steven lang was screwed for not getting best actor consideration, particularly given his awesome overhaul from the flawless depiction of pickett in gettysburg a decade earlier. robert duvall is a far, far better lee than martin sheen could ever hope to be. cinematography is incredible, and the scope of the film is extraordinarily ambitious. it seems inconceivable that more than 200 serious votes would give this masterpiece the lowest rating, a mere one, which likens it to seedy B movie trash. the guess here is that when the last full measure, the final film of the trilogy, comes out this group will score a ten regardless how poorly done simply because it will reflect northern rather than southern victories. worth seeing just for lang and duvall, and the supporting cast is just as impressive.
