Cinema Cycle - The Civil War: Vol. 5


CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)


SYNOPSIS: The Battles of Gettysburg, Fredericksburg and Chickamauga are chronicled. 

CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: The true horror of war and human sacrifice. 

PROS AND CONS: I literally could not find anything negative to say about this documentary series. I have seen it several times and it never gets old. 

Ken Burns’ documentary of the war between the states set a new standard for the concept of television documentaries and he has never looked back. 

After each successive viewing of the series, what comes across that I find so compelling is the insight into the daily lives and feelings of the people of the age. Something that makes the current American culture appear to be a bunch of wimpy whiners.

To read an overview of this project, check out this status posting.  

This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.

Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film. 

This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle.  A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
