition of the historic Civil War battle  over a number of days last week. It was a recommendation from The Maple Maverick who later confessed that he hadn't been able to make it past the second day.

Speaking of which I consider it a brave decision by the creators to have the film last about as long as the actual battle.
Of course they did try to distract from this by filling the screen with the most amazing array of facial hair variations, including Tom Berenger in the fakest beard ever.

The film used many of the actual locations and thousands of eager re-enactors, many of whom proved to be eager over-actors.

Overall it is an interesting film with some information to be learned and visuals that will amaze you.

In short: come for the History and stay for the beards!
