"Field of Lost Shoes" is very close to being a great civil war movie. The start of the movie was a promising one, with the initiation type scene and the comradery that followed with friendship. The group faces hardships even before the battle and they grow as characters. I am happy that they didn't try to much with Abe but they did enough that it wasn't a drag. Unfortunately they tried to push to much love story into the plot and I ended up becoming invested to the wrong characters. I did enjoy the underlying tone that was anti slavery, although it was unreasonable that all of the boys that died believed in anti slavery. Not to mention that it was painfully obvious during the battle which of the boys were going to die, with the exception of Jefferson. In the end it was a good movie that commemorated the death of the soldiers on both sides of the war.
